"Maritime - Great Time "
An excellent experience every time. We visit each year for the May racing carnival but returned during summer for a family funeral. The standard is high in every way. Spotlessly clean rooms. Comfy beds. Meals were great and the bar is a wonderful meeting space especially when a big family are getting together. The staff are all very well trained , friendly and obliging. This has been consistent over many years. Congratulations Raj & Bronwyn. Pretty sure it comes from the top down.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Meander588504, It's all down to my wonderful staff, they are magnificent. So happy you enjoyed your stay again. See you for the Races in May. Take care.
"Lovely motel"
We had a very comfortable stay in the family mezzanine room for one night ( wish it was longer!). The host was very welcoming and friendly and check in was a breeze. The room was clean and spacious enough for a family of four A wonderful spot to stay and explore the town. We will definitely come back. Thank you Raj.

"Best hotel in Warrnambool"
Best hotel in Warrnambool. Caring and dedicated staff, rooms are spacious and always spotless, quick and easy check-in/out process, delicious menu at their restaurant Clovelly, very convenient car park and walking distance to town centre.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear meveb1, Thank you so much. With all my reviews its my staff that make all the difference. They are magnificent. I'm glad you enjoyed your meals at the Clovelly. See you again soon.
"Fabulous overall"
Stayed in a mezzanine style room. Only drawback was there upstairs area was hot with no way to cool it down. Staff supplied us with a pedestal fan promptly when we commented on it. Great location, fabulous staff, plenty of parking, will stay again.
"We had a good stay"
Our family stayed one night at the Mezzanine family room. The front-desk staff was helpful, and the restaurant onsite would be convenient for grabbing food or drinks. Pertobe park and Flagstaff Hill are within a short walk. There was a New Year Carnival/Market at Pertobe park during our stay so it was super cool that we could just walk there without having to frustratingly look for a parking lot. We liked the room decoration; its vintage deco with the wallpapers made it feel warm and cozy. The laundry room for guests was handy because we were on a road trip and needed to do laundry on that day. The room was spacious enough for all of our stuff no we were satisfying with its size. My kids liked climbing up and down the stairs in the room because we don't have one at home. However, just be a bit more careful or make sure that the lights are on when walking down those stairs because the wood colour was a bit dark so I found the steps a bit hard to see clearly without the lights. The bathroom looks a bit dated, but it was spotless clean and I actually liked the tiles' design in there. The waterflow was strong and adjusting warm/cold water was easy. We stayed on the 3rd floor which has no lift access but it was okay for us because we packed our luggage light and small enough to carry them around. If there was one thing that I could suggest for improvement, then it would be the bedframes. The beds were on roller legs, so they would move when someone slightly lean on them.
"Return to The Olde Maritime Motor Inn"
Very happy to be able to return to The Olde Maritime after a prolonged absence. All the familiar friendly faces still here and the standard of service and cleanliness is first class. You will not find a better friendlier place to stay in Warrnambool.
"Perfectly situated"
We caught the train from Geelong to Warrnambool and the Olde Maritime was just a short walk from the station. It's in a great spot, near everything, including the shopping strip for those on foot. The king spa room was great, very clean and spacious and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. The food at the attached restaurant was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. An A+++ from us!
"Great family holiday and Stay at this location."
Very friendly team and quick service. Loved the rooms- very clean and the entire place is spotless. This place is a must for anyone returning to this location. Highly recommended! I will be going back to this hotel.
"Great spot"
So clean, friendly service, brilliant service, Great restaurant on site, spacious room, well equipped…. Would highly recommend, close to everything ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ easy drive back but to ocean road to finish off our sight seeing and an easy drive to port fairy
"Nice stay"
There was 3 of us in the family room which was nice and had room. Room was clean and the staff were attentive. The only negative we have is the air con only cools the bottom room and is placed nicer to eves which is very cold. The mezzanine stays stuffy and hot and needs a at the very least a fan. But overall a pleasant stay. Location is perfect as well.
"Relaxing Getaway"
We just love Warrnambool and this is our go to accommodation. We would not stay anywhere else. Professional staff that cannot do enough for you nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are very clean, comfy beds and plenty of pillows. Restaurant has a great new menu, we ate in several nights during our stay and was not disappointed. The food was fantastic and very generous in size.
"Highly recommended"
Had an overnight stay at Christmas and were greeted with a warm welcome from the hosts and the staff were friendly and cheerful. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet with a lovely updated bathroom. Great communication from the host prior to our stay. Highly recommeded.
"Very comfy, very nice stay"
We stayed here for a Christmas treat in a deluxe spa room. The room was very clean, very comfy and very quiet. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We could see the ocean from our room. Communication before the stay was good. We highly recommend as a place to stay in Warrnambool. We will visit again.
"A very comfortable motel in an ideal location"
Room was very comfortable and bar / restaurant area very cosy. The highlight however was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, which I found to be first rate! We were very well treated on arrival and this level of service extended to the bar staff.
"Business Stay"
I've been staying at this Hotel for over 15years through different employment. Raj and staff are really great to deal with, excellent facilities. Excellent location in Warrnambool, walking distance to shops & restaurants
"Great Location"
Very friendly and welcoming, very nice breakfast. Room is spacious and extremely clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the bathroom is renovated with everything you need. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is close to CBD. We will definitely come back.
"Great Service"
Always love coming back to this motel you always get great service here they always welcome you back the manager Raj and the staff always give great service if you need something they always help you in anyway it's not far from Warrnambool train station and it's about 5 minutes walk to shops I come back when I come down from Geelong the staff in the restaurant always give great service as well you would never be disappointed at this motel you will be always come back
"Meandering"
Comfortable, quiet, and convenient holiday location. / Why the insistence on a two hundred character minimum? Admin please note that a few succinct words can sum up a trip perfectly well. We are not overly verbose public servants.
"AMAZING ROOM, FOOD AND HOSTS"
If you are traveling through Warrnambool, do yourself a favour and stay at the best place in town! Raj and Bronwyn are the most gracious and wonderful hosts! Always smiling and happy to help in every way!! They run a great shop...and their team is also incredibly professional and very attentive. The rooms are well appointed, clean and well maintained.The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen serves delicious and well priced meals. I have stayed at other places in Warrnambool...BUT THIS IS THE BEST!
"Great experience"
The team were incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed was really comfortable and the room quite spacious, clean and inviting. I was staying on my own for a business trip and felt quite safe and well looked after. Breakfast was delicious. Easy walking distance to town centre.
"Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn"
We recently had a 3 night stay here and were extremely impressed with the service, the Restaurant both for Breakfast and Dinner, the cleanliness of the room, and the willingness of Raj to meet all of our requirements.
"Great Experience"
Absolutely enjoyed my stay as the room was very spacious room with a great TV and good heating. It was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and accommodated my request for a late check-in and kept my key in a safe place for me to find. They also had the heater turned on before my arrival to ensure the room was warm!
"We will be back!"
The whole experience right from the initial phone call to book has been outstanding. Special consideration and care was given in regards to accommodating myself, my guide dog, and my elderly parents. The apartment was spacious, light, airy, and absolutely spotless. All staff were friendly, respectful, and courteous. We will be back!

Dear melaineje, I do have the best staff, it makes my job a lot easier. Thank you for your wonderful review and I'd love to see you back again. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas.
"Stay Here for the Restaurant"
Typical motel connected to a great restaurant. Room was fine, nothing outstanding but what makes the place is that it is a few steps away from front desk, nice bar, and great restaurant. Very pleased.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear Stay41796631735, I'm very pleased too that you enjoyed our hospitality. Thank you so much for staying, see you next time.

"Friendly establishment, my 9yo loved her time there getting to know the staff and becoming a little helper."
I highly recommend this motor inn, it's located close to town and the beach and a main tourist attraction. The rooms were suitable and decent that met my high-level standards. The facilities were in great knick. The food at the in-house restaurant were big servings and delicious and I noticed that everyone there on business trips were on return trips.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

"Excellent place to stay"
We found the room to be comfortable and clean. The restaurant is amazing. The staff made room for us at the fully booked restaurant for dinner one Saturday night. The food was unbelievable. Breakfast the next morning was also top notch. The staff were attentive and courteous and made us feel welcome. The rates for this Motor Inn are very reasonable and the menu prices at their restaurant are also value for money. We would recommend this place to anyone.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

Hi LauraEllett, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, thank you for choosing our property. We do have the best location and great staff, See you on your next trip.
"Great people"
I stay here whilst visiting Warrnambool on business., and have been for over 20 years, so my views here are based on a one or two night stay for work not pleasure. I have always found the rooms clean, hygienic, comfortable, and well appointed. The main reason I continue to stay here, is because the owners and the staff....they simply go out of there way to try to ensure your visit is as comfortable & pleasant as possible! As a customer staying for work purposes, I often have dine in (room service dinner) this would be my only complaint as that the menu is not great for travelling business people, as often we need/want something quite basic, but wholesome for dinner. Other than that 'whinge' I can't recommend this place highly enough.
"Fantastic Stay"
Booked direct and got a great deal on a two bedroom apartment. The apartment appeared to have been recently refurbished, was spotlessly clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom was well supplied and there was more than enough space for two adults and two teens. The location is great, over the road from Lake Pertobe and Flagstaff Hill, and a short walk into town. Will definitely be coming back.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear GoGetEmTravels, I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay in our two-bedroom apartment. See you again soon. Thank you.

All the staff and particularly the manager were fantastic. We arrived 1 day early due to my mistake when booking. A room was found and then upgraded when the a/c was faulty. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The bed was comfortable.
"Great Place to Stay"
Fantastic room very spacious. Spotlessly clean. Reception staff were very helpful and courteous. Short walk to Warrnambool RSL and Pippies on the Bay. Easy walking distance to shops, hotels, Bowling Club and cafes.
"Comfortable 3 day Stay"
Excellent accommodation, that was reasonably priced, clean and very comfortable for our 3 day stay. Bed and bedding excellent and the bathroom was very clean. Staff very friendly and we would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Warrnambool.
"5star experience 3star rating ??"
Rated 3 stars but should be 5. Rooms and apartments freshly redecorated, comfortable beds and a terrific restaurant (Clovelly) to boot. And it's so close to the water and Flagstaff tourism area with the other direction easy to get to shops. Thank you for your hospitality. Warning: We came by train so don't expect any taxis despite pre booking . Luckily the 12 m walk for us seniors was manageable even with our cases

"Older style beats sterile newer motels hands down."
We liked the older style of this motel compared with the often sterile looking and feeling motels available. Our spa-bath room was spacious, very comfortable and very clean. It was quiet and there was easy access to our carpark and the exit to the road. The reception staff were friendly and very helpful. Our stay was a really nice experience.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

We recently stayed for 2 nights for a bit of R & R. We came into the room not knowing what to expect from a 3 star inn. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the bed, pillows, linen, towels and amenities, definitely 5 stars! The bathroom was new and modern. It was a 2 minute walk to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum, 10minute walk to the beach promenade, and Lake Pertobe too. We also had dinner at Clovelly Restaurant, the steak was perfectly cooked.

The two bedroom apartment was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. Everything that we had need of was provided. The close proximity to the township and the Bay was just wonderful.

The owner and staff were all abolutely amazing. We arrived early, and they made our room available for us, then also gave us a late check out, all out no extra cost. The day of our departure it was raining, so Raj (the owner) gave us and another couple of lift to the train station. We opted for the Breakfast inclusion, and were very glad to of done so, the meal was way above our expectations. Would definitely be going back again, and would recommend this place to anybody.
"Great place for a family stay"
I stayed in this place for a night along with my family during our recent vacation. Found the place to be really nice. We had taken a suit room and it was absolutely perfect to our taste. The decor and amenities in the room was awesome. We also had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel and it was superb. The hotel staffs are extremely friendly and very helpful. I was having an issue with the Aircon but it was solved in no time. Would highly recommend this place for anybody looking at a place to stay in Warrnambol. Will always have very pleasant memories of our stay in this place.

"Olde Maritime - Best Western - Warnambool"
Just spent three relaxing nights at Great Western Olde Maritime, Warnambool. Our room was spacious, clean and we'll serviced. The onsite restaurant and bar provides a great atmosphere, with an excellent menu. All provided by Raj and his friendly and attentive staff. I fully recommend a stay here.
"So thankful"
We only stayed one night here but were very happy with the cleanliness and convenient location. More than that, when we arrived home we discovered our daughter had accidentally left her most important plush fox in the room (we're talking lifelong childhood plush toy). Luckily after a phone call and a couple of emails/messages he was found! The staff were so helpful and looked after him until we could return. We can't thank them enough. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

"Exactly what you need."
What do you need for an overnight business stay? Friendly, helpful people. Quick check-in. Clean rooms. Comfortable bed. Good pillows. Quiet nights. (I heard the rain but not the traffic) An efficient heater. Hot shower. Modern bathroom. A decent restaurant. And Kooka biscuits with your late night coffee. This place has everything I want in a short stay, so I must rate it high.

Location was awesome near centre of town, quiet street, plenty of parking spaces. Ordered the room service breakfast, which was good value and high quality.

"Fantastic Stay - Wonderful Hosts"
Could not have been more impressed by Raj and the team at the Best Western Olde Maritime. We had a lovely stay and everyone in our group commented on the friendliness of the staff, the extreme comfort of the beds and the fantastic restaurant. The reception team were professional and accommodating. We will lock it in as our regular hotel in Warrnambool for the next tour. Can't wait to stay again, Thank you!

Hi Shannon, It was wonderful to meet all your group and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Good luck for the rest of the tour. Thank you.
"Relaxing Escape"
From checking in to checking out everything was perfect. Spotless clean room very comfortable bed plenty of pillows. We had drinks in the bar each day and ate in the Restaurant. Great choice of food perfectly cooked and couldn't fault service. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is coming to Warrnambool.

Hi lyndad2018, I'm glad you enjoyed our new menu at the Clovelly Restaurant. My staff are wonderful. Thanks for staying.
"The best kept secret in Warnambool"
The Inn is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Warnambool, especially if going to Flagstaff Hill which is just a 5 minute walk across the road. Staff are very friendly and the rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The restaurant is excellent and breakfast was well worth the money. This is our new go to motel in Warnambool.
"Outstanding"
A perfect place to stay, they have thought of everything to ensure that your stay is pleasant. I felt so at home here. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the best I've ever slept on. Cannot wait to return.
"Great place to stay in Warrnambool right opposite the ocean."
Our room was spacious, warm and very comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, as were all their staff. Breakfasts and dinner in the restaurant were excellent. Highly recommended for a relaxing and friendly stay.

Hi Rick, Thank you so much for your review. I do have the best staff. See you again soon.
"Amazing location, gorgeous room and beyond expectation service!!"
We stayed here for a quick Warrnambool getaway over school holidays in winter, we had a family mezzanine room which was phenomenal! Super spacious with space to chill, dining table and lots of play space for the kids who LOVED the upstairs with their own TV! The room was very clean, smart TV to log into Netflix and Disney, absolutely perfect for what we needed! The location was excellent for what we wanted, it was quiet, across the road from Flagstaff Hill, super close to shops and lots of eating choices. The service was phenomenal, all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, we were so impressed! We had breakfast at the restaurant for two mornings, and although it was overall great, one morning seemed to be excellent whereas the other was a bit different (e.g. burnt bacon, scrambled eggs were dry and had too much pepper, whereas the next day was perfect creamy eggs and fresh maple bacon). Otherwise, the only thing we picked up on was our shower temperature was a bit inconsistent, randomly it would get scalding hot, and then too cold, then hot again (without any other person using the water at the same time). But definitely didn't ruin our holiday and would absolutely come back next time we're in Warrnambool!! Thanks for an amazing experience, we loved the facilities and effort your team put into knowing our names, being friendly, and going above and beyond!! Thanks!!

"Lovely Place to Stay"
During our stay in Warrnambool we were very pleased to have stayed here. Conveniently located, nice clean and comfortable room, breakfast offerings were tasty and well prepared. Staff were lovely and welcoming, we would not hesitate to stay here again for our next visit.
"Best Western more like Best Customer Service!"
Mark, Taine and the team are fantastic! The room was great but honestly the team were what made it! More than obliging, great atmosphere and really went the extra mile to make sure I felt welcome! I have already started telling all my friends and family!
"Great experience at The Olde Maritime Warrnambool"
Bronwyn, Raj and team are always a delight to be around and always a pleasant stay. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and always ready upon arrival. Food is always of the highest quality. Great location for an early morning or late afternoon stroll.
"Terrific staff & a very comfortable motel"
Great motel to stay - clean, comfortable and a terrific location. The staff were very friendly- from the front desk to the team at the bar & restaurant. Lots of different rooms to choose & great value for money. Will definitely recommend people to consider this hotel for your stay
"I can't fault this hotel"
Greeted personally in a friendly yet professional manner. Raj and his team were excellent in every way. Comfortable room with nice touches like biscuits and quality shampoo etc. The superb breakfast was perfectly cooked and presented, as was the delicious dinner. Totally recommend this hotel. Just across the road is Flagstaff Hill.
"Outstanding service"
Me and my wife, arrived at the hotel, we were welcome by friendly staff at reception, they were so helpful and polite help us with any questions we have, and the room we were staying in was so clean we enjoyed our stay we had comfortable stay.

