5. NRMA Warrnambool Riverside Holiday Park

Allansford

"We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was lovely and presented well, in a quiet location with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed in Family Cabin 15 and had a couple of minor issues. The door lock was quite difficult to open, and some of the sheets folded on the bunk beds were unfortunately dirty. Thankfully, we only needed to use one of the beds, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. Overall, a lovely place to stay and we would happily return."

Top The Cove Hotel Reviews

Best Western Olde Maritime

10/10 Excellent

"Superb - definitely a recommendation"

Loch Ard Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great views"

Sea Foam Villas

8/10 Good

"The place was spacious and very clean. We had rooftop box installed on the roof on the car so open car park was helpful. Beach was right front of villa so it was very relaxing."

Port Campbell Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Hotel sur la Great Ocean Road. Chambre impeccable. Service à la clientèle remarquable."

Deep Blue Hotel & Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"All of the staff were great, the location is lovely and the room was acceptable. Unfortunately the rooms are showing the age of the building. There appeared to be EV trickle charging in the paid parking that the hotel was ok with people using which is a great initiative. Ideas for improvement are making it easier to book a discounted hot springs visit; because I wanted to make sure I got a spot I booked in advance and so missed out on the discount by being a hotel guest, I also paid for a towel that is meant to be free for hotel guests; no offer to remedy either of these was made."

Central Court Motel Warrnambool

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Great location."

Mid City Warrnambool

8/10 Good

"We were so happy with everything the staff were very freindly the room was clean and it was quite. I would reconmend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay ."

Comfort Inn Western

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, very comfortable. close to station and main street"

Daysy Hill Country Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Our Daysy Hill Cottages one-night stay in a spa suite was delightful. Reception was smooth and the lady operating it was thoughtful in the advice and suggestions she gave us about where to eat and what to do during our short stay. The suite was clean and the gas fireplace heated the room beautifully. The amenities were perfect and would also be adequate for a much longer stay. The view from our suite looked out over the valley making the outside verandah a lovely place to relax with a beverage and take in the surroundings. This stay was our favourite on our 5 night Great Ocean Road trip and we wished we had booked 2 nights. I would say also that while Port Campbell is tiny it was quaint and appealing. The town was clean and fresh in appearance and offered a good array of dining options. It was a good location from which to travel to see many key highlights of the Great Ocean Road drive."
