Top Smiths Beach Hotel Reviews

Seahorse Motel

Seahorse Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for three nights for a family event. The staff were great, welcoming on checking in, friendly and polite when interacting through out the stay. The room was clean and tidy, had basic facilities in the room. Good base to explore Phillip Island on foot (a short walk to the beach, mini golf, and local shops), or drive (approx. 10-15 minutes from Penguin Parade, Winery, Chocolatier, Vietnam Veterans Museum, Farm etc). Off-street parking outside room."