Centrally located ,Modern, comfortable and very clean accommodation. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We dined in the restaurant and the food was fabulous I highly recommend to stay and enjoy a meal!
"Fantastic service and cozy room"
The place is very nice and clean. The staff is very professional and friendly, always happy to help. The room was clean and everything on good conditions. We'll definitely repeat the visit when coming back to the area,.
"A few days away"
The Old Maritime (Clovelly) is a great place for a few days; central, close to everything, friendly staff, and clean, clean, clean. We'll be back as we could walk everywhere, other than Port Fairy Golf Club.
"Warrnambool Getaway"
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Warrnambool, the hotel was situated in a great spot And the Weather wasn't too bad either Staff were lovely , room was great , clean convenient , bed was comfy. And room was well fitted out .
"Exceptional service"
They see people make an experience and in this case it is certainly true Raj and his team knew everyone by name and went out of there way to help The bar area was friendly with a fire to keep everyone warm A great location in a great town Have re-booked for next year
"Fantastic place to stay!"
What a lovely hotel and restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble…Raj the owner is simply lovely. We had breakfast in the restaurant a couple of days and drinks in the lounge/bar smiling happy staff and great food.
"A relaxing girls weekend."
Can't speak highly enough about the owner and staff at Olde Maritime Motel in Warrnambool. Raj and his beautiful staff who are always happy and smiling no matter how late or busy it is, they're always there to help you.
"Three C's, Comfortable, clean and courteous staff."
This is our selected place to stay when visitng Warrnambool. always comfortable and very clean. Spacious rooms, The staff are welcoming and friendly, The beds are comfortable, good modern bathrooms. The breakfasts are always tasty and fresh with plenty of choices. The location is great also. Value for money.
"Fantastic service"
We stayed in a Family Mezzanine room over Easter. The room was very charming and very clean and comfortable. The owner Raj could not do enough to help with any queries and all the staff were lovely. Would highly recommend staying here.
"Great location, nice clean and comfortable rooms, and staff that are willing to go the extra mile."
This was our second time staying at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motel in Warrnambool and we would happily stay again in future. Not only is the location great, and the rooms clean and comfortable, but the staff are amazing too and go out of their way to make your stay a good one. Sadly one of our children was quite unwell this time and needed to go to hospital in an ambulance in the early hours of the morning, but the staff were very accommodating of a couple of additional needs we experienced during this difficult time and we are very grateful for their hospitality and understanding. If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Warrnambool, definitely consider the Olde Maritime!
"Friendly staff eager to help"
Great place to stay, would highly recommend it to everyone. Nice meals in the restaurant. Neat ,tidy rooms with modern bathroom.Very handy to main street shops and also within easy walking distance of the beach and walking tracks
"Very friendly and clean"
Staff are very friendly and apartment was clean. Took ages for the spa bath to fill up, but it was great when full. Location was great too. Walking distance to a lot of the key locations Overall great stay
"Brilliant accommodation with an on-site Restaurant"
Fantastic accommodation, in a great position & the Manager was so lovely…. He carried our luggage to our mezzanine room. This room was gorgeous & had everything we needed; cutlery, crockery, microwave, TV with Foxtel, electric blankets, air con, plenty of cupboard space & I loved the ‘makeup remover' face washer. The only thing I will say is… if stairs are a concern this room is NOT for you. There are over 20 stairs up to the door & then of course the stairs to the mezzanine level but luckily there are other rooms, just as nice, that will suit you better.
"Friendly reception"
I highly recommend the stay at the olde Maritime Best western. A special thank you to Raj, who made my stay with my children feel so special. Room was extremely clean and comfortable. Staff was lovely. A great central location. The restaurant was a bonus with great breakfast and meals. We will be definitely be back. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful!
"Outstanding customer service, spacious room"
The customer service at this motel is exemplar, on arrival Raj speedily booked us in, offered plenty of information and made us feel welcome. The staff in the restaurant including Tarne and Courtney who was front of house were professional in their service and also friendly. Our room was spacious, with table and lounge and impeccably clean. Our room faced the south and was very quiet enabling us to enjoy 2 good nights sleep. Easy walking distance to both the beach and town. Restaurant offered a good range of meals for breakfast and dinner. We have travelled worldwide and I would say that Raj and his team'scustomer service across the board is better than most hotels offer. Congratulations
"Friendly and Convienient"
We were made to feel welcome by Raj and Courtney from our arrival to our departure four days later. Nothing was too much trouble for them, The cooked breakfasts are to die for. The "Olde Maritime" is within easy walking to the beach/scienic walks and the main shopping center of Warrnambool. We have stayed here before and will do so again.
"The best place to stay in Warrnambool"
We have been travelling for 2 years and Courtney and the front office reception staff at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn were some of the friendliest most welcoming people we have ever met. Courtney was so kind and gave us plenty of information about the area and things to do, she went out of her way to make our short stay in Warrnambool so wonderful. The room was really comfortable, had everything we needed and is perfectly located being a really short drive to all of the pretty tourist spots + shops. We highly recommend this accommodation :-) Thank you Courtney!
"Family trip"
Highly recommend staying at the Best Western Olde Maritime. Raj and his team provided exceptional service and made us feel very welcomed. Everything was perfect from the comfortable family room to the breakfast and dinner service which was delicious. The family room was spotless and ample space for all of us, with a separate table/sitting area. The beds were comfortable and pillows also good quality. The location was great and only a few minutes to the shops and hot springs. Raj and his team also went above and beyond to make my sister (who was also staying there) feel extra special on her birthday. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and the team and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for making our stay memorable.
"Kellys travels"
Good position auiet area. We stayed in a heritage room at the back of hotel, it was a large comfortable room. You can walk to museum and bowls club and other places to eat. The beach and family park just over the hill a short drive.
"Exceeded expectations"
We stayed in a delightful 2br apartment at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn. This apartment had everything to make a short or long stay a success. Delightful staff and excellent and prompt service. A further advantage is a first class restaurant on the premises. This was particularly advantageous after a long journey.
"Excellent stay"
The rooms at the Old Maritime are clean and tidy with everything you need. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We had a great time and we'll visit again, we can definitely recommend this place. Thank you
"Excellent short break away. Highly recommend"
Excellent accommodation option for us in Warrnambool. We had cooking facilities, comfortable quiet rooms, Foxtel at night and a restaurant on site with others very close by. Weather was perfect and during the day we were able to go to the beach, your the local area, short trips to places like port fairy and also visited the maritime museum which was very interesting
"Close to all essentials"
The rooms are clean and modern. I would highly recommend staying here, I'll be staying here myself during my next visit. Very friendly welcoming staff at front desk. Centrally located, just a short walk to beach and town centre.
"Relaxing holiday"
What a fantastic place to stay. Lovely rooms, centrally located, just a short walk to beach and town centre. Staff are friendly and attentive. Restaurant and bar is a great place to relax and enjoy delicious food, with the option of room service. Highly recommend.
"Australia Post"
Very comfortable stay, neat tidy and clean units. Good for families to stay as well as they kitchen and cooking facilities. Quiet and peaceful surroundings close by. Restaurant in house Walking distance to the beach.
"Great place to stay in Warrnambool"
Firstly Raj and his staff could not do enough to make our stay a wonderful experience. Rooms are great and well appointed, clean and modern. I would highly recommend staying here, I'll be staying here myself during my next visit.
"A very pleasant impromptu mini break - first trip to the Western District"
Raj and the team were really friendly, professional and accommodating. I made a last minute booking on a Thursday morning to stay that and the following night ~ Raj reserved a Queen room for me. An impromptu dinner at the restaurant that evening (Barramundi - yum! - my compliments to the chef & team) was so delicious, I dined there the following night also (Rib Eye - delicious, also - thanks team). As a person who enjoys fresh air in my room, I was disappointed to learn most of the rooms (including the one I had) have sealed windows. Fortunately the split system air conditioner worked well and I was able to have air movement. I now know to request a room with opening windows, next time. The Inn is located very close to the Information Centre, RSL and Liebig Street (showcasing both retail and dining options). Thank you to Raj and the team for helping to make my impromptu mini break so lovely.
"Folkie March long weekend"
We have been staying here every year for the Port Fairy Folk festival ('the Folkie'). Excellent accommodation, and service, this year the unit was spotlessely clean, amongst the cleanest accomm I have ever seen. Raj callls ahead to confirm bookings and always responds quickly.
"Warrnabool Hotel"
Good service but for the size of the room an outrageus price $690 for 3 nights. I guess thats what you pay on a long weekend but i wouldnt return.Rooms clean and service regulary. would have been good to put some fresh milk in the fridge. Good recommendation of the Myrtle bar
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear markcK7597JP, Thank you so much for staying and for your review. I'm sorry you didn't get any fresh milk, we always give this to all our guests on arrival. You are correct in prices do reflect on peak season. We have some really good deals off peak. Happy you enjoyed Myrtle Bar. Take care and I hope you see you again.
"Great service"
From the moment I arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. Very clean, comfortable rooms and the restaurant serves amazing meals. Definitely where I'll be staying every time I visit Warrnambool.
"Excellent customer service!"
We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment...beautiful, very clean and spacious. Raj was fantastic! We had trouble with our door and the team went above and beyond to fix it promptly! Amazing customer service! Would absolutely stay again!
"Comfort"
Friendliness and efficiency of the staff. The room was comfortable, clean and all appliances worked well. The only issues were with air flow through the room. We slept with the door ajar and the safety lock on. We would like windows to open, but realize on the ground floor security is an issue.
"Best Western Old Maritime Motel, Warrnambool"
The two bedroom apartment was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Would be absolutely ideal for families. The motel is situated in a perfect spot. Ten minutes walk to Warrnambool CBD and ten minutes walk to beach and Lake Pertobe. Motel restaurant food was delicious. Both reception and restaurant staff were extremely friendly, courteous and attentive. Only downside of the motel is that parking is quite tight and bigger cars have to work harder to get out of spots. That said, the number of “pros” far outweigh this one small “con”. I'll definitely be staying again. Thanks Raj and team.
"Staying again"
My wife and have stayed there twice over the last couple of weeks, great place to stay, we ate in the restaurant both times and had breakfast both times. Great staff and really good food, would really recommend it as a great place to stay in Warrnambool.
"Excellent motel, very clean, quiet,"
We booked this motel on our way back from a business trip. We had teenagers with us. They absolutely loved the room, we had excellent internet, quiet private rooms. The staff were incredibly polite and welcoming. We would come back and stay here again
"Loved my stay!"
Raj & the team were just amazing, friendly, helpful and keen to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Hotel is in the perfect location being close to the lake, beach & centre of town. I stayed in a spa room which was a great size, it included foxtel on a large t.v and the blockout curtains kept my room private and dark for an enjoyable sleep in. Best choice of accommodation in Warnambool and great value for money. I will be returning!
"One night"
Its clean and has a great restaurant and very friendly staff. Preferred choice when in town, The rooms have all that is required when away from home to work and relax. Close proximity to the town center.
"Great place to stay."
We stayed in a 2 BR Apt. And we were so pleased to be offered an upgrade PRIOR to attending. That was a good first impression that lasted the 2 night stay in what was a spacious lovely room(s) for us 4.
"Lovely spacious and well appointed room. Friendly and efficient staff"
Stayed in one of the rooms in the old harbour masters building. Just lovely with period features but all the modern conveniences. Had a nightcap at the bar and a very nice breakfast in the restaurant next morning.
"Comfortable stay"
Good customer service Very neat and tidy Courteous with queries Offered assistance to carry luggage to upstairs room but we politely declined Toiletries were standard No drinking water in the room and we were hesitant to take the water from the tap in the toilet room so went and got a large bottle of water from Coles which was nearby
"Fabulous!"
Clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious rooms. Staff are always friendly and very welcoming. The restaurant does a fabulous breakfast and dinner was superb. Central location and ample secure parking. Will definitely be staying here again.
"Excellent weekend stay"
Very nice, clean and spacious accommodation in a quiet location near the coast and the Warrnambool Visitor Information Centre. Brilliant and helpful staff in every way. The restaurant was beautifully laid out, with good service and delicious food.
"Great accommodation"
Welcoming host showed us room options. The room was big to allow for a tub chair each and the new cabinetry was slick and modern. Oh.. the massive walk in shower....superb! Cost of room certainly value for money.
"Best Western Olde Maritime and Clovelly Restaurant"
Arguably the best location in Warrnambool - about 5 or 10 minutes walk to the best spots in town. Clean, modern, quiet rooms. Raj and his staff are very friendly. Prices are great. Good food at Clovelly Restaurant and a comfortable lounge area. If in town, go there!
"Above average"
The motel looked newly renovated, was clean and everything was in good working order. For me, the only downside was the noise from the road which was not really a problem after dark. I would imagine the rooms at the back would be quieter. I'd be happy to return.
"I love this place!"
Comfortable beds spacious rooms and quiet! Very Covid safe. The outstanding part was the food.... Just first class for both breakfast and dinner. Staff went out of their way to help. Full marks to maritime! I'll be back next time for sure! Well done!
"Great location, lovely staff, clean room. Will stay again"
The staff were very lovely and accommodating. Had dinner at the restaurant which was delicious and they catered for health needs. Great location and really clean room. Shower pressure was amazing!! Loved the bay window you could sit in. Only down side noisy people upstairs and we could hear everything. Bed was a little hard for me, but it's impossible to please everyone. The sheets were lovely and soft and clean the aircon was good. Will stay again
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello 794jlb, Thank you so much for a wonderful review. Our staff will be thrilled that they were able to make your holiday such an enjoyable one. We are sorry that there were some noisy people upstairs. Next time you join us we will make sure to put you in a stand alone room so you are not bothered. Loooking forward to seeing you the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Exceptionally good!"
The location and car park was very convenient Very spacious, clean room, well prepared with all the amenities and brilliant customer service by all the staff (special shout out to Raj). Breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. Would definitely be staying again some time soon!!
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. We really appreciate you mentioning our breakfast chef. He does a wonderful job. Our staff will love that they made an impact on your stay and we cannot wait to see you again soon.
"Good location and amenities"
Premium twin room was a good size and had large screen tv with limited foxtel , fridge in the room was helpful ... it's a great location with ample parking and you can walk or drive to anywhere easily from here. The bed and breakfast rate was good value , with a quality breakfast served in the restaurant to the table (who wants to go near a buffet atm). The door key needed to be reprogrammed a couple of times so ask for a spare and keep away from your phone/wallet.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you IanG263, We are so happy you liked our new big screen TVs. We have recently upgraded them in the hope to make everyones viewing more enjoyable. I agree that our bed and breakfast rate is fantastic value and available to those that book direct! I think buffets may be a thing of the past now and al a carte is much more hygeinic. That is a great tip about keeping the hotel keys away from mobile phones as it can wipe the programming. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us and we look forward to seeing you again.
"Great stay."
We have stayed at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn a number of times know and there standard is always the same, extremely high. We had breakfast delivered to our room each morning, what a treat. We will return again.

Hello W6010NIpeters, We love it when you come to visit us! Thank you so much for continuing to support us, it means a lot. Thank you too for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
"Fantastic time"
Beautiful clean maintained room. Great bedlinen lovely soft towels Miss placed our key too room. Had too call Raj at 3 am too let us in. Such a wonderful person no hassle Perfect host always smiling even at 3 in the morning !!!! Will definitely be back so close too the beach
"Fabulous and Friendly Staff"
Had a wonderful time at the Best Western Olde Maritime. Walking distance to the Main Street of Warrnambool. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Beds were comfortable and the unit was super clean. Staff went over and beyond to make us happy and there is a lovely Bar at the property for after dinner drinks. Highly recommend.
"Best for value"
Raj and his team are extremely helpful, friendly, and courteous. I've rated excellent based on the amazing customer's service. However, the apartment we stayed in could do for an upgrade. The beds, pillows, and sofas are outdated and uncomfortable. Besides that, the location is ver convenient too. It's close to everything. Thanks Raj for your hospitality; we'll definitely be back!
"The best motel in Warrnambool"
I travel a lot for work and stay in many hotels around Australia and it always puts a smile on my face when I arrive at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor inn. There is always a friendly greeting when I check in and straight after I'm in the bar for a quick beer. The restaurant food is exceptional and menu is always changing. The rooms are always quiet, clean and spacious. The location is great as it gives me access to the beach with a short walk or the town centre. 10/10!
"Comfortable stay"
We booked a Superior Queen room which was very comfortable and quiet with good block-out curtains. It was very clean and freshly renovated. The reception was very welcoming and easy. We would definitely stay there again. The Motel is located close to be the ocean, the main street and Lake Pertobe, very convenient.
"Weekend stay"
The staff at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn could not have been more accomodating. We were able to book last minute and asked for an early check in, to prepare for a friend's wedding. They had our room prepared first, took our bags and called us the minute the room was ready. They were able to sort out last minute transportation to Terang and were incredibly kind and helpful. I could not recommend the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn enough and look forward to staying there when I am back in Warrnambool.
"Flexible staff"
We booked here after cancelling our trip to sydney. The location is excellent- you can walk to kiosk, town centre, beach, deep blue spa, playground, lake, mini golf. Onsight parking great. Beds very comfortable, rooms very clean, kitchen very functional, ample supplies even down to glad wrap, foil, antibacterial spray n wipe. Foxtel available on tv. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment. Room 40 first night had a nice garden out the front but no bath so Raj moved us very happily to room 43 and that came with a spa! It was really great to have the spa room! Kids were so happy! He even put a Dvd player in upon our request. Will happily stay here next time we are in Warrnambool. Loved it!
"Lovely!"
Very clean and tidy rooms, friendly staff who were also great with kids. Traditional decor in the room was very fresh looking and bathroom had been recently renovated. Room was still made up during our stay, despite the staff shortages caused by Covid. Great position close to the adventure playground and walking distance all the local restaurants and cafes, even with a 6yo and 2yo. Plenty of parking available and easy to navigate car spaces. Lovely place to stay, we will be back!
"Enjoyable stay"
The character and charm of this hotel give a lovely warm feel. The staff were helpful at all times given the trying circumstances at the moment. We were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for a comfortable, central place to stay.
"Great location, very clean rooms and friendly staff"
Great location, very clean rooms and friendly staff. Love the 'Maritime' title and the sense of history through the area the Hotel looks over. Very central to everything, including the beach, the carnival activities and the township.
"Happy stay"
This motel is so amazing every time when I stay at the motel the staff is very helpful and lovely there's always happy to help raj is very helpful and every time when I stay he know my name if I don't stay there more then 6 months he knows who I am I really love staying here every things is very close to get to I don't have a car so I have to walk everywhere the motel is close to Warrnambool train station the rooms are clean and large too they have room service too and the shopping centre not too far away from the motel
"Very clean, friendly, great location "
Booked last minute and stayed one night with my husband on our way to Port Fairy. We stayed in a "modern" room with one queen and one twin bed. EXCELLENT location, extremely clean room (especially the bathroom), and very nice and friendly staff. I want to note too that the staff's helpfulness and positive attitudes we're shining even through some huge COVID staffing challenges in town. As far as a motel goes, this is about as good as it gets. Would certainly stay again!
"Fantastic stay"
What a wonderful place to stay! I managed to snatch the very last room, a Heritage room, via a very last minute same-day booking. At the reception, the lovely lady checking me in noticed I was a little rattled and I explained it was quite an eventful afternoon (long story short, we were supposed to stay in Portland for the night but the accommodation there was beyond dirty so we decided to book something else). She (wish I remembered her name!) made me feel really welcome and joked “well we have a lovely clean room for you here!”. She gave me a little bottle of champagne as “I looked like I could use it”. It was such a lovely gesture and so incredibly appreciated. The room was impeccable: incredibly clean, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom. Can't fault it. Next day's breakfast was also great. The location couldn't be better, right next to Flagstaff Hill and close to all Warrnambool has to offer. Despite the circumstances leading up to the stay here were unfortunate, I'm so glad we ended up at the Olde Maritime and we'll definitely be back!
"Relaxed, comfortable, great location"
Third stay in the space of a year - perfectly located within walking distance from the beach and from town. The rooms are big, clean and have VERY comfortable beds. Staff are very friendly. I'll be back soon.
"Great location, friendly staff"
We enjoyed our two night stay. It's a nice location, away from main highway, close to sea and walking distance to all eateries and shops. Raj and his team were very welcoming. Onsite bar and restaurant would be handy also. Beds were very comfortable and room very clean
"Disappointed"
Our second visit and was extremely disappointed being woken at 3.30 in the morning by very noisy neighbours, this continued on the next day as party started about 3oclock, we checked out at 4 and surprised not to have heard from owner, will not return
"Comfortable"
Nice clean Motor Inn ideally situated in Warrnambool. Rooms are well appointed & generous in size. Raj , the owner is pleasant to all his guests & goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. The Clovelly restaurant was superb with a great choice of meals & wines.
"Olde Maritime, Best Western Warrnambool."
You will get great service and comfortable rooms at this motel. It is situated close to everything Warrnambool has to offer. The restaurant has great food and service or you can relax by the fire at the bar. The owner, Raj is super friendly and will make sure that your stay is enjoyable. I have been going back to this motel once or twice a year for the last 15 years. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
"Very disappointed in the lack of up keep of this motel."
I am a marriage celebrant and my daughter a florist. We had business in Timboon the following day and thought it would be good to stay in Warrnambool. I chose this motel because of its vicinity mainly. A lot of inexpensive motels to choose from I thought this would be nicer as well. The first room I had booked was a simple double room that had no microwave in it and the club chairs were very tattered and obvious stains on the carpet. I asked for an upgrade, a bigger room which cost an extra $110... the room was indeed bigger but was not worth the $257.00 I had parted with. 1. Cigarette smoke smell was very very strong. 2. No fly screens on windows so I was unable to keep windows open due to flies and being placed above the rubbish bins. 3. No fan in the single room or heater. 4. Stains on carpet throughout the apartment. 5. Lino had big cuts around the refrigerator. 6. Salt and pepper shakers were sticky with grime. 7. Remote control had something (probably food) stuck to it. 8. No reading lights in lounge room. 9. Only 3 tissues in tissue box. Yes the reception were very friendly but I truly expected a lot better condition to a supposed 4.5 star motel. You really need to clean up you act guys.....I rate you a 3 star at the most.

