Blue Ocean Motel Apollo Bay

Clean, comfortable and easy to deal with.

Room size was small compare to to the one which has been selected

Easy parking. Close to cafes and dining options. Access is via stairs if mobility is an issue.

My room was clean, cozy and close lots of shops and restaurants. I could never get the wifi to work and the tv service wasnt working in my room. I was only there for one night so not a big issue fir me.

Entire check-in process was performed by remote-control, with email & SMS instructions, but was pretty seamless nevertheless. Motel rooms are up 2 x flights of stairs, so not the easiest with bags to carry. Room was very small, but extremely well appointed & comfy - despite the small size, everything was well laid-out with modern appliances and modern (ensuite-size) bathroom.

After we found reception it was good to find a clean and tidy room. Check in was just a key in an envelope. The hot water had a wait time of 5 - 10 minutes not very eco friendly? The ironing board was only useable in a dolls house. TV reception was awful and there was no microwave in the room.

This is a convenient and well-appointed place to stop along the Great Ocean Road. It's a short, easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and well stocked with supplies that many other hotels skimp on these days, such as a toaster, dishes, tea and coffee, and individual shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in biodegradable packaging. On the downside, the carpet seemed a bit damp all over, as if it had been shampooed and was not quite dry yet. There was also a smell of fish cooking from a Chinese restaurant in the same building. But these were not major hardships. It is a bit of a strange building for a motel because there is no entrance off the main street and no reception office on site. You enter from the back parking lot and pick up a key in an envelope with your name written on. I can't rate the staff or service highly because there was no one there to rate. That said, we had no problem with check in, and we appreciated being able to arrive any time we wanted rather than having to be there by 5:00 or 6:00. International travelers can use WhatsApp to receive notifications and contact staff if needed at this property. It is by no means luxury accommodations, but it's a decent, affordable place to stay on a road trip.

Very clean. Comfortable. Close to beach, shopping, food. Very close to parking.

Very tiny rooms and expensive

The location was very convenient. The self check in and out process was super easy. But for a property this expensive, the room was very small and there was no reception or staff around. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

Great location and property. It is excellent value for the time of year and is close to everything. The shower wasn't the best, but overall, I was very happy with the property.

Easy check in and out process, clean rooms, hot water takes a while and room a bit noisy but the Australia Day fair was on

For a few nights this motel room was great, clean, new, modern and spacious.

Got 3 rooms. No front desk but they leave keys for you. Good clean rooms and right off the strip. Good communication. Would stay again. Quiet and could not hear our neighbors

A nice clean and tidy ben for the night
