Best Hotels in Princetown, Australia

We visited this place recently. The moment we stepped inside it was a feast to our eyes. There were 4-5 cottages and are not very close so there was complete privacy. We stayed in Tullarock, there were 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen with dinning table, sofa, tv, microwave. The entire cottage was spotless, very neatly decorated and there were lotsa toys & books for our infant and adults too..... Backyard of the cottage has bar b q, sitting chairs and the view is superb!!! There are animals around- goats, cows, chicken and no dogs/pets are allowed in the property. Outside our cottage was trampoline that our little one enjoyed a lot and swings. Outside the cottage was scenic as well. We visited 12 apostles hardly 8-10mins from this place. 2mins drove and there is wetland for evening walk and river to swim. We saw lotsa kids swimming..... Good to get your meals packed as nearby there is nothing.. Nearest towns are port cambell or Colac.... Must place to visit if you love nature and wanna be far away from crowd.

i found the room clean and well presented. The major problem I had was when checking in as I was trying to get a non-emnglish speaking Asian man to understand me. He tried to ring someone with no success and I was trying to tell him I rang the motel direct to book in .I find it cheaper to ring direct and the owners get the full amount this way. Finally he put his phone on English intrepratation but that was after about 15/20 minutes but he did understand me when I showed him cash to pay.This motel is very peaceful in the country and was 1or 2 minutes away from the 12 apostles lookout and tourist shop

The owner of this hotel, Ruth, is a very easygoing person, and even when there is a problem with our washing machine, she will personally help us find the manual. The twin room in this hotel is very suitable for a family of four, with a double bed, plus a single bed with bunk beds. The room offers a variety of cookers and a private balcony. It looks like it has just been renovated and has been very clean. If we pass the ocean road next time, we will stay at this hotel again.

So we arrived at accommodations after driving from Melbourne around 1.30pm. Found accommodation easily but not a soul around anywhere. Buzzed reception and spoke to a woman & explained we had just arrived (acknowledged that we were perhaps slightly early). The response was immediate that we were indeed too early. We offered to go and get some lunch but were told to wait and someone would meet us. That was it!! We were indeed met by a lovely young girl clearly servicing the rooms who said we were in Unit 6, it was ready. That was appreciated. On entering initially we were happy with the size of the unit which indeed for only 2, were inundated with beds, which would be great for families or larger parties. Washer/dryer was a definite positive as we travel light & getting washing done & dry really helped. However reading the ‘guest information’ T & C sheet left us feeling, like another reviewer opinion about an almost ‘angry’ tone and lots of yellow highlights about what NOT to do!! A check of shower room left us feeling that maybe this isn’t as good as we thought….functional but definitely in need of at very least some TLC if not a bit more. Shampoo, body wash & conditioner but no hand wash/soap? Also under no illusions once used you ain’t getting anymore as highlighted in T & C’s!! There was, again like other reviews, a ‘damp’ feel to the bedding…..it wasn’t and was difficult to put a finger on but wasn’t a welcoming feeling when trying to get some kip! Outside decking nothing like photos on line, very weathered and perhaps indicative of the property overall. We have toured Australia for about a month now, one memory will be the friendliness of everyone, the willingness to communicate with guests and a pride in providing information on the area! None of this was evident Southern Ocean Villas’s, indeed I’m wondering why there is a ‘reception’ building as we never saw it being occupied by anyone ! Surely guests should expect a level of communication more than, there’s your room, get on with it ! Might suit some but not for us ! Really felt like, right you’ve paid your room rate, your room is over there, read the T & C’s & move on ! Expecting more ……but maybe that’s just us? Could/should be so much better and wouldn’t take very much ! To top it all, our travel agent at every stop on our trip has very kindly arranged for wine or chocolates on our arrival! We took a call just as we were getting ready to leave from host asking if we’d be about for another 15 mins……to deliver chocolates as she was unable to have them for our arrival……not a massive issue but just again indicative of the culture at the property !

The house is very beautiful and very clean. It is the cleanest of dozens of homestays. It has 5 rooms, two of which have another single bed. The only thing is that there are only 2 bathrooms. If there are a lot of people, you need to line up. The others are perfect.

Lovely motel just off the main road so really quiet at nice. Was greeted at reception and felt welcomed from the outset. Even the heater was already on in our room which was some welcomed warmth. Beds are comfy, showers are great (even though bathroom tiles were freezing) and our 2 bedroom unit had everything we needed. Took advantage of the washing machine ($4/load) and dryers (free).

Four big, one small and three beds are obviously not enough, the room looks particularly cramped, the bed is unacceptable when you enter the door, and the shower is not covered by the curtain. If you take a shower alone, the entire toilet is wet. What kind of design is this? I will not book this hotel after booking a good hotel. The attitude of the customer service staff is also not good. I feel like I just ignore it. In short, I will not stay again next time.

The backpacker hotel, the soundproof is not good, but the tenants are relatively quiet, and it is also an experience to communicate with tourists from various countries. Shared living room kitchen and bathroom, good sanitary conditions, temporary stay on the Great Ocean Road for one night.

The double room unit was spacious and well-appointed. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable and there were two lounge chairs as well as a small table for dining. The bathroom was luxurious with heat lamps and an adjustable flow shower head. The kitchenette had no sink but a plastic bowl was supplied for washing dishes. There was a laundry available with a small charge - $4 per wash/dry. There was a nice garden view and outdoor seating. Very good free Wifi connection. A small swimming pool was available for guests. There was ample, easily accessible parking. The staff at reception were very helpful and friendly.