Dear annaleneg2021, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. I am very sorry to hear that your room and stay were not up to the high standard that we hold ourselves to, and we will be following this up with our housekeeping staff right away. We are arranging a deep clean of your room, including a thorough cleaning of the carpet. The permanent fixtures are noted. We appreciate your review and hope you can visit us again soon. Have a wonderful Christmas.
"Wonderful relaxing stay"
Great room which was clean and fresh, meals (breakfast and dinner) were delicious, service friendly and timely and bar/lounge area relaxing for a casual drink after. Check in and check out prompt and efficient. Will return again.
"Great location"
The BW Olde Maritime Motel has modern clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff. It is well situated for walking to the shopping area, restaurants, Lake Pertobe and Flagststaff Hill Maritime Village. On-site is a nice restaurant called Clovelly. We have stayed at this motel a couple of times and it is now our preferred motel when we're in Warrnambool. Highly recommended.
"Amazing friendly staff!!"
Amazing service and great location!!! Very friendly staff, comfortable bed and great breakfast!! Staff were very helpful, room was very clean and spacious! Located in the centre of town, close to shops, restaurants and bars! **********
"The kindness revolution has arrived at the Olde Maritime motel"
I'm currently reading the book 'The Kindness Revolution' so kindness was on my mind I arrived on a Friday. This Best Western has kindness in abundance! They cover everything from offering a pick up from the train station to offering us a quieter spot in the restaurant away from a noisy group. The room was spacious and very clean with a pleasant scent when you enter. It has a recently renovated bathroom with a rain showerhead (which was wonderful), and the bed was very comfortable. We had dinner in the on-site restaurant and the food and service was great. Ebony is a fabulous waitress who attended to our every need. Breakfast was included in our package and we had a beautiful breakfast, once again served by Ebony. We will definitely steady at BW again. A big thumbs up to Raj and his staff.
"Great location and great service"
I would definitely recommend this accommodation in the future. The staff were fantastic, the location was central to everything I needed for my business trip, from the food available through to the amenities.
"Weekend Away"
Quick weekend away without the kids. Rooms were clean and neat and I found the beds really comfy. Large screen TV was welcome. Parking was easy and close to our room. Easy walking to The Flagstaff Hill Village and down to the RSL for tea. Will happily stay here again on future visits.
"Tess"
Was awesome place from clean update amenities with all you need in room and to awesome helpful friendly staff, we're nothing was too much trouble from ferrying us to a wedding in personal vehicle The total package Position in town was great too
"Best Western for a great experience"
Great location, terrific service and friendly, welcoming staff who know their town. My elderly mother's first post-lockdown travel experience was a success. She particularly appreciated how professional the staff were but also how interested they were in her enjoyment of the trip.
"Company Corporate Event"
The Best Western Olde Maritime has always been our go to motel in Warrnambool for both business and pleasure travel. In November we took the opportunity to take 15 of our Victorian accounts to Warrnambool for a catch up after the Melbourne lock down. Originally we had planned to take the group to the Dunkeld Cup, but with the restrictions not allowing crowds, we floated the idea with management of the Best Western Olde Maritime that we would run a horse racing theme event at their on site restaurant, Clovelly. The amount of time, dedication and attention to detail which was performed by the team at the Best Western and Clovelly delivered an event which exceeded all expectations. We had 40 customers attend the event and all have given feedback to us on how fantastic not only the event was, but the quality of food, beautiful presentation of the accommodation and outstanding customer service from the motel and restaurant. We could not be happier with our event and this motel - it really is a hidden gem in regional Victoria.
"Fantastic "
The level of customer service these guys go to is fantastic. They're so friendly and genuine. The room was spotless. We had breakfast included in our room deal and that was amazing as well. The only downside was the bed was a bit hard but that's also a personal thing. I would definitely go back just for the customer service alone
"Clean, pleasant, well-located Warnambool motel"
Very friendly and efficient staff, overseen by the enthusiastic manager, Raj. Room was spacious and very clean, bathroom spotless. Our room was in the wing by Merri St, which can be busy (thus a bit noisy) in daytime, but is quiet at night. Didn't bother us, but if it's an issue, ask for a room in one of the other wings, which would be quieter. The room was attractively laid out, and has a large TV, netflix included (but, unlike the people before us, remember to log out, or following guests can use your account!) Could open a window, which was good for fresh air. It also hosts the Clovelly restaurant & bar, one of Warnambool's best restaurants. Best of all, it's a short walk round the corner to the centre of town, shops, restaurants, cafes, etc, and a very short stroll in the opposite direction to the Flagstaff Hill attraction. Recommended.
"Quick overnight stay for business"
Huge room and equally huge TV with a range of streaming options. Decor a bit dated now but spotlessly clean and comfortable furnishings. Great location, close to all amenities. Owner Raj was very pleasant to deal with. Will definitely be staying again if in Warnambool.
"Great place to stay in Warrnambool"
Raj and the staff at Olde Maritime are always friendly and accommodating. I have stayed in many different places in Warrnambool, and will now keep coming back to Olde Maritime now that I have stayed there.
"Best Hotel in Warrnambool"
Beautiful spotless comfortable and well appointed rooms. We had dinner and breakfasts in the dining rooms which was excellent. Raj was very accommodating as we were a group of 13. Highly recommend. Hard to find a hotel that's run this well
"Great Management and very clean"
Raj and his partner made our motorbike riding group very welcome. Even down to bags of rags to wipe out bikes down after a long ride. The breakfast was very nice and was well organized. Management like this is rare in this day and age. I highly recommend a stay here
"Lovely stay"
It is a nice place and close to everything. The manager (Raj) was accomodating and very helpful. Also, Courtney was helpful. All the staff were nice. Booking flexibility given COVID situation was a big plus. Room is cosy, clean and comfortable. Highly recommend the place.
"Great Escape"
We had a great time Raj and his staff really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotless clean and comfortable. We dined in their Restaurant and the food was very yummy, cooked just how we asked, even the room service breakfast. Well done Raji, thanks Lynda and John.
"Home away from Home"
Always a big happy welcome on arrival, rooms updated room very clean very comfortable Restaurant and Bar very relaxing offering great food and Wine List Not far from the Beach one way and then Shops, Art Gallery and other eateries in the other direction Raj (Owner) and his Staff go out of their way to be helpful and welcoming Highly Recommend
"Time to recharge our health ."
The service was perfect , Raj was very patient and accommodating ! nothing was too much trouble when you had a question to ask . The room was spacious ,clean and comfortable. Every thing was close to walk or drive, in easy reach to The town Centre as there was to a lot of attractions close by. We will always return to relax and enjoy ourselves here. Thank you Raj .
"Friendly and warm"
Clean, friendly, terrific! I enjoyed the window seat a lot! The layout was really appropriate. Nice and quiet. Birdlife visible through the window. Not far from the water. Great brekkie! Promptly delivered and checked afterwards.
"24th Wedding Anniversay"
This hotel is amazing, the man behind the counter Raj was impeccable. They checked on our stay and comfort 20 mins into our arrival. We will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend. Room service was great, the food was amazing and reasonably priced.
"Family weekend away"
Spacious family appartment. Had a great weekend, close to everything, short walk to the beach/playgrounds and Main Street. Will def stay again! The manager Raj is amazing! Resturant options are great also.
"Above and beyond "
Great place to stay when visiting Warrnambool. Rooms are clean and inviting, when I arrived the lights where on an heating turned on ready. TV's are all just updated to new smart TV's. Raj goes above and beyond, always friendly when greating you when arriving. I stayed on a Sunday night as the restaurant was closed I have dinner delivered. I didn't receive any cutlery with the takeaway so I called reception to see if I could borrow some. Raj answered and said he would bring me some he would just be a few minutes as he had just got home. I told him not to worry about it, about quarter of the way through eating my curry with a teaspoon, Raj knocks on my door. Clean room, great service, and great meals from the restaurant.
"Great motel in convenient location"
All the staff were exceptional. The motel has been updated since our last stay here 10 years ago. The rooms are clean, modern and well appointed. The meals we had for dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were very good. Motel is conveniently located within walking distance of the beach and main shopping/dining precinct.
"Excellent stay"
We had a wonderful experience The accomodation was excellent and breakfast was delicious We would recommend this accomodation to anyone visiting Warrnambool Raj and staff are very helpful and go an extra mile to make your stay special
"Well appointed room close to everything"
What a fantastic place to stay! Large family room with beautifully renovated and modern bathroom. I especially liked the real milk option for our tea! Lovely quiet room and in a fantastic central location. Easy to get to and a short stroll to the centre of town.

Hi Lisagp2181, It was so nice to meet you and your family. Thank you so much for staying with us.

We really apprectiate you taking the time to write such a wonderful review for us and we look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in town.
"Great Place to Stay Work or Holiday"
I have stayed at Best Western Olde Maritime twice now - I love it how the staff greet me by my name when I arrive or query at reception or sit for a meal in the restaurant. Rooms a clean and well maintained. Restaurant food is very good. My only complaint - the parking spot for my room was too short for my Nissan Navara.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you paulhend54, We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a great review for us. Our corporate visitors are very important to us and we really appreciate your support.

Looking forward to seeing you on your next trip to Warrnambool.
"Our stay"
Our stays are always fantastic , the staff are all fantastic, the food is always delicious , the rooms are spotless; I wouldn't be able to pick the slightest fault anywhere. Warrnambool is such a great place to visit and explore.

"Simply the best"
We have stayed at The Olde Maritime Motor Inn a number of times and we will keep returning as the staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are always clean and well kept. A big plus is having The Clovelly restaurant as part of the complex allowing you to eat at the restaurant or have room service. The main street is also in easy walking distance.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

"Best Western Olde Maritime"
Excellent location. Quiet, but central to everything. Clean, spacious room. Great restaurant including room service. Fantastic friendly staff. Would definitely stay again. Would be nice if there was an outdoor area to sit.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello Branwelsh, We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a great review for us. Thank you for mentioning our restaurant Clovelly and our wonderful staff. With restrictions the way they are we are in the planning stage of providing an outdoor area for our guests to enjoy. Once the weather warms up a bit it will be the perfect spot to sit and have a drink and a nibble! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
"Patchwork supplies from Elm Grove Nullawarre."
The Olde Maritime Motor Inn in Warrnambool is the best. My friend and I love staying there as the owner and staff are lovely people. They always make us feel very welcome and comfortable. It is a great location as well.
"Short get away between lockdowns!"

"Raj is a great host!!"
Fantastic personalised service during Covid. Nothing too much trouble. Perfect location for walks on the beach. The food was absolutely beautiful, and came steaming hot. Breakfast also good, delivered to the door. The rooms were comfy, clean and the bathrooms have been updated.

"Great location Great food and Amazing staff and service"
Raj is a fantastic bloke. So friendly. Check in quick and easy. Loved the location. You could Walk down to beach or walk into Town. We had dinner there and it was so yummy. Wish I could have stayed another night to have the eye fillet.

"Stylish Stay"
Room was neat and clean. Bed very comfortable. Staff very friendly & courteous. Ample off road secure car parking. Great location, we had an ocean view from our Spa room. We would recommend this motel for couples wanting a perfect getaway.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello 718Getaway66, Thank you so much for the great review. I agree our Deluxe Spa rooms are the perfect retreat for a couple wanting to get away and relax. We are so happy that we could make your holiday a memorable one. Thank you as well for mentioning our wonderful staff. We are very lucky. Looking forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Perfect"
What a fabulous motel!! I had originally messed up my booking which was very efficiently corrected by a staff member to the correct date without any fuss. We arrived to an upgraded Heritage Queen room which we found to be lovely. Located in the old Light Keepers home it had a certain charm, not to forget the gorgeous fireplace although not functioning added to the authenticity of the home. Everything we needed was supplied and the bedding, bed guaranteed a good nights sleep. We enjoyed pre dinner drinks in their bar by the cosy fire where the friendly staff came to the fore, most stopping for a chat which we found delightful. Dinner in the Clovelly restaurant was fabulous and once again service was attentive and friendly. I just want to single out one staff member although all staff we met were wonderful; Courtney who was responsible not only in fixing my booking blooper and our subsequent upgrade but was just so friendly and vivacious making sure each guest was looked after. Would thoroughly recommend this motel to everybody who will be assured a fantastically comfortable environment. Well done !!
"Great spot to stay in Warrnambool"
Great location and nice rooms. Bed was comfy and the room was warm. Breakfast was really nice too. Very close to the main shopping street and to the Flagstaff Hill Maritime precinct. The staff were all really friendly and helpful too.
"Great Service"
Very happy with the service and room. Check in was easy and quick and its always a pleasure to stay here. The food in the restaurant is of a high quality and good value and the staff always remember my name. Thank you I feel very welcomed.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you Rob! As always it is great to see you. Thank you so much for writing us such a nice review. We really appreciate your continued patronage. Corporate travellers like yourself are so important to us and we hope you feel like part of our family. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
"Nice rooms, great food, great staff"
My group had four rooms. Without doubt the rooms were comfortable and well appointed. Staff were very friendly, approachable and made our stay very enjoyable. The bar and dining facilities were warm and inviting. A cosy open fire adds to this charm. Dinner and service was equally of a high standard. We were on business but i will return with my partner. The motel is conveniently located to the Flagstaff Maritime museum and a short distance from the town centre.

We like to provide options for everyone and think it is increasingly important. I am so happy you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
"Oldish but Goodish"
Had a brief one night stay of the supposed two-night stay that I initially booked in for due to Victoria's snap lockdown. Raj the hotel owner/manager was very friendly, professional, helpful. The place is oldish but very nice. Everything is clean and tidy. We stayed in a Deluxe Spa room. The room was spacious, the bathroom was spacious. We had a massive flat-screen TV and a dual-controller electric blanket for our bed. The location is great, literally just across the road from the beach and the lake. In saying that, there is not much view from our window though, we're on the 1st level and you can only see the road. All in all, it was a really good short stay, will definitely consider staying here again should we be back in Warrnambool :).
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you Biene278. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I agree our location is perfect. Right near the beach and city centre. Next time you stay book a Deluxe Spa on the third floor of our Lighthouse building. The cathedral ceilings are beautiful and you get a much better view if you do not mind stairs! Looking forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Quality accommodation at a reasonable price"
Enjoyed a recent overnight stay at this motel which provides comfort and modern amenities. The room, queen deluxe, and bathroom are very clean with a reverse cycle air conditioner and quality fittings. The rooms are an adequate size without being either cramped or overly spacious. Free parking is on-site outside your room. The on site licensed restaurant, 'Clovelly' , is worth a visit offering gourmet dinner and very attentive service. The wine list is interesting. Breakfast is also served in the restaurant and servings are generous and reasonably priced. Breakfast is a la carte so you pay for what you order rather than a set charge. I highly recommend this motel and restaurant.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you gglg! We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a great review for us. Our staff will be thrilled that they helped make your stay a memorable one. Thank you too for mentioning our onsite restaurant Clovelly. We are so very proud of our staff and all their hard work. We would love to see you again the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Great getaway"
The hotel is really nice and the food at the restaurant is absolutely superb. Staff were very nice and friendly. They were also very nice to upgrade us to a spa room. The location is also very good, with ample parking, and within walking distance to shops, parks and the beautiful bay. We're so glad we made the choice to head to Warrnambool, it was a much needed get away and was a wonderful change from the stresses of Melbourne. It was definitely an excellent choice and a much needed holiday after such a stressful year.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind review. Our staff will be thrilled that they were able to make your holiday such an enjoyable one. I agree our location is fantastic!

"great room and welcoming staff"
rooms clean and cosy and spacious with modern amenities. Comfortable bed. Raj and his staff welcoming and helpful. Close to main shopping area of Warrnambool and close by to numerous restaurants and bars.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Rhonda, Thank you so much for writing this review for us. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and we hope to see you again soon.
"Beautiful stay"
Our 12th stay here at olde maritime was sheer brilliance in both the room and Raj and his staff. Will definitely be back sometime in the near future. Clovelly restaurant is as usual, delicious food. I highly recommend here.
"Everything you could want"
Good customer service, comfortable and clean room with all the amenities, friendly service and excellent food in the restaurant. Can recommend this Inn and we will be back when next we visit Warrnambool.
"Home Away from Home"
Raj and his staff always provide an oasis from the daily demands of business travel. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and the bar and restaurant offer a superb to any long day. The location close enough but far enough away from the city centre and only a short walk to the beach.
"Weekend away"
Had a lovely weekend away in the deluxe spa room, which was beautiful, clean and quiet. Spa bath was a real treat and great size. Staff were so friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again!
"Comfortable, cosy and spotlessly clean. So convenient and lovely restaurant. "
A spontaneous decision to bring my daughter away for her 18th and a yr 12 break found us staying here for 2 nights. A comfortable and cosy stay in a spotlessly clean room. Walking distance to beaches, town, cafes and a number of Warrnambool's attractions. We also enjoyed a pre-ordered, most delicious, room service meal from the restaurant, when we returned after the restaurant had closed. Staff particularly friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
"Impressive"
The rooms are very neat and clean, and it's nice to have some Foxtel channels on your tv as well. It's a good area too, its very close to lots of great areas in Warnambool. Overall it was pretty good.
"Relaxing Escape"
From when we arrived until we checked out the staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotless clean and it made us feel better under the current situation. It was a 6.5 hour drive for us, and when we asked if we were able to get a drink they were only too happy to serve us from the bar attached to the Restaurant where we had booked for Dinner. The Manager was very friendly, nothing was of to much trouble for him. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
"Charming, comfortable accommodation"
I chose this motor inn because it was close to the beach and the historic sites. Check-in was fast, efficient, and friendly. The rooms were comfortable, warm, and most importantly, they were quiet. The motel also has a welcoming bar with deep leather couches and friendly staff. Well worth checking out on your next visit.
"Great"
Friendly manager, super clean, warm spacious room. Definitely stay again if in the area. Close to shops and beach walks. Stayed in the lighthouse wing with sea views and spa bath. 2 flights of stairs.
"Relaxing stay with olde world charm"
Check in was a breeze, extremely friendly and helpful hosts, the room itself had olde worlde charm, a very beautiful room on the top floor, the bed was very cosy and comfortable. Close to the beach and city. We had drinks in the bar and they had the fire on so it was great to sit at the window and just enjoying the view. I want to add that I requested this room as I saw it on the website and wanted this room because I was having a Romantic weekend away and felt this room fitted what I wanted and I was definitely not disappointed at all. Highly recommend.
"Best stay ever."
From reception to check out the staff went out of their way to make our 3 days a real holiday. We have never been offered a hand to carry our luggage from the car to the room before and this was the first of many incidents where the staff went that extra step to please us.Housekeeping,great girls,Dining Room and kitchen staff were excellent in all that they did.When we requested a meal not on the menu for the next two evenings it took only a few minutes for the Chef to organize and we were delighted at the resulting meals. From my wife and I,a great "well done" to all at Olde Maritime Warrnambool Definitely be back. Thanks to you all.
"Weekend at Warrnambool"
We found The Olde Maritime Motel very clean and the Spa Suite was very spacious. We ate in the restaurant and can highly recommend the delicious meals we ate and the owners and staff were absolutely delightful and friendly. I give my stay 10 /10 We will be back !
"Happy travellers"
Checkin receptionist, dinner , bar and breakfast staff were extremely friendly and cheerful. Thoroughly enjoyed drinks, dinner and breakfast at the motel. Plenty of choices on menu. Very happy with our room cleanliness. Bed very comfortable and warm. Bathroom was modern and upto date, with all the usual amenities. Overall would be very happy to stay again. Parking was easy, right outside our room . Great location. Well done to all the staff in these covid times. 10 out 10 from us.
"Personal Care for Corporates"
Warm welcome, attentive service, good food and consistent support for me as a corporate. I will always come back to the Olde Maritime because Raj and the team make every effort to ensure that I am welcome and supported.
"Regular Corporate customer"
Great Service ,Rooms ,Restaurant and lovely people. Most importantly all of this is consistent with each time i stay and any new staff that i meet and the rooms are also quiet and well laid out. It is my go to accommodation in the area.
"Olde Maritime Motel Warrnambool Victoria"
Great service, comfy clean rooms. Great restaurant with delicious meals served. Extremely happy with the service and location Feels like a second family ! The staff are professional but extremely personable and do everything possible to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay at Olde Maritime Highly recommend !
"Wonderful stay"
We had a wonderful stay for our 5th Anniversary. We stayed in a Heritage Room which was lovely and clean and eventhough it did front Merri Street thanks to the roadworks at the roundabout there was no through traffic so it was lovely and quiet. If you like quiet though, requesting a room away from there would normally be a good idea. The meal on Friday night was lovely and the staff were lovely and attentive. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday was just to our liking and thankyou to Courtney for her lovely banter. Was nice to be welcomed and called "the Happy People". We would gladly stay again.

