Location and getting around
Port Campbell is the base most visitors choose for the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The motor inn is a one-minute walk from Port Campbell National Park, eight minutes on foot from the Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre and about ten minutes from the foreshore. Loch Ard Gorge is about eight minutes by car, and the Twelve Apostles are roughly 12 km away. Melbourne Airport is a long drive of about three hours.
The rooms
The double and executive rooms suit couples, and the family and apartment rooms suit groups of up to six. The executive room has a jetted tub. The property has no lift, so upper floors are reached by stairs only, and rollaway or extra beds are not available. The outdoor pool is seasonal, so it will be open in late spring and summer. Breakfast is not mentioned on the property page, so plan to eat in town.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits budget-conscious travellers, families and anyone who wants to be close to the Apostles without paying for a resort. Check-in is from 2:30 pm to 11:30 pm, with contactless and express check-in, and the front desk is staffed daily from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
Check-out is before 10 am, and late check-out costs a small fee and depends on availability. Only registered guests may be in the rooms, cash is not accepted and pets are not allowed except service animals. Book early for summer and holiday weekends, since Port Campbell is small.
