    Mattress outdated but good enough for one night

    Reason for us to stay was to be close to the 12 Apostels. Motel was super close, clean, electric heater and even electric blanket was provided so temperature in September was not an issue. Very clean and hot water. Mattress not that comfortable but we stayed only 1 night so no problem. staff friendly - no food options however room has a coffee maker and microwave . very quiet since it is located 5min drive from main street . excellent value for the price

    This place is a little gem, a mere 3.5 km up in the hills from the Twelve Apostles lookout. We stayed here in the middle of winter. It is secluded, but not far to drive to the nearest town for supplies. The rooms are nice and have all the usual mod cons, like a fridge, microwave and oven. Dinner is available on request. The heating was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. There's nothing better than getting up early in the morning to walk to the Twelve Apostles at sunrise.

    I would not say what I don’t like it at all because we enjoy our stay very much but If I have to mention anything for improvement, a little bit more TLC (airvent probably need cleaning), it would be good ideal to replace that carpet with floorboard for hygiene purpose if possible, designated fire pits for bungalows(Eric help us out to arrange one and plenty of chopped firewood to grab on the property), dog poos on the grass probably need clean up every now and then but they were minors to us and it didn’t bother us.

    Location to 12 apostles was excellent, 5mins by car. The view from our cottage was breath taking and at night we were right under the milkyway. We went in July - off season so we were all on our own and plenty of running space for our dog. Super quiet and friendly staff (Eric) who was really helpful with a smile. Cutest white dog (Healer- very friendly) was there to greet us at check in. It has all the essentials (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, towels, iron and hair dryer and 2 sets of kitchen items, cook top, small gas BBQ plate, kettle, toaster) and bed was clean and comfortable. They provided heater so the entire place was so warm and cosy while freezing outside.

    I didn't realise it was so remote and quite difficult to find on a very wet night. A long dark bumpy track to get to the property through some road works!

    It was very quiet and comfortable. There was a heater in the room which was good as it was a cold rainy night!

    I think the doors and windows should be locked properly to avoid spiders invading the rooms. We saw some big spiders in the rooms.