We like to make our guests feel like they are a part of that. Thank you for noticing and mentioning our fantastic staff. Looking forward to seeing you both again soon hopefully.
"Lovely place to stay"
We were in Warrnambool recently for a family wedding. We chose the Maritime for its location across the road from Flagstaff Hill where the ceremony was held and on recommendation from family in the area. We chose a spa room in the older part of the Inn. The room was lovely and big, providing plenty of room for us to get ready. We ordered breakfast and it was delivered to our room which was super convenient. My only suggestion would be to swap out the double bed for a king sized bed. That would make the room and stay truly comfortable. Highly recommend.
"Wonderful place to stay"
We loved our stay room was lovely, no road noise, staff helpful and went above and beyond very attentive, delicious breakfast will definitely book again on our next trip. It was explained prior to when we arrived in regards to road work outside motel and explained to enter via another entrance. Staff very attentive and helpful and we liked our room very much
"Friendly staff and comfortable room!"
The staff made everything so easy- checking in, room service and even offering late check out for us. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was gorgeous. The location was really convenient for restaurants, the theatre and the beach are all close by.
"Great Motor Inn, Great location."
Enjoyed four nights stay here whilst visiting Warrnambool. Spotlessly clean & well maintained rooms with plenty of amenities. Very comfortable. Staff very friendly. Location is very central, an easy walk into town or to the beach. All the staff are very friendly including the owners Raj and Bronwen. Nothing is too much trouble.
"Certainly had a Great Good Olde Merry Time!"
Enjoyed two nights stay here whilst visiting Warrnambool. Spotlessly clean & well maintained rooms with plenty of amenities. Comfortable bedding with fresh linen. Great internet reception & speed. Great location close to main town centre as well as just across from Flagstaff Hill. Food at Clovelly was exceptional. Highly recommend this place.
"seriously .... how good is the Olde Maritime !!!!!"
We spent 4 nights here for the May Racing Carnival & we cannot fault a thing. Exceptionally clean & daily serviced with fresh towels, etc. Very comfortable beds & lounge/dining. The kitchen - laundry - bathroom - fully equipped with everything you need. Within walking distance to the town & many other tourist attractions. The Restaurant offers beautiful meals & the bar has all you need for that relaxing drink & chat. All the staff are very friendly & capable in their roles and owners Raj & Bronwyn are the "icing on the cake" - with their warm & welcoming hospitality prowess. Already booked in for same time next year :-) ... Loved it !
"Maritime - Great Time "
Four of us stayed in a two bedroom apartment during the May race carnival. Lovely accommodation. Spotlessly clean rooms. Very comfortable with everything you need. Great beds, pillows & linen. Location is very central, an easy walk into town or to the beach. All the staff are very friendly including the owners Raj and Bronwen. Nothing is too much trouble. Very warm and cosy bar to enjoy an after race drink. The food at the onsite restaurant- Clovelly - is also great with a good local wine list. Can't wait to come back next year
"Fantastic Family Accommodation"
The 2 bedroom family apartment was actually a full size, stand alone unit. Great layout, modern decor and appliances. The beds were soooo comfy! Awesome location perfectly positioned between town & shopping and the park/beach precinct. Would definitely stay again.
"Stay in Warrnambool"
We spent 5 nights at this Motor Inn. We booked the Deluxe spa suite in the Lighthouse section. It was very comfortable and quiet, The room was a good size. We did not have a problem but you do have to go up 3 flights of stairs. We found the top floor very nice and homely.
"comfortable and friendly"
The Room was comfortable, spacious & clean. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Have stayed in a variety of rooms here over the years, all have been nice. Only a minute from the main street and easy access to the park and water.
"Excellentstay"
Excellent staff at reception on seeing we were aged, changed our room to a ground floor room. Room was very spacious, tidy & comfortable. Easy parking outside to the entrance to our room. Would recommend
"Fantastic staff and great location "
What a gem of a place to stay whilst in Warrnambool. Motel style accommodation with varying room types. We had a deluxe spa room and it was clean, large and spacious. Liked the added bonus of some Foxtel channels. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and we received outstanding customer service from the front desk and from the server at breakky. I forgot your names sorry!! Our bed was a tad too firm for what we are used to but it did not detract from the stay. We had a weekend away and encountered friendly and hospitable people/staff everywhere we went. Great spot for a getaway and we will definitely be back to both this motel and the area again soon.
"Handy location"
Stayed here when visiting properties in the area - easy to find and close to all amenities. Walking distance to cafes, restaurants and shops. Bedroom was clean and well equipped. Restaurant and bar added bonus with good breakfast. Plenty of parking
"Very Comfortable"
A great place to stay for our weekend away with very friendly staff and great amenities. The venue is convenient, close to shops, playground and beach. Highly recommend the Flagstaff museum across the road.
"Nice and clean"
Had a very comfortable stay. Great breakfast...friendly staff. Highly recommend. Location terrific... food great... bed was comfy. I recommend for anyone visiting Warrnambool to check it out. Price also very reasonable compared to other similar places
"Sherry C"
A great place to stay! Raj and the staff couldn't have been more pleasant or accommodating. A very comfortable night after a great meal with extended family in the adjoining Clovely restaurant. Will definitely stay there again!
"Central Hotel"
We had a very enjoyable time and found the hotel central to Flagstaff Hill, shops and driving to other places of interest. The owner and the staff were very friendly and nothing was a trouble. We stayed in the Heritage Site Rooms which were comfortable but not upmarket which was to be expected. Breakfast was included a wide variety but did not include tea or coffee in the package which was unexpected. Certainly would recommend this hotel.
"A nice break!"
The motel is very clean and comfortable and the staff extremely friendly and polite, our only annoyance was that we booked our accommodation to include breakfast - however we found that we had to pay for tea and coffee - this was not explained at the time of booking and we would have thought that it would be a natural inclusion with breakfast. We would recommend this place to anyone and would go back again, but I would be smarter next time and question the extra cost of tea and coffee with breakfast.
"Fabulous!!"
This was our third stayed with Best Western Olde Maritime Inn. I've not look for other accommodation in Warrnambool since our first time with Olde Maritime. Room was clean, comfortable, relaxing. Great and convenient location. Clovelly Restaurant on site was great. Raj and his team are very friendly and helpful.
"Fantastic Hotel in Great Location, Attentive Staff, Spotlessly Clean"
A last minute booking for a camping traveller to get out of the rain and cold. The manager was very personable. Hotel room spacious, the bed and pillows perfect. The room was spotless, from crisp white sheets right through to the fan cover in the bathroom ceiling. Thank you.
"A place to remember and return to : 4.5 stars"
Please note my rating is 4.5 - but TripAdvisor does not give you the option to do this. The Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn is under the direction of the formidable and bubbly Raj and knowledgable Brownyn - who always check in to see how you are, even when dining - lovely personalised treatment. I can rarely write that ALL the staff I encounter are friendly, obliging and full of local tips and hints - but they are here!!! A shout out to Emma, Max, Georgia and Ebony - your enthusiasm is an asset to the BWOMMI. Housekeeping - their attention to the little things reminded me of a time where staff left notes and goodies in the rooms welcoming guests. Easter eggs, a bunny peg and a note - made for an extra special arrival. Their job is so much harder due to COVID cleaning regulations - so make sure to thank them. The motor inn is centrally located to the shopping district and tourist attractions. I strongly recommend having a car/bike to reach the tourist areas, or take a leisurely walk into town, if able. There is a selection of basic rooms, leading to small apartments, no set carpark space, and shared with locals who dine at the restaurant. My accommodation [Room 10] was a basic room, easily enough for a couple or one. The Bed/Sleeping Quality -.5 A queen with industrial-strength sheets, separated by a woollen blanket and sturdy pillows - enough to keep you quite warm on colder nights. The mattress's right side clearly had been slept in the most, so the left was my choice. If you are a light sleeper, the soundproofing isn't the best, and people coming and going from the carpark can make it difficult to stay asleep. Australia is known for a vast array of insects, so spraying your room once you arrive is recommended as a precaution [NOTE: I do that everywhere I go] - they have a spray in the cupboard if you don't have your own. The Bathroom: Had been newly renovated with a shower, toilet and basin. It is classy and minimalistic - many of the usual amenities are found in the draws, leaving you space for your items - perfect set up. The water pressure is great, water is drinkable, and the aircon works well to quickly heat/cool the small space. Other Amenities: The fridge is big enough to house a few of your items [for example, long-life milk, small tubs of fruit and cans of fish], and there is a small freezer too - great for travel ice packs. The usual TV, tea and coffee making items, iron, board, spare bedding were there. A small table and two chairs were enough for a workbench or place to sit and have a tea/snack. There is plenty of room to store cases etc., around the room or in the cupboard. Gym/Laundry services: I wasn't aware of the gym being operational at this time, so you would need to check. The laundry service with dryers run on a token system - 1 token = 30minutes. A bag of washing powder is $4, and I am still using some of it weeks later. They also have a place to store bikes. The Clovelly Restaurant: This has had a bit of a facelift during the lockdown and is well set out for patrons to be socially distanced. The new menu, launched recently, gives you abundant choices that cater to different palates and dietary needs. [More about the food in another review]. They have breakfast service, and all menu items can also be ordered as room service. Be sure to check out their daily specials too. I will also mention the extremely talented Chefs Johnny and Bryce plus their apprentice Mario - your attention to detail and willingness to listen to feedback is commendable and appreciated. The new menu, IMHO, is a taste sensation. Next to the restaurant is the bar and a social area - great to do some work, read, or drink with mates. Their wifi is free, reliable and fast. Perfect for families and young couples, overnight stays or a beach getaway. This place is proof that positive hospitality and interaction goes a long way to impress the guests - thank you.
"Beautiful town and Outstanding Motel"
Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms. Motel was close to beach with plenty of parking. Had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and both meals exceeded our expectations. Raj and his team were very accommodating and friendly. Everyone was eager to help and always had a smile on their face.
"An unplanned Visit"
Due to a vehicle breakdown overnight accommodation was required which finished up lasting 3 nights. The rooms are spacious and are serviced daily. The staff were excellent in their assistance to us for the entire stay. A full cooked breakfast was able to be included at a very reasonable cost. A great location with ample parking for all guests.
"Fantastic place in a beautiful city"
They were extremely accommodating and allowed us to check in early (book direct). We got to BW one hour early and we didn't wanna wait. So this was a big plus. The service was exceptional as well. Amazing place great location awesome hosts and friendly staff, Would definitely send a friend there. .. you cant go wrong!!!
"Wonderful relaxing weekend"
Stayed in Heritage room 22 which consisted of large bedroom, spacious modern bathroom and sitting room with table for two by a fireplace (no fire), jug, toaster and fridge. Tea, coffee, decaf and biscuits supplied and fresh milk on arrival. Bed was really comfortable and rooms very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ate in the restaurant with friends and we were all very pleased with our excellent meals. Walking distance to main street and literally across the road from the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village. Felt very safe as a solo traveler. Will definitely stay here on my next visit to Warrnambool
"Thoroughly Recommended!"
We have stayed here on several occasions and it has never disappointed us , the staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are well maintained and very clean. The breakfasts we had as part of the package were excellent .
"Great place to stay "
Very comfortable and spacious room lovely bedding with soft sheets and comfy pillows good bathroom with bath & separate shower Staff so friendly & accomodating Food in restaurant good & enjoyed breakfast Lovely location
"Great stay"
This is a very quiet motel with large comfortable rooms. Restaurant was closed but we had a drink in the lovely bar area. The motel was close walking distance to the local RSL club where we had a meal. Would stay here again.
"Excellent stay at this property."
The manager and receptionist welcomed us warmly and advised us of the services they provide. All of the staff members we came into contact with were friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious very well appointed with TV, very good wifi, microwave oven coffee tea and milk. The extra large double bed was comfortable and remade daily. The property is well situated directly opposite the ocean and is a short walking distance from shops and restaurants. We found all aspects of the property excellent and we will certainly return in the future.
"Highly recommend"
We felt very welcome at the Olde Maratime and I would have to say that it was one of the best stays in a hotel I have ever experienced. The whole building was lovely and clean and tastefully decorated. Staff were welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home.
"GREAT PLACE"
Well, we have been to the Olde Maritime Inn once before it was a great place to base our trips around we liked it so much we went back this time and Raj has still got the best place to stay in Warrnambool very clean and staff very helpful and that makes it a great holiday destination when you have no problems with where you are staying, takes a lot of stress of your vacation.
"Exceptional"
Aesthetically historic beauty, well located within walking distance to the beach and everything else and welcomed by wonderful staff. Lovely clean, spacious rooms, great food in the restaurant and very pleasant atmosphere. What more can you ask for?!
"Best Western Olde Maritime Motel in Warrnambool"
Excellent staff, friendly and courteous, meals were timely and delicious. I requested a change of a breakfast item and the staff and chef were more than happy to help me. Nothing was a problem for staff. Nice room with everything I needed.
"Great hotel for a affordable price"
Best hotel for a affordable price in warrnambool. Free wifi, early check-in and late check-out. Clean and tidy large room. staff was amazing. only drawback is the Shower room which is bit tiny. Apart from that everything else was perfect. Would love to go back again. Highly recommended !!
"Great long weekend away"
We stayed a wonderful 3 nights here and couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! We ordered room service a few meals and it was great. The location was perfect to explore everything warrnambool has to offer. Thank you for having us, we will be back!
"Great place to stay in Warrnambool"
This is my preferred motel in Warrnambool (after having tried a couple others). While the decor is a bit old-fashioned, it was clean and very comfortable and spacious too. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
"Relax and Enjoy"
We have stayed here on several occasions now and would not bother going anywhere else. The staff are most welcoming and service is excellent. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. RSL is in walking distance or the dining room has excellent meals for your enjoyment.
"Wonderful Motel ,with a very organised and friendly staff at an affordable price."
My wife and I stayed only 1 night on our way along the great ocean road whilst visiting from Qld. We had a great experience thanks to staff who were all fantastic. The room was clean modern and spacious, whilst the position of the motel is perfect and central. Nothing was a problem for the staff and we even received 3 different morning newspapers on the morning of departure. Breakfast delivered to our room was also fantastic. Congratulations to Management and staff, you deserve 10/10. We will try to get back soon!
"Not for the disabled "
Due to back surgery I have now a condition called drop foot in my left leg . Which means I need some space for showering and the toilet . This Motor in offers great service with friendly helpful staff . The down side is it does not offer disabled options . I would recommend this establishment if you are able bodied and not on the large size .
"Relaxing break away"
Comfortable clean rooms, handy location. Car park was full so a bit of a squeeze to park but nice and quite for the time we stayed. Lovely area to walk around and friendly staff. Décor a bit tired but otherwise fine.
"Fantastic, will be staying here again"
Fantastic room, was very neat and tidy Beautiful rib eye steak from the restaurant for inner and a great "Big Breakfast" in the morning. Great service from reception and waiting staff I will definitely be staying here again
"Charming, clean and convenient"
Spacious, well laid out room, with all amenities provided. Room decor was charming with everything clean to a very good standard. Staff at reception are very efficient, friendly and helpful. The motel is located across from the Maritime museum. It is also a short, pleasant walk to the main shops and restaurants. Very good value for money and would definitely choose to stay here again if visiting Warrnambool. Disliked · Nothing not to like. If being really picky the only thing is that the bathroom could do with a little bit of updating.
"Clean and comfortable"
Arrived and was checked in by Raj who was very welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable which was much appreciated in these times. The bed was comfortable which is also great when away from home. All the staff were very friendly and helpful which is refreshing compared to some of the places we have stayed over the years. Breakfast was very tasty and filling. Ate dinner there on the Saturday night which was well worth staying in for. Thank you for your great hospitality and comfortable stay. Would recommend to stay and would go back.
"Week Away"
Was very impressed with the hospitality. All Staff were amazing & went out of their way to help you in any way. Room was clean, roomy & comfortable. The Restaurant is of high quality, great food & service. I would recommend the Olde Maritime to anyone & would definitely go back again. Thank you to the Manager & all the staff.
"Fantastic stay"
As always, a lovely relaxing stay at olde maritime. Raj and his staff are wonderful and friendly and always doing whatever they can to make our stay a comfortable one. The room was very clean and comfy. We will be back.
"One Night Stay"
Booked in on Monday afternoon and was greeted with a smile well under her mask I guess there was one. I found the room to be well cleaned and well appointed. I booked for dinner and found the food and choices well done, along with a good wine list.
"Great weekend away"
We stayed in one of the lighthouse suites for the weekend. The room was beautiful, staff were very pleasant and helpful. Ate a few meals at the Clovelly restaurant which were all delicious and again fabulous service. Highly recommended.
"Relief from Lockdown"
Hotel rooms a little dated but clean and comfortable. The staff are some of the very best I have ever met in my travels, nothing was too much trouble. Bar and Restaurnt excellent. Great Stay. Would highly recommend
"Warrnambool 2021"
A great place to stay , the staff are all extremely friendly and very accommodating , the rooms are super clean , the location is perfect - it is so close to town so you can walk to most places ! We will be back next year
"A great stay"
We booked premium Queen room, this was lovely and clean. The bed was really comfortable, loved that there was USB power point as I'd forgotten to pack the plug! Great location, easy to walk to town and beach.
"Fantastic"
Great room, great restaurant, great service. Raj is a human dynamo. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and breakfast the next morning. We will be back when next in Warrnambool.
"Great place to stay."
Great position to access all of Warrnambools many attractions. Very clean with a comfy bed. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a stay at this property. A very short walk to the Bowls club for an inexpensive meal.
"Amazing service"
2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our family stay, immaculately clean with everything you could need. Staff were beyond polite and accommodating including housekeeping staff, nothing was to much trouble. It's the best location, we walked everywhere and the park is right across the road for the kids. Would 100% recommend to stay here!
"Great stay, great room, great staff"
Stayed here for 3 nights - room was great, very clean and spacious, staff were very welcoming and friendly, restaurant and breakfast food all very good - would definitely stay here again and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
"Great everything"
Great location, no noise at night, great bathroom and comfortable bed. Restuarnt choice was perfect and good wine list. Very close to awesome walks in several directions especiall teh sand dunes walk to teh Hopkins River and abck early in teh morning. After a busy few days seeing customers the restuarant and bar were a nice oasis.
"Great seaside holiday."
Happy with accommodation in every way. Walking distance to ocean & city centre. Very clean, genuinely friendly staff always willing to help; and would do extra, happily. Room service was also great. Would stay again.
"Lovely Family apartment with all u need - perfect!"
We recently stayed for 5 days in a Family apartment. I booked it late so wasn't expecting much, but the apartment exceeded my expectations. The apartment had everything we needed & was very clean & perfect for our stay. Having a kitchen with everything was perfect for a family stay. The location is right in the centre of town, walking distance to everything. The service at the hotel was excellent. We had a wonderful stay & would definitely recommend this accomodation to anyone.
"Great Place to Stay"
It was a great place to stay. We had 2 rooms, my parents were in the Spa room upstairs (highly recommend them), very clean and the staff very friendly and pleasant. The Clovely Restaurant has amazing food. Need to try their Sticky Date Pudding. Conveniently located, highly recommend.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello SheshanJ1, Thank you so much for your kind review. We loved having you and your parents stay with us. Our housekeeping staff are fantastic and always make sure our rooms are spotless. Thank you too for mentioning Clovelly Restaurant! I agree that the Sticky Date Pudding is amazing. We hope to see you again soon.
"Perfect location, great to access all places close by. Highly recommend!"
Great size room with a comfortable bed. Room was quiet considering the amount of street traffic. Restaurant food was amazing, as was both room service and in restaurant breakfast. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent. Check in/out very fast and efficient. Highly recommend for families, couples or singles. We will definitely stay there again!
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

