The First Impression: We had booked a deluxe suite on a last minute decision to go to Phillip Island for Easter. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful lady named Olga (the owner) who went out of her way to ensure our push bikes were securely stored. The Suite: We entered the room and were pleasantly... More

We were told this was the luxury room (4 star) at Tourist Info and paid a bit extra for it. Very disappointed with TI and will stick to Internet reviews in future. Very poor value motel room. I was greeted with less than welcome string of do's and don'ts. The extremely large room was filled with.... mostly unnecessary and unused/... More

We stayed just one night here, in a double ensuite. Upon entering the room it absolutely stank of air freshner - ridiculous quantities. We could hardly breathe. We opened all the windows, but so much had been sprayed it was overpowering and made us feel ill. We could still smell it when we left the next morning. Maybe the cleaner... More

Very clean room (and bathroom), well organised, pleasant host, situated only a 5 to 10 minutes walk to Cowes town center and the esplanade). I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Phillip Island. More

Disappointing motel - a grim damp room with nothing special going for it. Will do as a pit stop but nothing more, and very pricey for what you got. Only stayed one night though I was considering longer when I arrived. Internet ferociously expensive More

This was our third visit to the Seahorse Motel for the WSB Weekend. We had previously stayed in unit 17 which was EXCELLENT. Due to our late booking this time we stayed in unit 10 which was VERY GOOD. The addition to the inventory of 2 knives and 2 small plates would have made the preparation of Toast and Marmalade...
