Seahorse Motel

Seahorse Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Spacious, very clean, nice smelling, not overpowering. I arrived at 7pm to find they had put the heater on, so I arrived to a warm and cosy unit. My car parking bay was straight outside the door. There is a luggage bench, bliss, no bending. The bed was comfortable & had an electric blanket. The 2-seater lounge was very comfortable. The grounds, gardens, playground and pool were well maintained. There is a free laundry and dryer facility and clothesline onsite, which was wonderful. Staff were very friendly & helpful; they opened the laundry early for me one day. Location is great, quiet, yet only a short walk into the main street."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Smiths Beach is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers looking for affordable accommodation in Smiths Beach, focusing on areas slightly inland from the immediate beachfront can often yield better value. While Smiths Beach itself is a relatively compact coastal village, surrounding areas like Cowes or even further afield towards San Remo offer more diverse and competitive lodging options.Smiths Beach has a limited number of hotels, so expanding your search to nearby Cowes is often the most practical approach for finding more affordable rooms. Cowes, being the main town on Phillip Island, has a greater selection of guesthouses, motels, and holiday park cabins that cater to a wider range of budgets. From Cowes, you can easily access Smiths Beach by local bus services or a short drive.Alternatively, consider San Remo, located just off Phillip Island on the mainland.