See you soon!
"Highly recommend"
A wonderful, comfortable stay with a great location with great value. Staff are amazing and hospitable. Walking distance to the main shops and the beach. The room had everything we need. Highly recommend having dinner at the restaurant. Definitely will come back to stay next time we visit.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello LesLeisha! It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us and we cannot wait for you to come visit again soon. Thank you for mentioning our restaurant Clovelly. Our chefs and wait staff are amazing and we are very proud of all their hard work. I think we have the perfect location to explore all that Warrnambool has to offer. We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a wonderful review for us. See you soon!
"Perfect Location, Ideal accommodation "
We were fortunate enough to secure a booking at the Old Maritime, the opportunity of a stay enabled our family to completely relax. Being located close to town and the foreshore meant we were able to enjoy the local fooderies and the beach all within walking distance. Our accommodation was clean, the staff as is typical of regional locations...very friendly. Can highly recommend
"Comfortable, Convenient Classic"
Located in a great part of town within walking distance of open spaces and the shoreline, the rooms were well appointed for our 5 day stay. The rooms themselves have been well maintained, with clean modern bathrooms, though an extra chair for 2 would have been handy. The restaurant provided good options for breakfast and dinner. Service during meals was quick and efficient, even in busier times. The staff were always available and very helpful when needed, and a nice touch that they remembered previous orders and made you feel like they knew you well. Would be happy to stay again
"Clean, neat tidy. Very friendly staff"
This is a perfect spot for a short stay. I stayed a week. Rooms big enough have main essentials. Shower, bathroom modern. Rooms very clean and serviced professionally. Breakfast has varied menu. All staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Would stay again.
"Great short getaway "
We stayed here for 2 nights and the motel is absolutely beautiful, great location, very clean and updated rooms, and the staff were always friendly and helpful, very well priced, we got the breakfast included which was great value for money and the breakfasts were very delicious, highly recommended, thanks guys...
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you SDSCLOG, We really appreciate you taking the time to write such a lovely review for us. Adam our breakfast chef is amazing and he is thrilled that you enjoyed our food. So happy you had a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
"Great property!"
This was my third stay at this wonderful property. As I was travelling with two others, I opted for the two bedroom apartment which turned out to be a fully appointed cottage. Fabulous! My absolute go to in Warrnambool. Congratulations to Raj and crew!
"Completely not worth it"
It was the biggest disappointment for me and my wife. Everything was very old except bathroom. Aircon was very old and damaged, fridge had a terrible smell, bed was uncomfortable. Service was great but it didn't change general mood after we saw the room.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello 401ilyal, We thank you for addressing these concerns with us. Currently we are replacing the carpet in the room you stayed in and are waiting for parts to arrive to fix the aircon. Housekeeping have been asked to limit the use of vanilla fridge cleaner which was not to your liking. I have also had a look at the bed in that room and will replace the mattress when I can. We hope to have the chance to deliver a better service to you and your wife if you should come to Warrnambool again.
"Room well presented"
The room was well presented and clean. The carpet was frayed on one join. We found the bathroom although modern very small and felt cramped when in there. Foxtel is included free of charge but would be better with sports channels instead of the footy channel out of season
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Gary296, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. I have looked at the room you stayed in and will repair the carpet. We appreciate your suggestion for Foxtel as well and will look into our channel options. We have many different room types available. We have many different room types available and will reccommend a larger room for yourself the next time you stay. Thank you again.
"Clean room, great location!"
The location of the inn was fantastic! In the middle of Warrnambool and close by to shops and attractions. The inn itself was perfectly sized for my friend and I. The bed was comfy, the room was spotless, the Tv was big and the shower pressure was pleasantly strong.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello EmilyJ138, Thank you so much for your excellent review. I think we have the perfect location to explore all that Warrnambool has to offer. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Outstanding Stay"
You cannot get any better with this location staying at BW Olde Maritime Motor Inn. It's at the doorstep of family friendly Lake Pertobe, the beach, motorboats, minigolf, bike paths and more! Within walking distance to fish n chips, bowling/arcade centre and the main strip of Liebig St where all the supermarkets, shops, dept. stores and restaurants are located! Washer/Dryer facilities were handy to have for longer stays and they have a small gym equipped with shower and toilet for the fitness fanatics! Rooms were also serviced daily. We were treated like "Kings" with their service, hospitality, professionalism and the feeling of being a valued guest. Special thanks to Courtney, Emma and the lady with the glasses from Tasmania who took our breakfast order during our stay who made us feel very comfortable, took the time to chat with us and entertained our son Jayden during our stay. Btw, the breakfast we had was exceptional! Thankyou also to Raj the owner for the complimentary baby chino which our son also enjoyed. It's service like this which makes for a wonderful holiday experience. Wished we could've stayed longer and we will definitely come back!
"Wonderful staff & very clean room"
Courtney was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was extremely helpful & fulfilled all my requests without hesitation on a short notice booking. I requested a downstairs room, with a spa, toaster & microwave. Courtney also was very obliging & prompt to bring some plates, bowls & cutlery to my room when I requested. The room itself was very clean, quite spacious & in a nice quiet downstairs corner with a rear small garden area. There was a nice corner spa & a good size TV. It was a shame that there wasn't a king size bed in the room. In my personal opinion I found the bed to be a little bit to firm for my liking. It would be nicer if there was a pillow/comfort/memory-foam style topper/overlay option available to put on the mattress.
"Warrnambool a great family friendly place to holiday"
An easy stay with a young family. Beds were very comfortable and the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed the big bath & self contained unit to live comfortably as if we were still home. Very clean and well maintained. Thank you again Raj for making an easy holiday season for us from South Australia.
"Great getaway "
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Great location and close to everything! Our room was very spacious and clean with a nice view outside. Excellent customer service, so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come again!
"Simply terrific "
All in all everything was just terrific. Location Pricing Bathroom Staff was the Cherry on top of everything else. Smiling faces all around. Although premium twin room was good but I feel that I should've gone for king room for more luxury. But then again, the price point completely justified the premium twin room.
"Fantastic place to stay"
Excellent customer service, very friendly & super helpful. Great location, close to the beach & city centre. The rooms are comfortable & clean, facilities are great. Warnambool is amazing, so much to see & do
"Summer Holiday"
Thankyou so much to Raj and Bronwyn who offered some extra assistance during my stay at this awesome Hotel. Thank you also to the staff especially Courtney for her professional manner and friendly service. All staff were very helpful and helped me out with what ever I had asked for. I enjoyed it so much I arranged to stay an extra night. The accommodation and location will not disappoint. A lovely central location to enjoy Victoria's coast
"A short stay at Warrnambool"
Exceptionally courteous & helpful staff made this a very relaxing and enjoyable couple of days. Couldn't fault the room or the breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Have stayed here before and will no doubt return. Keep up the great work Raj and staff
"one night stay"
My sister booked this for me as she lives in in area. It was very clean and new with very friendly staff and a nice breakfast. I would stay here again. recommended. This site wants me to submit a 200 character minimum review, so here is the extra words it needs, what a load of ....
"Excellent stay"
The hotel is well located, within easy walking distance from restaurants, beach and park. It was clean and spacious and the staff were very friendly. Well worth a visit next time you are in Warrnambool.
"Great accomodation"
We so enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly, the accommodation great. The location was quiet and near attractions and city centre. The bed was very comfortable.Very pleased to have stayed here.
"Great room, service and restaurant but does not cater well for self caterers."
Very good overall experience but should cater better for people self-catering for breakfast by providing bowls and spoons in addition to the toaster, plate and knife. I now need to fill up with extra typing to meet the ridiculous requirement for at least 200 characters for ths review.
"."
Nice room and great location, really nice food and very friendly staff. They went out of their way to acknowledge my partner's birthday, and provided great advice for checking out local attractions and wineries.
"Classic and Elegant"
My wife and I recently spent two nights at Olde Maritime in Warrnambool and we were delighted with every aspect of that stay. The room and facilities were fastidiously clean, including the quite powerful spa tub. A special call out to our wonderful host, Raj, and his unfailing ability to do those so many seemingly small things that really matter. Use his office for a quick work task? No problems at all mate. Have some more fresh juice and coffee with that amazing cooked breakfast? Have at it. And anything nearby? Try Flagstaff Hill (museum and century village) literally right across the road, arguably Warrnambool's most incredible attraction. As well, a brisk five minute walk had us in the heart of the CBD. We will soon be visiting Raj and his wonderful inn again hopefully early next year.
"Wonderful accommodation, modern furnishings/updates, clean and exceptional staff"
Stayed overnight for a business trip. Apartment was wonderful. The whole complex had been repainted and refurbished. Staff were so friendly. Beachside and close to everything. Restaurant was a great atmosphere and very nice meals with a range of options. The staff (ALL) were exceptional and made us feel very welcome. Highly affordable. We only stayed for one night for business travel, but the Apartment would definitely be something we would use for family or extended stay in such a beautiful town and coastal region.
"Family get away"
We had a great few days at the Best Western Olde Maritime in Warrnambool. Staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant also had very delicious food and a very good sticky date pudding:-) Overall a great accommodation, great location to a walking distance playground ( in case you have kids) and we would go again.
"Excellent"
Enjoyed our stay, just one night but the room was very comfortable, great bathroom with a really good shower, lovely staff and an excellent breakfast. Appreciated the very flexible booking arrangements and the upgrade to a premium room. Will definitely be returning!
"Great location, room finishing, fittings and restaurant, also owners."
Even small rooms (i.e. standard) are well appointed; the park close by and locations near everything you want to see or drive to in Warrnambool and surrounds. Deborah and Raj make you feel like on e of the their family. Restaurant is superb.
"Wonderful Ex5"
Our 4 night stay at this beautiful, charming Motor Inn was delightful. It was clean, comfortable, convenient, safe and with easy access to everything. Nothing was difficult or hard for the staff and management. The breakfasts was sumptuous and generous. The menu at their Restaurant well priced and the food delicious. I highly recommend this place.
"Nice but could be better"
The room was visually very nice and clean but functionally was pretty mediocre. I had quite a sore neck from the bed and pillows, both are quite soft and unsupportive. Bathroom is very small, kept hitting elbows on the wall/shower door whilst getting dressed. Mini fridge was terrible, on the coldest setting it was barely cooling my water and everything melted in the freezer. The door needed better sound proofing. A group of men decided to drink and smoke outside my room until midnight and I could hear every word and smell their cigarettes. The breakfast was nice but expensive. Receptionists didn't wear masks. It was a nice location though, 10min walk to beach and 5 mins to town centre which is handy cause everywhere is pay parking. Overall I probably wouldn't stay there again but it was nice enough for a few nights.
"Absolutely lovely"
Stayed for 3 nights for leisure. Clean, tidy and generous room and fantastic price. Very simple online booking. Perfect greeting at the front desk on check-in. Super simple check-out. Good quality restaurant (used for dinner) attached with attentive staff and great food. Walking distance to Warrnambool CBD, parks and beach.
"Fantastic service"
The people are absolutely lovely. They went out of their way to help us when I messed up our original booking. The room was very clean. They made us feel super welcome and the breakfast was delicious.
"Great service "

"Excellent Place To Stay"

"TWO away"
I have never been able to say this before and it is that we had the best ever room and a view to die for as for breakfast couldn't wait to eat it, in fact, all the staff are helpful and pleasent.we will be back
"Short family stay"
Lovely, centrally located hotel. Very clean and good facilities. The staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. We ordered dinner in the room from the hotel restaurant; the food was delicious. I would definitely stay again!
"Isolation getaway"
Great location, professional team , Bright and clean rooms, fine local food at Clovelly restaurant, Raj and family operate a friendly service for travellers. Cocktails are catered for at the bar. Julie and Callum
"Overnight stay as things open up after Covid"
Restaurant just recently reopened. Excellent food and wine. Because of seating limits you can get room service for dinner and breakfast at no extra charge. Our spa room was very comfortable but quite dark as it was below street level.
"Love this place"
Highly recommend staying here, I stayed for two weeks for work. The rooms are quite nice, the restaurant is lovely. Delicious food, especially the breakfasts and the service is amazing, nothing was too much trouble.
"Charming Owner"
Lovely motel with charming owner Raj. A very modern room with comfortable bed. Location excellent within walking distance to shops, beach and Lake Pertobe Playground. We celebrated a 70th birthday in the Clovelly Restaurant belonging to the motel. Superb food, superb service and a brilliant Surf and Turf Steak, highly recommend. Thank you Raj for a super stay and night.
"Staff were most attentive especially a young male waiter in the dinning room."
Staff were very friendly and courteous. Restaurant Menu was limited as was breakfast especially for a vegan but would book for a return visit despite this. Car parks were not allocated by room number and parking was very tight.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi penelopei2020, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. We are very proud of the fantastic job our staff do. Hopefully when restrictions lift and more people are able to dine in we can look to expand our menu and include more options for our vegan and vegetarian customers. We look forward to being able to spoil you with choice soon.
"Great Stay!"
Lovely staff, great location where it's quiet but still close to town, clean room and both the restaurant and room service were delicious. I've stayed here a few times and wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
"Fantastic stay."
This was our 10th stay at olde maritimeand again we were not disappointed. The room was very comfortable, service was excellent and breakfast brought to our room each morning was very enjoyable. Compliments to Raj, Brown and staff. We will be back in February.
"Time away"
Room up to their usual standard. Room well set up for sleeping. Breakfast rates high as usual. Will recommend this accommodation to any one considering a trip to Warrnambool. Close to main street shopping.

Hello ianmcd2015, We really appreciate you and your wife's continued support for us. Whenever we see your names come up in our arrivals we are excited to see you again! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us. Looking forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon.
"Overnight Work"
Super comfortable room with modern facilities. Delicious menu making choice hard but wasn't disappointed - beautiful. No outside noise and super friendly management and staff - definitely will be back!
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thank you mksg67! Our staff will be thrilled that they made your stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We are very proud of our restaurant Clovelly and are looking forward to expanding the menu even more once restrictions have eased. Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We look forward to seeing you the next time you are in Warrnambool.
"We Loved it!!!"
We just had 2 nights here and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Raj , Bronwyn and staff could not have been more helpful. The room we had was very clean and comfortable. We were very excited to be able to get away in these covid times. The location is perfect as it is a short walk to main shopping area and dining. They do not open their restaurant on Sunday nights but book a restaurant for us a short walk away which didnt disappoint. Next night we ate dinner in the motel dining room, nothing could be faulted from the cold beer to start, then a fantastic meal & wine. We will be back just to go to the restaurant.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello Belnic, We are absolutely thrilled that you enjoyed not only our motel but Clovelly restaurant as well! I think our location is perfect to explore all that Warrnambool has to offer within a short walk. When restrictions are lifted we will be able to open our restaurant 7 days a week so hopefully not too much longer. As the weather warms up we look forward to you returning and enjoying another ice cold beer with us. Thank you so much for staying and for taking the time to write a review for us. We really appreciate it. See you next time!
"Excellent service and restaurant "
We stayed here years ago and remember a very comfortable, clean and perfectly positioned hotel. It is still all these things and more. Raj Patel ensures excellent service and a super comfortable stay. Our adult daughters and my husband and I had two very lovely rooms side by side, with modern recently renovated bathrooms complete with rain showers. We enjoyed a delicious room service dinner, a perfect solution to the challenges of getting restaurant bookings during COVID restrictions. The room service was prompt, fresh and hot. Seafood lovers are well catered for and I hope in future there may be more substantial vegetarian options. We would recommend booking this hotel direct and booking a table near the open fire in the restaurant.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hello Claires553! Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We really cannot thank you enough. It was an absolute pleasure having you and your family stay with us. Our staff will be so happy to have made your stay an excellent one. Looking forward to the next time you come down to visit us.
"Fantastic spot to stay"
Fantastic location and views. We stayed in an older room but still very spacious and clean. Beds comfortable and nice pillows/linen. Great friendly service, we were rung and offered an earlier check-in. Highly recommend booking at the restaurant, food is amazing for the cost and would not be out of place in a capital city.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Thankyou bedtimes! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for pointing out our amazing onsite restaurant, Clovelly!

Thank you again for taking the time to write such a positive review and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
"Loved it"
It's the 1st time I had stayed here and understand why our organisation keeps coming back. Raj & Courtney are both friendly & professional. Offering great customer service! Due to covid & travelling alone I opted for room service.... The food is amazing. The room was clean, neat & comfortable. I highly recommend staying here. I will be back for a “holiday visit” one day soon!

They work really hard to ensure our guests have the best possible expierience and it means alot to them to receive such nice feedback. Looking forward to seeing you agian soon.
"Family room lovely"
We stayed as a family group of four. The location is perfect, central and easy access to everything. The room was spacious and lovely with comfortable beds, table and chairs and still room to move around. I was grateful for the table and chairs and the cutlery / crockery you have in the room. The room was clean and the entire place neat and tidy. We could see the ocean from our window which was an unexpected bonus.
Raj Patel, Owner at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

The accommodation and service were second to none. We were so absolutely impressed with the attention to detail, the cleanliness of the entire apartment and the friendly and professional nature of the staff. It made our family holiday so peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you.

"Not all Best Westerns are the same....."
You could be forgiven to think that all Best Westerns are the same. But the differentiator with any form of hospitality is service and being made to feel at home. The Best Western Olde Maritime has both these vital ingredients in abundance. From the time we rang to make a short notice reservation through to the prompt email we received with our copy of the invoice, Courtney looked after us superbly. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent with great local produce. Breakfast in our spacious and warm room was prompt and delicious. Thanks team great stay.
Raj Patel, Marketing at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Kahuna10, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely and positive review. Our team prides itself on looking after everyone as if they were family.

"Home away from Home"
welcoming friendly Staff and very comfortable Bed and Room ,Restaurant with a separate Bar offers a great cross section of both Food and Wine. all this and close to Beach shops and fabulous Art Gallery

Thank you so much for your review. We really apprieciate you taking the time to give us such positive feedback. Our restaurant prides itself on selecting the best local produce we can get our hands on and we are so happy you enjoyed it. We hope to see you again soon. There are a couple of lesser known Art Galleries in town we would be happy to tell you all about. I am sure you would love them too!
"Always an excellent stay!"
I visit frequently for work and I have always had a wonderful stay. The team have exceptional service, the food is delicious, check in/out is fast and the rooms are wonderfully clean and modern. A great place to stay!

"Great location and professional staff"
The Olde Maritime Inn is well located to walk to restaurants, shops and the beach. The staff are professional and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Our room was spacious, light open. We were pleased that we upgraded to a spa room.
Raj Patel, Marketing at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi nicho_mmm, We really appreciate you taking the time to review your stay! We are so happy our brilliant location made a great impression on you. Our Deluxe Spa rooms are definitely a favourite. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Cheers!
"Great overnight stay "
Booked to stay for a quick overnight to see if we could catch some whales in Warrnambool (we didn't!) Arriving at the hotel, we entered via an automatic door; great, no contact required, reception had paper copies of everything required and a hospital type room service breakfast menu was available for us to take away and complete. Very simple and easy! Sign posts everywhere displaying how many people can be in each area. Room was a little cold, heated blankets on the bed were there but didn't work, no great issue as wasn't there long. Air con unit blew heat through no problem. Table and chairs for eating in room, although no sanitizer in room there was hand wash lotion, just as good. Had drinks in the bar, served at our table, from a distance and again, given a paper menu. Watched staff wipe down tables and chairs after each person left, not just briefly but really well. Good effort team! Great breakfast, good value, good stay in difficult times, will be back!

"A COVID getaway "
We spent a lovely night in Warrnambool at the Olde Maritime Motor In. Booked direct after much research, based on location and reviews read on Trip Advisor. Booked a queen room in the original building. Booking was easy and efficient. Check in great, quick , friendly and less than five minutes. Room was great, large and well appointed. Great bed , comfy pillows and excellent bathroom. Location is a plus for this place really easy walk into town and easy walk to Lake Petrobe. Very quiet so had a great nights sleep. Would return the staff excellent and truly well priced.
Raj Patel, Marketing at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Elizabethtaylor59, We would like to thank you for not only staying with us, but for also choosing the cheapest rate by booking direct. We are stoked you enjoyed our facilities and got the most out of our location. Our staff are our biggest asset and they will be very happy when they see your review. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers!
"Lovely stay"
Clean, warm room. Great location. Comfortable beds. Spacious and good value. The host was very accommodating. Covid restrictions meant we couldn't try the breakfast buffet and didn't use the restaurant, though you could with prior booking. Room was a bit dark. Go for upstairs room.
"Excellent location, staff, food and value for money"
Great hotel in the best spot in Warnambool. Accessible with or without a car. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was only a little more a night than the average hotel rooms and less than some other hotel rooms in town. We had just stayed at a Big 4 the nights before and the value for money was definitely better at the Best Western. Clean, bright well equipped room. Excellent service and staff. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. A real treat and surprise.
"Friendly service, excellent accommodation, perfect position"
We had a fantastic stay at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn. The staff were were wonderful - friendly and very accommodating. The accommodation was great - modern amenities, spacious rooms, fabulous room service. Terrific breakfast/meals. The motor inn is perfectly positioned for families (opposite Flagstaff Hill, only metres from the Lake Pertobe adventure playground, and minutes from the town centre). We will return.
"What a beauty"
What an awesome motel. Location was fantastic to the main town. Rooms was super clean. Food in restaurant was outstanding. The service when checking in and in the restaurant was the best I have seen in years, even travelling abroad. Congratulations best accommodation and device I have had in a long time. Can't wait to come back
"Continued excellence "
Our 9th visit to both Warrnambool and Best Western Olde Maritime motor inn. The brilliant service from Raj and his staff certainly did not disappoint. We will definitely be back again one day. Fantastic.
"Great Accommodation "
When we walked in the door we were greeted warmly and the friendly service followed. The entire staff whether it be hotel staff or restaurant or the bar are dedicated to making the customers feel welcomed and catering to their needs. The room was comfortable and very clean. We got the superior queen which was reasonably priced. Another $18 got us a bacon and egg, eggs Benedict and 2 flat whites for brekkie. Very good value for the money. Gotta be the best in Warrnambool!
"Quick work visit to Warrnambool"
A quick one night visit to Warrnambool for work. Raj and his team were extremely professional and welcoming. The room was very clean. Meals supplied were also very good. No complaints from me!! I will be back.......
"Good location "
The room was spacious, clean and well equipped in a good location for the centre of town and the heritage centre. The only negative was that the bathroom has no source of heat and was quite cold for our winter visit.
"Absolutely recommend!!"
As always Raj and the team have made our stay easy and pleasant. The room was immaculate! We both had a barramundi at Clovelly. Best meal. Fish was so tender it melted in your mouth. Thank you Raj & team !
"Staff were excellent, meals were very good"
I had to travel during virus restrictions for work. The staff were extremely helpful. The motel is away from the main street so there was no road noise and that made for peaceful sleep. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean.
"Friendly honest and value for money"
From check in to check out nothing was a problem. Keen for a cycle after work so was shown local map and given suggestion for a ride. Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly helpful service. Very nice room service meals from on site restaurant I will be back. Thank you Raj and team.
"After a busy day."
After a busy two days showing two International students the G.O.R. the Olde Maritime was a very comfortable, quiet and clean establishment run by friendly and helpful staff. We will stay there again. Bill and Jenny.
"Great location, wonderful staff, delicious food, clean rooms"
We had an excellent overnight stay with the family. Incredibly clean rooms (we even had a beautiful new bathroom) in a really great location in Warrnambool. The staff were all delightful and breakfast delicious. Will definitely come back
"Book in early"
I always stay at the Olde Maritime for business. Ticks all of the boxes for my needs. Location is great, close to the water and walking distance to shops and cafes. It's always clean and the staff are friendly. Pays to book ahead! I've made the mistake of last minute and had to stay out of town.
"Wonderful stay in Warrnambool "
We loved our weekend getaway here. The room was quiet and warm, the bed very comfortable and the newly renovated bathroom had a great shower. The host Raj was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating of our requests. A particular mention to the chef who catered for our dietary requirements with delicious food. Lots to do in and around Warrnambool
"Best Western Flagstaff Hill"
Great place to stay - staff are always welcoming and check in is a breeze. I always enjoy being able to go for a walk along the beach only a short distance from the Maritime. Covid means I can't use their excellent restaurant for a meal but room service is pretty good!

