Clean room, friendly staff at check in, advertised here as being a 15 min walk to the penguin parade- this is incorrect. It is more like a 15 min drive. No hotels are walking distance to the penguins.

Affordable, simple and straightforward motel-type accommodation with a touch of comfort and congeniality in the heart of Phillip Island; property is a short drive to the Esplanade, the Penguin Parade, Churchill Island and other places of interest on the island; Pauline welcomed us warmly and facilitated a stress-free check-in; clean and spacious queen room with spa bath; basic amenities but provided in abundance including fresh towels on a daily basis; we enjoyed our 3 nights stay; I will stay here again if I am on the island again in the future!
