Old fashion service resurrected? - or is Martin just part of the old school? Very pleasant nostalgic discovery (stayed here regularly 15 years ago). Like a great wine - better with age. More

“Immaculate and central.”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

Walking distance to beach and exceptional eateries. Martin recommended Sails@robe for the best seafood, we went back for a second time. I still can't believe how immaculate the whole place is. The outside window sills, paths driveways were spotless. No sea or any views but if you're not just lounging around in your room, the extra premium for views is... More

“Come and get a welcome that will blow your socks off”

Reviewed 30 April 2012

I have never experienced a more friendly and comprehensive welcome to a motel ever. Despite being a high season period (school holidays in Sth Aust.) Martin, the very friendly owner, a natural at this type of work, found the time to personally take myself and my wife to our room and explain the features of the accommodation inside and out....

“The reviews say it all”

Reviewed 28 April 2012

Everyone else has said everything so what more can I say. It is a great little place to spend some time. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful and it is a delightful town. We didn't spend much time here this time but would definately come back to stay here. More

We also try to make our guests feel at home. We do hope to see you again Kindest regards Martin Sttanley More

“Still spotlessly clean and incredibly friendly”

Reviewed 27 April 2012

Husband and I back for our 3rd (or 4th?) stay on our regular ramble along the Limestone coast and again ended up staying an extra night thanks to Martin & Trudy's fantastic motel. We continue to marvel at how they can keep the place so clean - not only neat but simply not a speck. They must have some secret... More

“Worth staying for at least 2 nights”

Reviewed 30 March 2012

I imagine the Best Western Hotel group are delighted to have such excellent hosts as Martin and Trudy. It's a humble motel offering so much more than you would expect for the $160 per night. Everything you could need for a comfortable stay is there. The laundry facilities are just perfect if you're touring and need to freshen up some... More

“Nice motel in central location”

Reviewed 16 March 2012

We had a long drive to reach Robe but on arrival the reception was very welcoming. The weather was poor that day so what better than a couple of good DVDs? There is a huge selection available, free of charge and we would recommend the hotel and its staff. More