Wow what a fantastic motel... the check in was fast and the girls at Reception were heaps friendly and couldn't do enough for us. They allowed us to have a late check out free of charge, they put a microwave in our room and the owner even offered to drop me off out of town to pick up my motorhome...The room was modern, clean and the beds were very comfy....Breakfast was beautiful and the perfect portion size....I've stayed at a lot of motels but this was by far the best and friendliest service I've ever received...

"What a find"
Pulling into Warrnambool, very tired after five days on the road, and, luckily, found the Best Western option. Very self contained, value for money, excellent restaurant, fabulous staff, and the location perfect for walks and access to the CBD at the same time. What more can I say other than - do it.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear Chris M, Thank you so much for leaving us such a great review! I am so glad that you had such an enjoyable experience staying with us and wandering around our gorgeous city! See you again soon for another great stay!

Dear Julie B, It is awesome to see that there were so many aspects of your stay that you enjoyed and that you managed to experience all that we have to offer. We really hope that you make it back to see us one day in the future so that you can have another 5* stay! Cheers
"Ideal location in Warrnambool for Flagstaff Hill"
A very warm welcome at check in and later in the Clovelly restaurant. Staff answered all our questions with a smile. The room was fine, you can't wash up unless you use the bathroom sink so we didn't really self cater. The shower was lovely and spacious. We weren't able to leave our vehicle outside the door of our unit which wasn't a problem with our luggage. Nothing to do with the Inn but the other guests who left early in the morning left their car engine running outside whilst loading their car which meant we had a rude awakening.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi there Yordas1, Thank you for the AMAZING review! It's fantastic to see our team being mentioned in so many of our positive reviews! We really hope that you make it back to see us one day in the future. Cheers

"Host with the most"
I am a regular to the Olde Maritime Motor Inn and come back every time. This is due to the friendly staff, cleanliness of the rooms and the bar/restaurant. After a long day of work on road, checking into your room knowing you can get a cold beer and an awesome meal in the restaurant makes the day just that much easier.
"Everything was perfect"
Thank you to Raj and the team for an excellent experience. I recommend the restaurant and the room service breakfast. Great location and spotless comfortable rooms. Quiet and easy to work but would be lovely for a holiday too.
"Perfect for our needs"
We just had a great weekend as a family. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable for our family of four. It helped having bowls and a toaster which helped us have quick breakfasts before heading to the beach. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Warrnambool.

"Reliable clean comfortable accomm for the Folkie"
We have stayed at Old Maritime Motor Inn in March each year for more than 10 years to attend the Port Fairy Folk Festival. PFFF is 25m drive away, Warrnambool is a good option if you don't want to camp and don't want to spend $$$$$ for town accomm, if you were lucky enough to find some. Every year we book the same room and it suits the needs of two couples and a teen perfectly. No complaints, the staff are friendly and always call to confirm arrangements. All the supplies you need are close by and you can always have a meal in one of the main street cafes. Highly recommended.
"Work Visit, made easy"
I travelled to Warrnambool for several days work, choosing this hotel from a booking site. It was a great choice. It is an outstanding venue, within walking distance to the beach and a lovely park area. The room was very clean and spacious. The hotel has a bar and restaurant. I didn't use these facilities but they certainly looked like a nice place to relax. It was a full house over the weekend but it was still pretty quiet, noisewise.
"OLDE TIME HOSPITALITY .."
Stayed here two nights with a group. The hospitality shown by Raj and his staff was superb - catering for a large group can be difficult at the best of times. Dinner was served quickly and beautifully presented, fresh and tasty. Breakfast had a great choice of fruits, cereals, juices and bacon and eggs cooked to your preference. I noticed that couples (and singles) were treated with the same hospitality as we as a group were. Would definitely recommend staying here. Ideally situated opposite Flagstaff Hill & Information centre. Short walk to CBD
"Ms"
Very clean hotel, room was spacious. Staff were outstanding and very friendly. Excellent service. Great location, close to everything and yet in a quiet location. Would highly recommend this hotel. I look forward to staying there again.
"Great food, super friendly and clean"
Impressive service and cleanliness for a 3 star motel. The food was great. Breakfast included had a choice of a cooked breakfast that was awesome and the bar snack menu was delicious and extremely well priced. Bathroom was brand new and bed sheets sparkling clean. Everyone that we came into contact with that worked there was super friendly and helpful.
"Nice comfortable rooms and close to the town centre"
Easy to find and a quiet spot but close to the town centre. Lovely staff at the front desk and owner switched on about our needs. Always stay here when we come down from Sydney. Restaurant and bar are excellent
"Weekend away"
Best western olde maritime is a very clean hotel. Service excellent. Great location rooms lovely and spacious. Very friendly staff. Continental breakfast had lots of choices fruits yoghurts, wide range of cereals. Would definitely stay here again.
"Best Western favorite anywhere!!"
Dear Courtney, We have not forgotten your wonderful support, suggestions and exemplary hospitality at Olde Maritime/Clovelly Best Western, Warrnambool. After a 115 degree hike, you helped us laugh and keep things in perspective. From the minute we arrived throughout snack suggestions to restaurant meal and being a guiding star at night, it was a gift of grace to meet you. With gratitude Julie Hettig

We can't wait to have you back again soon!
"Recommended in central Warrnambool"
We felt very comfortable here for our one night stay on a road tour. Motel is centrally placed with easy access to shops or beach. We can highly recommend eating in at the onsite Clovelley restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
"Olde Maritime Warrnambool"
We thoroughly enjoyed our night here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were just across the road from Flagstaff Hillwhich was very convenient for us. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were great! Recommend a stay here.
"The staff were so friendly and accommodating and the rooms so clean and smelt fresh"

Dear whereidrinkmytea, Thank you so much for leaving us such a great review! I am so glad that you had such an enjoyable experience staying with us. We hope you enjoyed wandering around our gorgeous city and the GOR. See you again soon for another 5* stay!
"Fantastic motel"
This was our 8th stay at olde maritime and it did not fail to impress. Raj and his staff were impeccable with their service.the heritage room was brilliant. We will definitely be back. Compliments!!!!
"Spacious but dated apartment with some repairs needed"
My review relates to the 2 bedroom apartment in this complex which was in an older section of the motel and may be not reflective of the decor of the newer units. We thought the fixtures and furnishings looked quite dated featuring lots of dark brown. There was some need of repairs - for example the temperature sign missing from the top of one of the taps. Some fresh painting was required - for example the toilet door had a large strip of bare wood exposed and the front door step was worn and only partly painted. Perhaps most off putting of all was that, although the linens in the main bedroom were clean, the room had a very musty smell as though the mattress or pillows were in need of replacing. In other respects, the unit was spacious and the managers of the hotel very pleasant, but we would not stay there again.

Dear jayne4d, Thanks so much for taking the time out to share your experience. We take your recommendations and feedback on board, certainly with regard to the maintenance and cleanliness of our motel. We are looking at some changes and improvements in this space so stay tuned! We greatly value all of the feedback that we receive as it assists us in identifying areas that require improvement and development in our business. Regards
"Great stay for 2 couples"
We only stayed one night in a 2 bedroom apt. Furnishings were rather sparse but it was very comfortable, clean and convenient. Jess was outstanding and seemed t single handed lay run the place. We ate at the attached restaurant and we all agreed the food was very good. Nice to walk to dinner/breakfast and even better when the food is great quality. We would recommend this hotel/restaurant.
"Great value and location for Great Ocean Rd stay over!"
I don't usually stay at motor inns, but we stayed 2 nights when driving the Great Ocean Road and was impressed by the cleanliness, the crisp sheets, updated and spacious bathroom, free bottles of water and friendly staff. Location was great - 2 blocks to the Main Street, 1 from the waterfront and not too much further to the spa and mineral baths in Warrnambool. From the GOR perspective, a day from here can include Bay of Islands through to the 12 Apostles easily, so happily recommend Best Western Olde Maritime as a stop over!
"Home away from h ome."
Such a lovely clean and cosy motel. Bed was so comfy, food was delicious kids emptied their plates , which has never happened before. Staff treated us like family. One of the best places we have ever stayed at. Worth every cent !!
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear Sally4kids, What a compliment, we love that we can be your home away from home! I will be sure to pass on your great comments to the Chef, he will love hearing how much the kids loved the food! We hope to see you again soon. Cheers
"Holiday away from the fires and smoke"
Once again we visited Raj and his team at the Old Maritime in Warrnambool as we always receive great customer. Nothing is too much trouble and the follow through for the smallest request is always achieved. You will not be dissapointed with the position, across the road from the beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. We always come away from our holiday refreshed and ready to go back to our work. Thanks Maritime Warrnambool.

It's even better to see that our staff helped make your stay even more memorable, and I will be sure to let them all know! We hope to have you back one day soon. Cheers
"Nice motel, great location"
Well managed and excellent service. Nice bar and restaurant. Short walk to the Flagtaff village attraction, the beach and shops. No need to search for alternative restaurants in Warrnambool. The place onsite is by far the best in town.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear torbj_rns997 Thank you for the AMAZING review! It's fantastic to see our team being mentioned in so many of our positive reviews! We really hope that you make it back to see us one day in the future so that you can have another 5* stay! Cheers
"Wonderful bay window room."
Fabulous location. Friendly staff. Clean and well maintained room. Great bathroom with a rain head shower. Good parking. Across the road from the Warrnambool Flagstaff Maritime Museum. Within walking distance of great cafes and restaurants.
"Clean rooms and friendly staff"
My daughter and I stayed. We received a friendly welcome and were impressed with how clean and airy the rooms were. We also had a later checkout because we had booked via the motels website. This was an impromptu trip and my main reason for choosing this motel was the great price - less than a cabin at the caravan park. I would definitely return here.

Dear 613kathl, Thank you so much for the amazing review. It's wonderful to read that you enjoyed your time with us and our staff were friendly. We are big on first impressions so it's pleasing to read that you received a warm welcome upon your arrival. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers
"Outstanding Staff and Quality rooms"
A gem in a wonderful part of Victoria . I would highly recommend this place as a value for money quality hotel. The only down point was the quality of the food in the restaurant . 3 meals and all were dissapointing. Staff were brilliant in terms of service. Having said that , lots of good dining places in Warrnambool

We take your recommendations and feedback on board, certainly with regard to the quality of the food we serve in our restaurant. We hope to have you back again soon.
"Very comfortable and friendly staff!"
Jess at reception was great help arranging a last minute room for us. The comfortable bed and dark room was perfect for our short stay. Breakfast could be served a bit later as this service ends at 9am.
"Great Experience-highly recommended!"
We have stayed here for the last 3 years and I highly recommend it . Rooms are spotless and the friendly staff cannot do enough for you, epecially Raj, Courtney and the cleaning ladies. We look forward to returning next year.
"Wonderful service, Great Food & Amazing Location"
We didn't have a booking and tried the Olde Maritime Motor Inn by chance and we were greeted with a very friendly and warm welcome. The staff were extremely helpful and polite- The room was lovely and clean. We had room service & breakfast the next day and the food was delicious, and again the staff were happy to help in anyway they could. Overall it was a great stay & i wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Warrnambool.
"Most amazing meal ever!"
This venue is friendly and great value. Had the best meal I have ever eaten here. Fantastic atmosphere and really welcoming staff. Felt very at home and welcomed from the off. Really glad we came here and would love to come again.
"Perfect "
Last minute change of plans saw us head to Warrnambool, we stayed in a 2 bed apartment (2A and 2C) which was very spacious and clean, every convenience catered for. Kitchen, dining, living and laundry an added benefit. Excellent price for such a great central location in peak season, recommended to friends (who also stayed the same week) and will recommend again. Thank you!
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Dear ClareFid, Thanking you for sharing your feedback with us! I am glad you enjoyed your stay and the 2 bedroom apartment. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to have you stay with us again soon:) Cheers
"Overnight stay in great location"
booked directly through the motel and was easy and took less than 5min. Really friendly and helpful staff Thanks Courtney for the dining recommendation at Pippies, along with activities and towns to visit on the way home - they were all a hit!!!! And also for ensuring our route home wasn't amongst any current fires burning through the state. Location is walking distance to town even with a 5year old, and Lake Pertobe/ playground. Stayed in a premium twin room (room 27 ground floor) with 2 adults and a kid and it was spacious. Decor wasn't fancy, but comfortable and clean room. And it wasnt noisy at all despite the location on the main road. Plenty onsite car spaces and really easy to locate. Having breakfast was great for convenience, fresh and decent serving sizes from the hot food menu. Date of stay: January 2020 This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor mem
"Great time out"

"New Years get away"
The wife and I have stayed here before. We liked it so much we decided to return again. The room we were in this time was the deluxe spa room top floor. Rooms were a nice size and great views of the bay. The staff were & are always friendly and happy to assist with anything. We will stay here again in the future.

"Awesome place to stay, far exceeded my expectations. Real value for money"
I was travelling with my adult son, so we got a twin single. The room was small but perfectly formed. Foxtel on the tv, nice toiletries in the bathroom, fresh milk in the fridge and comfy beds. We had a lovely brekkie in the restaurant. Super helpful staff who happily gave us extra towels, advice where to eat and gave me a toothbrush when I said I'd forgotten to pack mine. Location is perfect; right near the beach and the main street which is full of restaurants and cafes. We had dinner at Images which was lovely but not cheap.

"Great central accommodation"
Clean and modern rooms in a great central location! Its only a short walk to the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village, the beach and to the Main Street. Friendly service when checking in and out. Would highly recommend.
"Great stay"
Centrally located accommodation close enough to the town centre to walk to dinner. We were very well looked after here. All staff so friendly. Arrived late so had the bar meals, which were hearty and delicious. We included breakfast, and it was generous too. Needed to soak some clothes and the housekkeepers were very helpful. Would stay here again.
"A great stay"
This was a wonderful place to stay. Raj was very helpful. Room was immaculately presented. Everything was just what we needed. Bed very comfortable and wifi fast. Lovely new bathroom too. Noise wasn't a problem and location was close to where we wanted to go.
"accommodation"
The room was well appointed, although a kitchenette would have enhanced it even more. Maybe even a small bathroom on the mezzanine level would also have helped. comfy beds, dining table and large bathroom made the space very useable
"Comfortable motel with extremely friendly staff"
My sister-in-law and I recently stayed for two nights at this very comfortable and friendly motel. The staff, dining room and room itself were excellent. The only downside was that the bathroom definitely needed upgrading and that the toiletries and bath towels etc were just adequate. I would then give it a 5 star rating. However, I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone looking for good, old fashioned hospitality.
"An excellent stay"
I visited Olde Maritime for the first time last week, with a group of friends. We traveled by train and walked to the motel. We were too early for check-in but were given maps and local tourism advice on things to do in the meantime. The Flagstaff Hill Museum and Village is just across the road. The service throughout our stay was super-friendly and helpful, right down to Raj taking our bags (and less mobile friends) to the station before departure! My room was very tastefully updated and I give full marks for a bathroom where I could actually SEE. So many hotels sacrifice lighting for aesthetics and fail the practicality test. The motel lounge is comfortable and a nice place to relax with a drink. Warrnambool has a lot more to occupy your time than at first glance. The Botanic Gardens are superb, the local architecture is a treat, and we were sorry not to notice the Heritage Trail until too late. Next time! Thanks to Raj and staff for a lovely stay.
"Warrnambool "
Had a lovely stay at the Olde Maritime Motel. Fabulous friendly and helpful owner. Very enjoyable, would stay again if we're in Warrnambool We were with a group of friends using our seniors rail travel passes
"The benchmark for customer experience."
I am a long time customer of the Olde Maritime and though I was impressed with my experience when I first stayed some 10 years ago, I have only seen things improve year upon year. The recent bathroom renovations are excellent and dedication to constant improvements is clearly evident each time I stay. Well done Raj and team!
"Great stay."
This is a very clean and friendly Motor Inn. It is especially great for visiting the Flagstaff Hill Museum. Parking was close to our room which was an advantage. Would definitely recommend, especially the bed and breakfast package.
"Nice and cozy place"
Clean, very friendly reception and staff Well equipped with air con, hair dryer and iron Had its own parking close to the room Nice view from my room Snacks were also available to purchase in the room
"Wonderful Quiet Motor Inn"
We absolutely loved our overnight stay at the BW Olde Maritime Motor Inn. Our room was very spacious, clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed for our stay (though we needed to source our own bottle opener from our car as the room didn't have one). The Motel is situated in a handy walking distance to town where we walked for dinner that night. We also explored many of the great touristy things to do around the area on foot, plenty close by the motel to do and see. Would highly recommend this place.
"Best Stay for the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village"
We found this the ideal Motel in Warrnambool. We could walk to most places around the town. Ideal if visiting the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village which is literally across the road especially after the evening Sound and Light Show
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Robert D, We are thrilled that you had a wonderful stay with us and found our location ideal for exploring! Olde Maritime is perfectly located near the ocean and away from the busy main roads. You can leave the car behind and walk to restaurants, cafes and pubs in town. Directly adjacent to our hotel is the picturesque Flagstaff Hill and the Maritime Village and Museum and a short stroll to Lake Pertobe, swimming beaches and breathtaking boardwalks. We hope to have you stay with us again soon:)
"Business"
Great location very close to the beach just a short walk, clean and tidy rooms it has a small gymnasium and plenty of parking and a in house restaurant. Very friendly reception on arrival. Walking distance to shops
"End of Great Ocean Road stopover"
Average rooms, location fine, close to local restaurants. Noisy when people in other rooms using showers/baths. Could also easily hear people in other rooms which wasnt ideal. Thankfully only staying for one night.
"Quick trip away"
My partner and I booked a quick trip away from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road and were pleased to find this hotel at the last minute. The room was clean, light and bed was comfy! The front desk and breakfast ladies very wonderfully accommodating as well – always greeting with warm smiles. We didn't have dinner there as we decided to try one of those local restaurants. However, breakfast the next day was a delight and a wonderful way to start the day. My balsamic mushrooms and pumpkin humous on toast was delish and my partners big breakfast hit just the spot. I would definitely recommend this place to any traveler. Thank you again!
"Good facilities, good location"
This is a nice motel with facilities equal to a good hotel. A nice restaurant, gym, lots of parking and comfortable rooms - especially the heritage suites. Walking distance to shops, beach, restaurants, lake pertobe.

