We had a great stay at the Waterfront motor inn! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. It’s conveniently located right in the center of town, yet it’s also very quiet, so we were able to rest well. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. We had a wonderful time here and will definitely come back again!
Response from Property: Thank you for your review, so glad you enjoyed your stay in our Garden Spa room. We look forward to welcoming you here again!Michelle

Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting the area. The rooms are clean, neat, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. Its location is perfect — just a short walk to eateries and a grocery store, making everything you need easily accessible.
What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional hospitality. The receptionist’s warm and friendly demeanor during our arrival and even after made us feel genuinely welcome. It’s those little touches of kindness that brighten your day and make your stay even more memorable.
Highly recommend this inn for its convenience, cleanliness, and the heartfelt service!
Response from Property: Thank you for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We love to see guests happy, relaxed and enjoying their time with us!Michelle and Andrew

The stay in the apartment is great. The apartment is clean and tidy. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. To my surprise, the toilet even have a heater which is great during a shower in cold weather.

From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the best nearby places to eat, all of which were within walking distance, making it easy to find great food.
Right opposite of the motor inn is a beautiful beach with an amazing view. It is a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway.
Response from Property: Thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and felt welcomed. Kim, reception.

This is a very clean and accessible motel. Centrally located with good eateries and supermarkets nearby. Has free parking too, which is very useful for us. Very friendly staff and they have a cute dog. Would highly recommend one to stay here!

Great location at the heart of Apollo Bay, just a short walk to the stretch of restaurants and shops (including a supermarket) along the main street. Plenty of parking for guests. Room is large, clean, spacious and comfortable, with plates, bowls and cutleries provided for meals. The toiletries provided like shampoo and body wash look nice and good quality. Room looks like it’s been refurbished recently, seems more modern than another motor inn I stayed at along the Great Ocean Road. The place is manned by an elderly couple, who look like they take pride in providing a good stay for guests. The only downside of our stay was a constant whirring sound that seemed to come from the aircon compressor or motor, which became more apparent at night.
