We stayed two nights in a studio unit. It was very clean and comfortable . A short drive to the beach and to the
main shopping area. Sorrento is a beautiful town with
fabulous shopping.

Decent motel. Cold bathrooms as there’s no heating inside. General areas are clean but do no look behind curtains and bed…
Still, for the price it’s good value for money

I had a wonderful stay at the Sea Horse Motel! The location is perfect—just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I highly recommend this place.

We had an excellent two-day stay in a large, comfortable, and well appointed king suite. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location was very close to the beach, shops, and restaurants in Cowes as well as a great base for exploring Phillip Island.