Hi Wendy O, Thanks so much for leaving a review and for giving us full marks! We are thrilled that you had such a wonderful stay with us and loved our Heritage Suites:) Thank you for the feedback, we hope to have you visit us again soon:)
"Exceptional Service!"
Service is exceptional. From the point of arrival to departure everyone working at the hotel was polite, attentive, responsive and smiled. Rooms were very clean, comfortable and up to date with furnishings and design. Fast WiFi also! The restaurant provided a great selection of dishes and wines to satisfy all needs and whilst prices were slightly on the higher side, it matched the quality, presentation and taste. Highly recommend the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn and I look forward to returning again.
"Long weekend break .."
Charming motel providing excellent customer service. Staff in all areas from front desk, bar and restaurant, to kitchen and housekeeping could not have been more friendly or helpful. The motel is ideally situated and within walking distance to shops, tourist attractions, the beach, parks and restaurants. Warrnambool is such a lovely town and well worth a visit.
"My recent stay at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn"
Stayed for one night. Room spacious, very clean and well appointed. Bed very comfortable. Bed linen excellent . Motel was full or close to yet was quiet. Breakfast excellent . Good choice of cooked breakfasts or as I prefer good quality museli or other cereals and several varieties of fruit .A variety of good quality bread and spreads Great position near the Maritme Museum and a good restaurant . Manager charming and helpful as were staff. So ticked all the boxes for me
"Olde Maritime Comfort"
Our party of 10 well catered for at this motel. Renovations were underway and we (one couple) had to move rooms but manager could not have been more obliging. Friendly staff. Great food. Nice cocktail night Friday Happy Hour at half price. Rooms clean and comfortable.
"Amazing service and hospitality."
The room was spacious and clean with all the necessary facilities included. The service provided was very good as well. A nice breakfast was cherry on the cake. Will definitely stay here on my next visit.
"beautiful heritage room"
we really enjoyed our short stay in one of the rooms in the original harbour masters accommodation. sadly we could only get one night as we had not booked prior to arrival. Not surprised really, we will definitely book in advance next time. Clean, comfortable room, staff very friendly and accommodating, delicious breakfast, very close to all amenities. A really great place to stay in Warrnambool. Many thanks. (The price was reasonable too.)
"Warrnambool delight"
We recently stayed 3 nights in a spa suite at the Best Western Old Maritime motel in Warrnambool. The room was spacious and nicely decorated, although the furniture could do with upgrading. That said, we had a very comfortable 3 nights and enjoyed a very relaxing spa at the end of each days sightseeing. The staff were friendly and accommodating and we would certainly stay there again next time we visit Warrnambool.
"Working Bliss"
I was so happy with the service at olde maritime. They did a great job at making me feel right at home there. Food was amazing, staff were so pleasant and polite and the apartment was Just wonderful. Hopefully I can return for a proper holiday next time.

"Beautiful, Convenient and Friendly!"
My partner and I stayed in the gorgeous Heritage Queen suite for our anniversary. After looking for sooo long for somewhere with character (but renovated and clean!) to stay on the Great Ocean Road for what seemed like forever, we found this cute little motel. We thought it too good to be true, especially at the price, but the room was absolutely sparkling and spotless, with two ornamental fireplaces, and a HUGE and STUNNING marble shower. It was super close to the beach and Warrnambool CBD. The staff were very, very helpful and kind, and the restaurant was very cute. One of the best accomodations I have ever stayed in! Such a romantic and cosy room with wonderful amenities. Thank you Olde Maritime!
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
So excited you came to stay with us for your anniversary. How wonderful that you enjoyed our Heritage rooms! It's an elegant space which has been completely renovated to effortlessly combine its Art Deco origins with luxurious, contemporary soft furnishings. We have tried to restore and keep the original beams, heritage wood and bricks as much as possible, glad you enjoyed it too. Come back for your next anniversary :)
"Clean, updated Best Western with new bathrooms and free laundry!"
After a long drive on the Great Ocean Road this was a nice place to relax. The hotel room seemed updated with nice bedding linens. The bathroom looked brand new. Great shower! Slept well on the comfortable bed. Better than most Best Western hotels. Laundry was almost free except it costs $3 per half hour of drying. Soap is free at the front desk. But this is very cheap compared to taking your clothes to a laundrette. Would highly recommend this property!

"Will return!"
Great hotel - Huge rooms with heating that actually works! Breakfast is delicious. Staff were so helpful and friendly and made us feel like we were at home. The location is close to everything, including museums, main street, the beach and parks.
"Awesome"
It has been the highlight of our trip to have been able to stay at this motel. It has been a real honor and pleasure to have met and dealt with the staff especially COURTNEY, JESS, Shelby and Carly. They are just such awesome people. They are a credit to themselves and to the business. The room was amazing so fresh and clean. The restaurant is real value for money and there is no need to go any where else. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the bar for a drink after a long day on the road. If it meant spending my last dollar to stay at this establishment I would have no hesitation in doing so.
"Great location, fabulous staff"
The hotel is close to town, it was an easy to cafes and restaurants. The staff are very helpful and friendly, nothing was too difficult. The room is clean and tidy and the bathrooms have just been renovated.

"Great place to stay in Warrnambool"

"A perfect place to stay and eat!"
My husband were only visiting overnight. The friendly and helpful staff member at reception organised for us to get a room earlier than 2pm because my husband was quite ill and needed to rest. The room was clean and the beds were so comfortable and the linen crisp and clean. We had a very early dinner in the bistro - 3.30pm of bangers and mash etc which was excellent. Next morning in the dining room we had a full hot breakfast included in the price which was great. If we went back to Warrnambool we would definitely stay there again.
"Excellent Accommodation "
Two night stay, the room was very clean, plenty of space. Very well insulated from outside noise. Breakfast was delicious and at a reasonable price. I stayed in room 19 on the ground floor. Recently renovated, the rainforest shower was wonderful. Some rooms are still to be renovated. Room 18 even has a bathtub. Definitely will stay here again.
"Great Location with Friendly staff"
This was my second stay at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn. Each time from the booking process to check out all staff were friendly and happy to assist, nothing was too much trouble. Rooms are comfortable and clean. WiFi worked extremely well. The location is within walking distance to shops and restaurants and within great proximity to beach, pier and river.
"A great place to stay."
Terrific staff. Nice clean facilities and the area is quite. Very good value. Has a nice restaurant serving breakfast through evening meal. Unfortunately won't be back in Australia soon but certainly would use this motel again.
"Lovely hotel with very helpful people."
On our trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, we stayed overnight in this lovely hotel. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything you might need. The meals we had at the Clovelly restaurant were very good. The chocolate mud cake to die for. But we will mostly remember the staff who helped us checking our other reservations, when they noticed discrepanties in the information we had received from our travel agent.
"Relaxing stay"
The wife and I enjoyed a couple of nights at best western olde maritime motel. This was our 7th stay here and we are never disappointed with the accommodation or the wonderful staff. Compliments to Raj and his friendly staff. We will be back in july next year. We cannot recommend olde maritime enough. Again, compliments.
"Ther perfect getaway!"
Awesome location, super friendly staff, a full restaurant and bar, freshly renovated rooms, what more could you want! The family had a great time and are already asking to go back. We will be returning for sure!
"Cosy location"
Nice rooms, great location and full breakfast included. The premise restaurant and bar are nice, the staff friendly, food is well priced and good quality. we were made to really feel welcome. I recommend it.
"excellent weekend visit to Warrnambool"
we received great service supporting very good facilities including food at the restaurant & bar. The room was very comfortable with a great sunny bow window nook. Only down side was no microwave but this was only a minor matter given the excellent service offered by all the friendly staff.
"Great location."
A great location in warrnambool. Rooms were spotless. Reception staff were so friendly and welcoming. Central in town and close to parks and beaches as well as attractions. Highly recommend you stay there.
"Wonderful stay "
Excellent customer service, very welcoming, clean rooms, helpful staff, perfect location. Lovely restaurant at front of house. I would definitely recommend. I would love to bring my family back again.

"stress free getaway"
My family travelled a long way to enjoy the hospitality and cleanliness of the Maritime Best Western in Warrnambool. The property is kept in a high standard of cleanliness across all areas and gardens are beautiful. The rooms are all renovated to a high standard with bathrooms all renovated across property. The Clovelly restaurant has a seasonal menu with reasonably priced fare from the sea and sourced from local produce. Raj together with wife and family, and Courtney, the Gill of all trades and staff make every effort to make your stay an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The Breakwater is across the road with restaurants and shopping only minutes to walk, the position is another reason we will return. Flagstaff Hill is across the road and the light show is well worth the journey through the shipwrecks coast history and personal stories of local identities. Plenty to see and do close by, but the beach is the stunning centrepiece of Warrnambool making it is easy to spend a lot of time at the breakwater, Julie Dart , Rhyley and Callum Dart-Bell
"Business Trip September 2019"
I regularly travel to Warrnambool and I keep coming back to the Olde Maritime Motel! Quiet location, clear of the main highway noise and traffic. Lovely spacious rooms with clean amenities. Great People and Food!! Never disappointed!!! See you in November!!!
"Warm friendly accommodation "
We stayed in olde Maritime for one night. Situated close to the town centre and the beach. Room was clean,comfortable and warm. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was generous. It was great having the restaurant and bar nearby on a cold wet night. Had a lovely meal. Would highly recommend staying in Olde Maritime Motor Inn.
"Business stay"
Keep coming back to this hotel for our business trips over the last 5 years. Completely satisfied with the service of the hotel team. Clean rooms, exceptionally friendly staff. Nice restaurant. Great location, just a short walk to a beach and meters from the Flagstaff village.
"Friendly, clean and comfortable"
Nice place not too close to the main road, got a good nights sleep, service at breakfast was quick and efficient. Staff were very friendly. Walking distance to town, Maratime museum etc. Would stay here again.
"Short Break"
Such wonderful service, pleasant, friendly, helpful staff...cleaners through to the owners! Our room (with the mezzanine) was soo very comfortable and great quality, including the toiletries, tea, coffee biscuits, exceptionally clean, wifi fast, many choices on tv., we didn't need to use the gym with such gorgeous walks just outside our door. The restaurant was excellent and our breakfast deal was a real bonus.
"Just What We Ordered"
The room was just as described, the staff were more than helpful, overall a very good experience. The food was excellent the prices good and the ambiance in the bar lounge was perfect. Could not fault the location.
"Short Break"
What an amazing weekend. Everything was exceptional, service, staff, location, room,cleanliness, breakfast, weather, Views front and back. So close to all tourist attractions, CBD, beach, restaurants. There is nothing that we can fault. Well maybe one thing the length of our stay was way to short. Have requested the same room again as we most definitely will be coming back.
"Visit to Warrnambool Horse Racing Stables"
We had an overnight stay at BW Olde Maritime Motel as part of a Spicer Thoroughbred Racing to see Lindsay Smith's Stables at Warrnambool and a new horse acquisition. The visit was preceded by a great dinner in the motel's restaurant. There were about thirty of us and a bus tour preceded our sitting so great job by restaurant staff and chefs. Food was excellent with three choices and very friendly and efficient staff. They put on an early breakfast especially for us with bacon, eggs plus full selection of fruit and cereals. Reception staff were very friendly and made everybody feel most welcome. Our room was a standard room but very clean, great heating and TV with full range of channels. Instant hot water which is rare! WiFi was good and a very comfortable bed. They also have deluxe rooms with spas etc. The motel is well located near the top of the town with close access to the Breakwater entertainment area and close to the city shops. Plenty of free parking.
"travelling for work"
The motel is extremely clean and tidy, Internet is fast and easy, the meals in the restaurant are amazing and the staff always friendly. I would recommend this motel to anyone who likes comfort and amazing service.
"Very Comfortable and clean"
Really enjoyed my stay at the Olde Maritime. Staff are extreamly friendly and helpfull, greated me by name. My room had been recently renovated with a brand new bathroom. Shower was great. Bed comfy and warm, room was very clean and smelt fresh. The food and service in the on site resturant is excellent with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit
"Sharon Santoro"
We had the pleasure of staying at the Best Western Olde Maritime this weekend for our 10 year Wedding Anniversary . We stayed in a Deluxe Spa room loved the Cathedral ceiling , the decor and the view. We thought the meals at the in house Clovelly restaurant were amazing. Cleanliness and service were excellent. The owner Raj and Emma and all the staff were happy and friendly we highly recommended the Olde Maritime and we will be staying there again .

"Nothing old about the Old Maritime!"
From the moment we walked in to reception, I felt like I was at home. My husband and I were warmly greeted, making us feel like we were long time regulars, yet it was our first visit. We were delighted with the surprise of a room upgrade, making our stay even better. The room itself was immaculate. An exceptionally comfortable bed greeted us and a huge shower (the largest I have ever seen in a motel!) was certainly a highlight. The absolute best thing about the entire room, would have to be the electric blanket on the bed. Knowing that Warrnambool can be very cold, it was so comforting to know that we would be warm, and be able to control the warmth! Even though there was a reverse cycle air con, the electric blanket was a special touch. The customer service of all the staff cannot be faulted. They were very friendly, and genuinely happy to interact with us. Thank you to each of you, we cannot wait to stay here again!!!

"Great breakfast."
Late booking. Venue called to make sure I would be set for a meal as the kitchen was shortly closing. Rooms very clean. Grounds kept very clean too. Breakfast in restaurant was very nice. Was a repeat visit for me as I had stayed there when checking out residential accomodation for my brother a couple of years back. Was back again helping my brother move back to Warrnambool after a sojourn in Melbourne, knew exactly where to stay.
"Good location "
The inn is located opposite Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village and next to the Clovelly Restaurant. I had a comfortable stay. It was cosy and quiet although the room was on the small side. Very polite and friendly service. I would recommend the inn and would stay again.

"Perfect for a relax "
Had a great time at the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn. Limited rooms left so was offered a family apartment at a discount which was perfect! Bub had a ball in the spa bath and it was so easy to order excellent room service & save us having to go out again after a very long day of driving! Staff were friendly and helpful. Pity we only could stay the night. Rooms were clean and fresh. Couldn't fault anything. Was a bit suspicious on why this hotel had hundreds of reviews more than any other close by, but they do request a review at a number of spots - ie the internet password (clever) and via email afterwards. Thanks for a lovely stay!!

I stayed here for a business trip. We had dinner and breakfast as a group. The food was great. The rooms were clean and well equipped. I really loved the recycling bins in the rooms. The service was exceptional from check in to check out. Every single member of staff was happy and smiling and provided exceptional service. I really couldn't recommend this motor inn highly enough.

"The most beautiful staff ever"
Very friendly, clean and rooms heated for guest arrival, I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Warrnambool. Bar and food fantastic nice cosy relaxed entertaining oh happy our every Friday need I say anymore
"Comfortable refurbished rooms"
Well presented comfortable rooms have plenty of space for baggage. It was good to have a ground floor room so no carrying suitcases up stairs, and nice to have a kettle and toaster in the room. Bathroom was just renovated!
"Great Management and Staff"
So I thought I booked a Sunday night stay, but when I showed up on the Sunday, I was told that my booking had been made for the Saturday night. When I reviewed my booking confirmation, they were right I had booked for the night before. Not wanting to pay for a night I didn't use, the management and staff were happy to transfer my booking there and then so I was not out-of-pocket any extra money and I was able to stay the Sunday night. To make things even better, the beer was cold, the steak was cooked perfectly and the staff were very friendly. Will stay again for sure.
"Overnight stay after Great Ocean Road!"
Great hotel - friendly staff and really good food. Comfortable beds! Would have liked to have stayed longer!! Lots to do! The town has a lot to offer. During May-October one can see whales from the beach!

"Close to city, reasonable size of room but over priced for its condition."
Visited Warrnambool for the first time, stayed overnight to look around. Allocated to a small room with no view but okay for two people staying overnight. The room is clean and well maintained. But A bit disappointed that even a small bottle of water is charged, not complimentary despite paying a fair fee for overnight stay during non holiday season. But staff were all amazing and made us feel welcomed. 5 starts to staff but not overall experience.

"Warrnambool mid winter"
Spent weekend in Warrnambool and stayed at Olde Maritime Motor Inn. It is an excellent position - can walk to most places from here. Beds were comfy, heater works well, it is quiet despite being close to a main intersection and check in and check out were easily managed. Staff were attentive and pleasant so it was an enjoyable stay.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Peter F, We are pleased that you had a wonderful weekend stay with us and found our location ideal.

"A very comfortable stay"
I booked a room with a spa bath. I had stayed in the same room about 12 months ago. Spacious room with a comfortable bed and pleasant outlook towards the coast. The meals for dinner and breakfast were excellent. Friendly and pleasant staff were always willing to help. The rate is higher than a number of other motels in Warrnambool but it included a delicious hearty hot breakfast.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review

"Would I stay here again? Definitely"
Rooms were clean and trim/design on par with industry. The difference comes with the interaction you have with the owner and staff. Everyone is genuine, friendly and engaging. I can also recommend the restaurant (highly)

"Business Trip"
The staff (all of them) are extremely friendly and welcoming. The weather was cold and windy outside, however the staff always ensured you felt warm inside. The meals from the bistro were hearty and delish, even with dietary requirements. Will always recommend, love the proximatity to the city centre as well.
"Fantastic"
Lovely staff, friendly service, great rooms & location. Perfect for short or longer stays. Great bar and restaurant on site. Easy walk to town centre. Short drive to whale watching & other attractions.
"Business trip"
This property continues to deliver brilliant service, meals & accommodation at the highest possible level. Raj, Courtney and crew just make everything so easy with a what appears to be a minimum of fuss but every detail is covered perfectly. Accommodation is always spotless with great beds, towels and the heater on is a nice touch. Dinner (doesn't matter what is ordered is very good but my bara last night was great and travelling companion had prawn pasta that was equally as good) & Breakfast (has the mushies and they were outstanding) is always equal and if not better than most.
"Excellent stay"
Stayed two days. Staff were friendly, helpful and greeted us with a smile. Rooms were clean. Great central location, owner even drove us to the railway station when it was pouring with rain. Highly recommend.
"Very neat and clean"
Friendly welcome at reception. Clean and tidy modern room. Foxtel works well. Unsure exactly how the heater works on the split system, but it's probably my incompetence. Happy and will stay here again soon!
"Short walk to ocean and cbd"
Room very spacious but has a tiny bathroom. Modern and well presented and opposite Flagstaff Hill. About 15 min walk to either the beach or into town. Food is nice but the chilli prawn pasta dish had double the chilli it needed and spoilt the dish. Buffet breakfast has a reasonable selection or have breakfast in your room if you prefer. Can choose a dish off the menu and still help yourself to juice and tea/coffee. Quiet location at night, no issue with traffic noise. Has a small but modern gym, which was also well presented. Good parking and spacious.
"2 night stay"
Excellent staff service ( very obliging ), The Heritage room that we occupied was clean and spacious well equipped with 2 large LED Smart TV. Large bathroom and mini bar, good choice of breakfast food, great location easy access to lots of attractions
"Stay at Olde Maritime motel at Warrnambool"
Have stated here many times. Love the location, clean rooms and free wifi always appreciated. The in house restaurant is excellent. I always call them directly to book as it is such a pleasant experience.
"Great location "
The place is great and the staff helpful. We were unlucky to book through booking.com and we were given a very basic room whereas we could have booked directly and got one of those beautiful rooms for the same price. The staff were nice and explained it all.well learnt for next time. Will return. Breakfast was really well priced and ery tasty.
"All you could want....."
On a road trip we stayed one night but wished it was more. Great location on the edge of town but near beach, park, etc. Rooms were all you could wish for and well furnished. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was very good and at a reasonable price. Similarly with breakfast.
"Clean, comfortable, quiet & Electric blankets"
What more could you want on a cold winter night. A place to stay that ticks all of the above. Friendly staff too. A nice stroll to the food precinct even though we did manage to take a wrong turn and get lost on the way back. Highly recommended.
"Charming and vintage feel"
We booked the family mezzanine room. It was cleaned and comfortable. We ate at the onsite restaurant for dinner. The ambience was vintage and charming. Service level was very good and the food was excellent. We also booked with breakfast the following morning. It was a very hearty meal too.
"Old world with a modern twist"
Great room, Bathroom very modern, Restaurant has great food and service. Best thing the bed is very comfortable. Great location not too far from town centre and very quite.Good vehicle access and parking.
"Highly recommended"
Great stay at Best Western Old Maritime. Very easy check in/out process. Room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Very lovely staff. Short walk to shops and beach.
"Single night stay"
Good location, good amenities, restaurant good service and range of selection. friendly welcoming staff cater for your needs. Ample parking, short access to rooms. No reasons for selecting another location

"Overnight stay"
We upgraded to a spa suite upstairs and the view and room was awesome. Great staff and service. Highly recommend a stay here. Would stay here again but for more than one night. Raj was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was good. Just a pity we were only here for one night.
"Rest & Relax"
A fabulous location for a rest & relax at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn, only had one night there but the staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly, the highlight was the seafood platter we had in the motel restaurant, absolutely delicious, a spacious clean tidy room and close to the main shopping strip. We had a very enjoyable time short as it was but wouldn't hesitate to re book at this motel in Warrnambool again. Thanks again.
"Amazing staff"
The two bedroom unit was amazing it was as big as a small house, so good for a family, the main bedroom bed was so comfortable. . Very convenient location - five minute walk to the main street, in the other direction 5 minute walk to the beach or Lake Patobe. As if that is not enough, the staff are amazing, helped me with the TV as l'm not techno savy with Smart TV's. Then the next morning when l was checking out l was asked how l was and l replied full up with a cold, the lovely staff member asked me if she could make me a hot lemon drink. Amazing. Highly recommended.
"May Race Week"
Yet again we had a great week at the Bool, Accommodation great, room serviced daily, great Staff. Home away from home for us. Raj and the team do a great job to make everyone feel relaxed and enjoy the week.

