An absolute gem. One of those rare places that is designed and maintained with genuine care and highest standards. Expansive views of the unspoiled countryside with the ocean sparkling in the distance. The roomy soaking tub and wood-burning stove were soul-filling after being out for walks in the cool June weather. Mark and his dogs led us to see a koala nestled in one of their majestic trees. Gorgeous grounds and friendliest hosts we've encountered on our travels. We will be back.

Very nice place to stay. Ocean was right across the road, and you can hear the waves at night. Owners were friendly and very helpful.

Worth it for the view alone, but everything else was just as incredible. Very friendly and accommodating- wish we could have had more time to stay here! Room had all we needed, plus best sleep we had our entire time in Australia. Talked about finding a way to come back to stay here before we even checked out. Highly recommend!

Wish we could stay longer. We were only there for one evening. We arrived later in the evening and just grabbed our keys in front of the office, which was closed. Not an issue - there was a provided phone/whatsapp number for the staff who picked up right away and was on-site anyways. Loved the new renovations, including the new heating/lighting in the bathroom - welcome features as we visited during winter. Short ~10 min walk to the nearby restaurants, and down the street from the beach. Would...

The villas are on a steep Mountain, at first it was a little scary driving up.
The grounds have a beautiful, country forest feeling, and the view to ocean is amazing.
You can watch sunrise from bed or porch.
There are various types of colorful birds which land on your porch.
Overall quite amazing.
Only drawback is the distance to the beach, it's not walking distance - and about a 10 minute drive.
However if you are in a mountain you can't have everything, and there is still the ocean...

Parking was really tight, but you are right in front of your room! Just across the street is the beach and visitor center. Close to the stores and shops! Wonderful. Nice and quiet. Beds were comfortable. BEST SHOWER EVER!

Out of the 2 months we were travelling around Victoria, Motel Marengo was perhaps our pick. No because it was the best (we also stayed in some swanky digs as well which were better quality) but the value for money was good, the place was clean, the people running the place were friendly (and very helpful when we broke down before we had even checked in #nightmare!) and it was a treat to see lots of wild parrots around the place. Oh, and it was a welcome to find wifi that A/ actually worked and...
