Location and getting around
Princetown sits right beside the Twelve Apostles, so you can reach the precinct in about eight minutes by car, which is useful now that the Apostles use timed bookings and a guaranteed arrival time. Gibson Steps and Loch Ard Gorge are close, and Port Campbell, with its shops and cafes, is roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive away. You need a car, because this is a rural base rather than a town centre.
The rooms
Choose a cottage for more space and a country view, or a standard motel room for a simple overnight stay. The family suites and two-bedroom cottages suit groups, and the playground helps with children. The property page is inconsistent about pets, with some room names saying pet friendly and the FAQ saying it is not, so confirm with the property before booking if you are travelling with an animal.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits travellers who want to be close to the Apostles at sunrise or sunset and who prefer a quiet country setting over a town. Check-in is from 3 pm to 9 pm and after-hours check-in is not available, so tell the property if you will be late. Check-out is at 10 am. The premises are smoke free. The restaurant makes dinner easy in a rural area where you would otherwise drive into Port Campbell. Book early for summer and holiday weekends.
