My partner and I had a lovely stay at Motel Marengo. It was just outside of Apollo Bay so we avoided all the hussle and bussle and the room was spacious, clean and all we needed for a nights stay. Would stay again.
Close to main town, lovely updated room and amenities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were very clean and the staff accommodating. Very basic amenities which for an overnight stay is fine.
Overall a good experience and would stay there again.
We had great experience with hotel Marengo
Everything was outstanding beyond our expectations. Views, cleaning & environment was just awesome
Will book same again in future too.
This out 3rd stay over many years at Motel Marengo.
It is always clean and the staff have always been helpful.
It is well situated, in that it is close to Apollo Bay and the Otways and only a couple of hours from the 12 Apostles. Perfect for a short break.
The beds were very comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. The shower was fantastic with great pressure and heaps of hot water. For basic accommodation, it was far better than we were expecting. We would happily stay again.
One of the best motels we have ever been. The reception and management were most friendly and kind. Very generous. The pool and spa was amazing, and just a walking distance from the beach. Things that can improve is clothing line (possibly?), refill toilet papers esp for long staying guests, uncover the spa during the opening hours.
