Top Clifton Beach Hotel Reviews

Port Campbell Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"A nice cozy motel located within walking distance from the city center. The gentleman who check us in was friendly and cheerful. Room is spacious and clean."

Southern Ocean Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"I wanted to love this place but it didn’t match the price tag of what we paid to stay there. I know there are only a couple of places to stay at Port Campbell but this was a little steep considering the room. We did have a view of the water but when opening the plantation shutters to see there were a dozen dead flies behind them. The position is lovely, it was the quickest check in I’ve ever had and it had a kitchenette in the room we had, so handy for a couple of days stay. The room was comfortable with all the amenities."

Eastern Reef Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended if you’re spending the night in Port Campbell after exploring the 12 Apostles. The cottage we stayed in is adorable and well-equipped for simple home cooking, with the town centre not too far away. We loved the beautiful flower gardens and, of course, meeting the sheep! It had everything we needed for a lovely stay."

Sea Foam Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful one-night stay in a one-bedroom family spa apartment. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, airy, and beautifully laid out, with lovely high ceilings, a balcony with a partial sea view, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed (and more, including a dishwasher!). The location is fantastic, with the beach just across the road and plenty of lovely cafés and restaurants within a five-minute walk. Port Campbell itself is a gorgeous area to explore. Our apartment was on the second floor with stair access, so I’d recommend requesting a ground-floor apartment for anyone with mobility difficulties. We did stay on a particularly windy night, which made the wind noticeable against the windows and doors, but this didn’t detract from our overall experience. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We’d wholeheartedly recommend these apartments and would definitely return if we were in the area again."
