The furniture in the room was new and comfortable. The shower room was very small and needed upgrading. On arriving back from our evening meal we found the room was infested with ants! Reception...

We stayed for one night as we traveled the Great Ocean Road. We were pleased to be greeted and upgraded to an upstairs room. the view of the harbour is lovely. The location is quiet, off the main road, but only a short walk to the centre. Robbie was very welcoming and offered good advice regarding restaurants and walks. Would... More

Upstairs room with balcony overlooking the harbour, very modern, large and clean, spa bath - not cheap but a great treat for a night or two.
