Super CLEAN motel!

Reviewed By Lee L

Everything in this place was clean. Microwave, bathroom, cutlery, beddings and you name it. Pleasant surprise! Dettol wiped surfaces down and the wipes were still white. :P Great location, just on the quiet side of town yet close to everything, petrol station, KFC, beach etc ... Really impressed and happy we stayed here! Definitely recommended if the motel keeps up with the amazing work!

Clean & tidy room, mattress was so comfortable. Shower was so good. Kitchen area for making your own breakfast. Not far from the main streets. Pom was so easy to deal with. This was our second time and we will definitely return.

Great value for the price

Reviewed By uqshinto

We stayed here for one night as we travelling through. While not a 'scenic' location, the grounds were well-maintained. Clean and quiet, family-run accommodation. Linens were fresh and wifi coverage was good. We really couldn't ask for more for the price. Highly recommended if you're driving through.

1970’s decor and over-prices

Reviewed By Rex M

Tired 1970’s decor & over-priced when compared to motels in Apollo Bay and Hahndorf that were cheaper and modern. Owner was very defensive when I asked to change rooms because of water damaged wall next to the bed. Get over yourself and spend money on modernising the place including tv’s that are big enough to see when sitting in bed.

Reviewed By Jamie R

Clean, comfortable and convenient. We’d just done three days hiking around Portland and looking for a place to rest up before our departure. Admella is close to everything you’d want and the staff were very helpful in getting us organised.
