Lovely little motel
Room was warm, clean and provided everything we required. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Especially loved the fact that we could park right in front of our room and unpack with ease. There was no official check in/out desk, but staff were walking around and was able to assist. My only complaint was that we didn't stay for additional nights. Lovely location, felt safe. Great restaurant options around the corner!

This property was fantastic. The room looked like it had just been tastefully renovated, and the grounds were immaculate. Other features, like plant-spaced car parking, a very nice outdoor pool, and available BBQs rounded out our list of top additional features. We had a fantastic two nights at this wonderful property.

We had an excellent two-day stay in a large, comfortable, and well appointed king suite. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location was very close to the beach, shops, and restaurants in Cowes as well as a great base for exploring Phillip Island.

The property was very clean and in a good location . I fell over the suit case stand during the night . I folded it up and moved my case over to the corner so I would not fall over it . Next day we went out sight seeing and when we came back my suit case had been moved back onto the suit case stand. I have never had my things moved around at any hotel I have stayed in before. There is also no sign to leave on the door saying do not disturb.
