Hotel berhampiran Otway e bikes, Apollo Bay

We went for the 4th time just within 2 years , this is really nice and calm place with nature over looking the beautiful ocean and the mountains . What you need all are there in this accommodation . We stayed at Osprey Cabin - East Level over the Grand Final weekend for 3 nights , but is still not enough with this place . So relax , out from the trouble world . Easy own parking just in front of the Cabin . 100% cleanliness including your BBQ at the balcony overlooking the ocean . What more , you get birds giving you compony . My wife love this place , hosts Natasha & Paul very friendly . definitely will return again .

Stayed 2 nights in a double room with king bed. Reasonable price for a luxurious room I would honestly call hotel-standard. Extremely spacious room and bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Entire place, including bathroom, was spotless. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Good wifi speed. Excellent location in town on the main street, close to all the shops and beach.

Anna and Duncan are consummate hosts and their hotel is simply fabulous. Our room had a wonderful balcony where we could sit and enjoy the sunshine. The room was amazing with a great shower but best of all a HUGE bathtub in the bedroom! Breakfast was delicious. We foolishly left our key at reception when we went out and came back to find the door locked (this was during the day!) so rang Anna who immediately told us there were staff on site and someone came and opened the door; everyone was very kind.

I arrived at 9pm and was disappointed that the front counter closed at 8pm. However, the motel worked with me and left a key out for my room. The problem was that it is such a huge complex and there were no clear signs that I spent 15 minutes looking for my room. However, once I found where I needed to be, the room was lovely . I wanted to order breakfast but because I was late in I missed the opportunity to do this - can this be done online? I then had to go looking for some breakfast in the morning which I didn't want to do. I would stay at this motel in future as it was well presented and clean, as well as handy to the beach.

We were overall very pleased with our stay here. From when I rung with questions before booking online (& then booked over phone instead) to when we left, we were looked after well by Anna & another female receptionist (whose name I did not catch). Our room was very clean, in particular the bathroom, which was a priority for us. Basic modern room, which is all we needed. Location was fantastic. We would just all bring our own pillows should we stay again in the future to help improve our sleep quality, as although the beds were comfy none of us felt the pillows were.

Really nice hostel this - a couple of blocks back from the beach so you are away from any noise and really immaculately clean and well laid out. The staff are very friendly, there is heaps of information for travellers on notice boards and the like and the common areas looked quite nice. The rooms are of course quite basic but that's to be expected. They were very nice however and everything basically worked. The facilities were vastly nicer than some hostels I've stayed in and while there wasn't enough parking next to the building for all the guests vehicles there was more parking on the street directly in front of the place. Recommended.

Decent sized room with a sofa, bed, large TV, fan and good air conditioning. My partner wasn't keen on the comfort of the bed, but I was fine - so perhaps her side was more worn in than mine! The bathroom was old and outdated, shower head very average and shower curtain super annoying as it flies in and touches you while washing... hated that. By way of cleanliness can't complain, and the room smelt fresh on arrival which is always nice. We only stayed for 2 nights, and that's all I would stay for in this style of accomodation.

If you're looking for a clean one-nighter that is suitable for kids - then this is the motel for you - good value! It's a long drive to see the 12 Apostles, this place was just what we needed and surprising that it had a separate bedroom with two single beds. Perfect for what we needed! Will definitely keep this place in mind for next time we make the long drive again.

Great apartment. Close to the coast though wished it was right by it. Do note that there’s only 1 bathroom though in the 2 bedroom apartment. Good car parking though.

From this Ken, some sweet reflections 23/8/23: It's not Surfers Paradise (& thanks for that) but here at the front wide window of the best cabin at Marengo, on a sharp-breezed but sunny August morning, there's something black (& maybe deadly)slowly creeping against the rough white waves betwixt a scruffy beach & those ragged rocks covered in indolent seals. Often the rude question rises: What do those seals do for a living? The trevally rarely leap up to be devoured! But I did see a real fisherman take two with a double-hooked light line (I wonder what they taste like?) Mostly I wonder, rather than wander, in this last blast of winter, although we are blessed by 3 days of fine sunshine, when shaded from the shade & dressed according to the time of day. That endlessly engaging distraction of light, movement, & always the underlying symphony of surf moves me away from urban life & that endless list of what ”must” be done ASAP. On this one of many journeys to Marengo Family Caravan Park, perhaps 3 hours from Brunswick if you can't help pausing at the wonderful opp shop in Anglesea, best achieved along the Great Ocean Road, by a seriously skilled driver, whose passengers are always gazing left, just in case a wonderful whale is glimpsed, we feel that slight anxiety about unlikely flat tires. The mood completely converts to joyful anticipation as we pass through the ”big smoke” of Apollo Bay - urban concerns fade & the gently rural context of ocean & forest completely converts hard times to a soft escape. On other visits to this few days of new life we have generally travelled to someplace or other & clear advice is always available from the office. This time we chose wisely to firmly alter our existence & simply soaked into an always interesting landscape. Oh, & the black & beautiful curiosity turns out to have two long ”fins” which are the paddling arms of a single surfer, in full wet suit, confidently moving out to where that magic ride can be sought. He went out of sight, around the point, to larger forces, but was seen later returning to his car, board in hand, & slightly surprised by my gestures of congratulation. The journey to Marengo is endless delights, but the happy holiday, renews energy, subdues concern, & provides a better path ahead.
