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

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

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....

Hi Jennifer H Thank you so much for such a great review! Both Trudy and I treat all of our guests how we would like to be treated when we have a holiday. It really isn't hard to be friendly & courteous to people. I think one of the problems we have in Australia is that there are too many... More

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

Hi TheGlassHouse Thank you for your positive review of our motel. We really do try to have exceptionally clean rooms and this comes down to training of staff and of course in checking their work. We also try to make our guests feel at home. We do hope to see you again Kindest regards Martin Sttanley More

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

Hi Mark Thank you for your great review. You are correct in that the bathrooms of our Standard rooms are a little small but unfortunately wee are unable to do anything about that. Next time you come please give me a ring on 87682599 & I'll upgrade you to one of our rooms with a bigger bathroom Kind regards Martin... More

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

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