Unbelievable service from all the crew, from pickups, organising restaurant reservations both there's and outside. Restaurant diner meal outstanding, Steaks A1. Rooms were clean, but beds magic with plenty of pillows. The Gymn was adequate for a couple of the lads.

"well located and quiet"
Not much to fault here - the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn ticked all the boxes for me - large room, comfortable bed, good water pressure, good heating on a cold night. It's well located, just outside the commercial area so it's possible to leave your car and walk to restaurants and cafes (although there is an onsite restaurant). Also, a shout out to Jess at reception who has exceptional customer service skills. Would definitely stay again as the price and quality were above average.

"Great location "
We stayed only one night and found the room very clean and serviceable. Most certainly dated. The split system air conditioning was blowing across the bed. Bath towels were paper thin and only liquid soap and a tiny roll of toilet paper supplied. Hot water was only a trickle. Lucky we didn't have the spa room with bath or we would still be there trying to fill it. We were in a Premium Twin room. At $280 per night it was most definitely overpriced. The normal price for this room is $175 per night. The staff however were excellent and did their very best.

"Great hotel with friendliest staff in Victoria"
My wife and I and my parents stayed at the BW Maritime in Warrnambool for 1 night on our trip down the Great Ocean Road. On check in we requested a ground floor room for my mature parents and Raj was very obliging and efficient in finding a suitable room. The rooms are very spacious and cosy and the hotel is well located in the town. We included a breakfast option which was well worth the money given that there was a variety of food which was all delicious. Overall the staff were super friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend a long or short stay at this hotel

"Location, comfort and convenience at its best! "
We stayed here for 4 days. The location was wonderful. Just next to Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum. Walking distance to Lake Pertobe. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The hotel itself felt like home. We stayed in the Heritage Family Mezzanine and absolutely loved it! Extremely spacious and tastefully decorated. The bed and pillows were soo comfortable that I didn't want to wake up in the morning! There were even heated bedsheet on every bed for cooler nights. The daily breakfast in Clovelly was awesome. Freshly cooked upon order. Tasted soo good! Absolutely loved our stay here and we will definitely be back.

"Overpriced"
Friendly Staff, great meal in restaurant but room was very overpriced. Tired in need of upgrading especially bathroom, high noise level from road and neighbouring rooms. Not up to the standard expected of the price tag

"Great option for short stay!"
Very welcoming staff especially after spending 5 hours on the road!! Excellent room with good views Close to city centre and easy access to other locations in the area. Their restaurant was also 1st class and good value for money
"Tidy, comfortable and friendly"
This property is in a great location, just across the road from parks and beaches. It is central to the town yet still quiet at night. A good place for couples and families. Great friendly staff. Very comfortable stay.
"Stayed for one night with my family"
We stayed here for one night and it was really amazing and a neat place to stay. Raj was a fantastic host and we would love to stay here again when we return visit Warrnambool again. On the night, when returned from a show to have dinner, most of the items were sold out in the restaurant, however, Raj immediately took us in his car and dropped us at another restaurant which was at a walkable distance from the Inn. This shows how committed Raj is in serving his customers...Definitely, recommend this place to everyone

"two"
This is a very well located motel right opposite the ocean and walking distance to the city center. The motel is well located for visiting all attractions. The rooms are small and dated. It was very quiet , even when the weather was windy and wet . We were pleased to be moved to a ground floor room when we hadn't booked one.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Resort39125661521, We are thrilled to that you had a wonderful stay with us and found our location ideal. We love our location too! Olde Maritime is perfectly located near the ocean and away from the busy main roads. You can leave the car behind and walk to restaurants, cafes and pubs in town. Directly adjacent to our hotel is the picturesque Flagstaff Hill and the Maritime Village and Museum and short stroll to Lake Pertobe, swimming beaches and breathtaking boardwalks. Thank you for sharing you feedback on TripAdvisor, we hope to see you again next time you're in Warrnambool!
"Ok But Beware"
Based on reviews and the photo on Trip Advisor we booked this motel for one night while driving the Great Ocean Road. First let me say that our room was nothing like the one pictured. It was a small, spare room in the old motel behind the main building (the room was about the size of the bed). This was mid week, off season. The Inn was not full! There are was no reason that we could see for putting us in that particular room. We arrived after dark and wondered why we had booked a room like that but were tired and thought it would be ok. The room had been refurbished and included everything we needed. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant - very good. Staff were wonderful. On the way back to the room we noticed some orange cones in front of a room near ours and realized there would be construction starting in the morning. Slept fine. The construction began bright and early, at 7:30 AM. We would have preferred an 8 AM start, if there had to be work done. But that's not the end of the story. This was not just a few workers rattling paint cans. This was loud hammering, a high pitched buzz saw, and drilling through concrete — to the point where our room was shaking and the noise was so loud I became nauseated. The construction was taking place in the 4 rooms immediately adjacent to ours. Then, at 10 sharp they turned off the water, just as we were finishing up before leaving. We mentioned this saga to the receptionist, who, unfortunately did not seem to understand at all what it must have been like to spend a couple of hours in a room like that. She said that the construction was necessary due to a broken water pipe. Fine. But that's the hotel's problem, not ours. We recommended that management not offer that room to any new guests. Probably that entire row of old motel rooms should be out of commission until the construction is done. If you choose this hotel, check the room you are offered carefully before accepting.

"Great Hotel, terrible guests on my night"
Great hotel; the staff were friendly and professional and my room was terrific, very spacious and clean. Unfortunately, my one night stay was absolutely ruined by some other guests who decided to blast (terrible) loud music from their room leaving the door open and other guests or friends to come in and out of their room. I would stay again because the hotel is nice, in a great location and the staff were very considerate.

"One nighter"
We stayed one night while travelling the coast road. We had excellent large room/suite on the 2nd floor. Very clean and nicely decorated. Bar food and breakfast excellent. Good friendly service. We thought it good value.

"Would stay again"
We stayed here for a night as part of our tour of the great ocean road. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room had tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge. Bed was comfortable and shower was good. Locally the beach was about a 5 minute car journey and lovely. I would happily stay again and the only reason I have given it a 4 star is because there was no room in the restaurant for dinner for us. Not sure if it's because the locals booked dinner or everyone in the hotel, but it was a shame we had to go back out for something to eat.

"central and quiet location"
We have stayed a number of times at the Olde Maritime and have always been most comfortable in a superior queen room, with plenty of space. This time , due to unavailability of other rooms, we had a standard room that was much smaller, tired decor, especially carpet and cracked vanity. The fridge was really hard to access and there wasn't even a plate, just 2 mugs and spoons. This was disappointing but maybe appropriate to the pricing.
Raj P, Manager at Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hey there Celery26, We're sorry that you didn't have a great stay in our Standard Room. Over the dates that you stayed was extremely busy which resulted in our premium rooms being fully booked:( Always be sure to book direct to receive our best rate and well in advance during long weekends to avoid missing out on our popular room types. We take your recommendations and feedback onboard, certainly with regard to the vanity and decor. We are looking at some changes and improvements in this space so stay tuned! However, we do value your feedback and hope to have you return again soon.
"after a long day driving it was great to lie down on a very comfotable bed"
After a long day of driving it was great to be greeted by the reception with a good smile My booking was quickly found and my room key was given without any fuss Great room and the bed was wonderfull. Nice to have a proper coffee making machine provide and the bathroom was great and new.We stayed in room no 23
"Comfortable stay. Close to beach and eateries"
Rooms were very omfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating as we extended our stay for an extra night. Close to the beach, walking promenade and many eateries. We would stay again
"Ideal weekend away"
The olde Maritime in is in a great location. Booking in was so easy with the excellent staff. The bed and breakfast deal is great value, whether you chose to dine in your room or in the restaurant. After a busy day the restaurant is a great place to dine
"Comfy stay in beautiful Warrnambool "
Friendly staff, exceptionally clean facilities, good restaurant, good area! The only down falls I had was my room facing on the street which made it not so pleasant to waking up to traffic at 5:00 am also I know there's probably no way about going about it but we found parking spots very limited! Aside from that we would 110% stay again!
"Exceptional stay at the Olde Maritime"
The Olde Maritime is an excellent place to stay, offering options for everyone who comes to stay. The staff were exceptional, you could not ask for any more help or hospitality from all the staff. The meals from the restaurant were exceptional and would recommend them to anyone

"Dress Circle Position"
My first visit to Warrnambool was such a success due to staying at such an excellent location. Everything we wanted to do, or learnt about, was walking distance. The Motor Inn was in a quiet location with a gorgeous outlook. Our two bedroom apartment had a well organised kitchen, including a coffee machine and dishwasher, and a much appreciated washing machine and private line. It was all clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful on all occasions.

"Convenient location"
The Olde Maritime Motor Inn is a well run establishment with friendly and efficient staff. Rooms are quite good being clean and fresh. Bathroom a bit on the small size but adequate for one person at a time. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning works well The Clovelly restaurant offers a reasonable range of dishes if slightly on the expensive side. All in all, a perfectly adequate place to stay.

We stayed in the top floor of the 'Lighthouse Suites', with exposed beams and high raked ceiling, which created an atmosphere of extra space yet retained a cosy feel. Lovely choice of paint and wallpaper added to the charm. Friendly staff and excellent location.

"Ideal location - opposite Flagstaff Hill"
We were attending a wedding at Flagstaff Hill, so we picked here so we could easily walk to venue and back to hotel. Our room was a suite which was spacious and had a big window to view over the road. Bed was a comfy king size, room had all the basic facilities, and all we needed. Staff friendly and accommodating.
"Brilliant Place - Wouldn't go anywhere else"
Great rooms, great location and the best staff. Always willing to help, always welcoming and make you feel right at home. As a Rep I stay here once every couple of months and I get the same great service every time. Obviously managment look after their their staff as it's always the same happy faces welcoming me each time. This is my go to place every time. Bruce

"Excellent and friendly staff."
Neat and tidy rooms in a nice location of Warrnambool. Last minute decision to stay in Warrnambool and the service from when we approach reception to the time we left was excellent. Had dinner in the restaurant, which was also wonderful.
"WELCOMING & VERY COMFORTABLE"
My room very comfortable and clean with good bed ...great shower. Staff very helpful, very friendly....when travelling by yourself this is important especially in the Restaurant. Situated not far from the beach ...great walks.
"Business Visit"
Well looked after, staff very friendly and accommodating. relaxed environment and close to city centre and beach. Check in and out with assistance great. Would recommend all to visit and take in Warrnambool and have your stay here.
"Value for Money Accomodation"
We checked in at 5.30pm. The reception staff was cheerful, friendly and efficient. She even recommended us to view the sunset at Breakwater near the hotel which we did. A great lifetime experience! The 2 bedroom apartment which we booked had everything in it to make our stay pleasant. The toilet and shower were separated as well as the washing equipment. Our apartment was at an undisturbed quiet corner and that made for a much desired pleasant rest and sleep after a long day of driving and sightseeing.We will return to this hotel if we decide to do another round of the Great Ocean Route drive.

"Great location"
The room was nice and clean and the place was very quiet. Great location. Close to shops restaurants and beach. All within walking distance. Friendly staff and love the food at their restaurant. We had breakfast and dinner. The hot water was too hot and the cold water tap flow was not very good. Overall the place was good.
"Charming Hotel, Faultless Service"
The Olde Maritime is a delightful surprise when we have become so used to mediocrity when travelling. It is reassuring to find a Hotel of such high standard but does not break the bank. The hotel has a range of rooms, but my favourite is any of the Lighthouse wing (facing the Maritime Museum and waterfront). Treat yourself with one of the Heritage Rooms (24 or 25). The in house Clovelly Restaurant is a must (rated #1 in Warrnambool). Excellent food, a delightful wine list and outstanding service. A drink at the bar at the end of a full day is also a treat. But above all else, it is the staff the make the Olde Maritime the gem that it is. Friendly, alert, absolutely professional and simply by their attitude letting you know nothing is too much trouble.
"Exceeded expectations"
Took a chance and Booked the olde maritime as the place we usually stay was ridiculously priced and I'm glad it was as from the moment we arrived we didn't look back. A big thank you to Courtney who made our stay even more enjoyable and to raj the manager you have a great team. This will be our go to place from now on
"Great place to stay "
My husband, daughter and I stayed for 6 nights. The room was a good size for us, with plenty of room for a portacot. The bed was comfortable and the amenities were good. The staff were very accommodating, retrieving us a baby bath so we could bath our daughter easier rather than trying to shower with her. We had breakfast one morning in the restaurant and it was great. Will definitely stay here again when we next return to Warrnambool.

The location is great close to the town and the beach. Everything is walking distance. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The bar and the restaurant is also very nice. We had fun watching cricket at the bar with a few guys we met at the hotel.
"Business trip "
This is the third time I have stayed here. The whole team and Raj are extremely friendly and willing to assist wherever they can. Great location to walk down to beach and meals at restaurant are really good. Will keep coming back here on all my business trips to Warrnambool.
"ONE OF MY FAVOURITES"
We have stayed here a couple of times now and each time has been a wonderful experience. The most friendly helpful staff, went out of their way t help in every possible way. very helpful on where to go and what to do. The food was always superb. I love love love the rooms and amenities. the spa was perfect and relaxing. it is so close to everything. cant wait t come back
"What a warm friendly place to stay"
We started at this place for a 3 day weekend. We were in one of the self contained apartments, well worth the money too. We had plenty of room and could cook for ourselves and also had our own washing machine and dryer! Spa bath was amazing after a long day at the beach. So close to everything, the delicious food at the cloverlly restuarant. Also room service for brekky made the sleep in easy on the last day. Also the staff were friendly, helpful and just had the best customer service. I'd like to special mention Courtney for being more than helpful from before we even arrived with helping me upgrade from a normal room to the apartment and just genuinely being helpful our whole stay. At the cloverlly the lovely lady I wish I could remember her name, what a beautiful human she was and so great with our 7 year old son and made sure me the pregnant lady was well looked after. Thanks Best Western Maritime!
"Always great service and clean rooms"
We travel to Warrnambool about 4 times a year and always stay here when it's available. The rooms are always clean and the beds comfortable. The staff are super friendly and happy to accommodate requests for beach towels etc.
"Warrnambool Getaway"
A very cgood motel that is in a quiet location close to the Flagstaff Maritime Museum and foreshore. Close walking distance to the shopping precinct. Staff very friendly and helpful. The facilities were good & menu excellent. Must return again soon.
"Best Western Olde Maritime Warrnambool"
Clean, comfortable bed friendly staff good restaurant close to everything the only issue we had was with the tv and how to operate it you need to point the remote at the ceiling and be in a direct line of middle of tv to change channels but staff were more than happy to come and show us how to use it, overall pleasant stay and would definitely come back

The accommodation was clean, very comfortable, spacious, and central to so much within the town. The restaurant is well worth a visit, with delicious meals, and the pancakes I had for breakfast were the BEST I've ever had! We will definitely be back to pay a visit to Raj and the team, and will highly recommend Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn to our family and friends!

Hey Karen67N, Wow.... Thank you so very much for the awesome 5/5 review, it's definitely the kind of feedback we love hearing! We're absolutely thrilled to read that your stay with us was faultless. At Olde Maritime, we believe that it's the little things that make a stay memorable, so it's fabulous to read that we've managed to provide you with a perfect stay. Thank you for mentioning the service received from our team. Our staff love what they do and it's wonderful that this was reflected on the Front Desk and throughout your stay. Our Chef will love to know that our Old Style Pancakes are the BEST pancakes you have ever tasted! We totally agree, it's the fresh berries, vanilla bean ice cream and berry coulis that we can't resist:) We appreciate your feedback and recommendation, and hope you come back again very soon.
"Perfect position with view to the sea"
We stayed over on Saturday night ( 5/01/19 ) to enjoy a weekend by the sea and checked in right on 2 to make the most of our time in Warrnambool. Courtney on reception was so lovely and very helpful providing us with a map of places for ideas to enjoy locally and made checking in super easy and was very welcoming and professional. We stayed in room 37 which was on the third floor and we loved the loft ceiling and spacious feel to the room. The bed was super comfy and the spa was super relaxing and with a view to the sea from the window it was a perfect space to unwind. We were able to walk to the beach from the accommodation and also to local restaurants and activities. ( We recommend Red Spoon Thai Restaurant for dinner ) The breakfast at the restaurant on Sunday morning which was included in our package was super tasty ( I enjoyed the pancakes and hubby the big brekky which they made vegetarian for us ) great service and great selection of both cold and cooked brekky. We would also recommend the canoeing at Lake Pertobe as there's a huge space to explore and there are so many gorgeous local birds to see on the lake.

It can be tough when you've travelled such a long distance, a smile and a warm welcome makes all the difference! It's great hat you enjoyed dining in our Clovelly Restaurant for breakfast.The Old Style Pancakes with fresh berries, vanilla bean ice cream and berry coulis always hits the spot:) We are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and you were able to explore some of Warrnambool's attractions and nature. We hope to have you stay with us again for more adventures!
"Comfortable, clean and central"
Excellent accommodation which was spotless and very comfortable including the bedding. I had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and that was excellent too. The staff were friendly and helpful. I only had 1 night at the Maritime but it was a pleasure staying there.

Big thanks to Raj and his team for making our stay a pleasant one. Clean and tidy room, great friendly service, and delicious food in the Clovelly restaurant. Can't wait to stay here again on our next trip to Warrnambool. Cheers, Brad Sheehan
"Olde Time Service with a Smile"
Great hotel. Very close to beach, shops and Lake Pertobe. The staff were extremely friendly, rooms were clean and the family room we had was spacious. Some noise came through from adjoining rooms, but it was at an acceptable level.
"3 day break at Christmas in Warrnambool"
Thank you to all the friendly staff for making our stay at the Best Western Olde Maritime in the heritage queen room and we would definitely stay here again. We also had a great time in the Clovelly restaurant; the Ling fish was the best I've had in long time! Thanks you so much to all the staff.
"Wonderful!"
Our stay began with the friendliest and most helpful staff going. The room was spacious and comfortable and the separate bath and shower were really appreciated. Breakfast was just perfect as well. If you're in Warrnambool, stay here!
"has it all"
great location, very good facilities, great service, dining room / dinner a plus. In between beach and main city centre. rooms well equipped - good TV, good bed, wifi. restaurant and bar makes for enjoyable stay. Reception staff friendly.

"An average motel."
We spent a single night here. The motel's owner, Raj, checked us in quickly, as we arrived rather late. The motel has several parking space within the property on a first-come-first-serve basis. We were allocated room 13, which is a Premium twin room. The room, which was very basic and simple, featured a king bed plus another single bed, a regular a/c, a coffee table with 3 chairs, a window facing the parking lot, a small TV and a minibar. There was no safe. The beds included an electronic blanket, which was a nice touch, as it was chilly outside. The small bathroom included a small sink, a toilet, a tiny shower with dispensers for the shower gel and shampoo. There was no bath tub. Breakfast at the Clovelly Restaurant and Bar was pretty average (I've written a separate review about it). Bottom line - this is a decent 3-star motel for a good night sleep, and as long as you don't expect anything more, it'll do just fine. Two thumbs up for Raj, the very friendly owner.

It was a great room and although they had a full restaurant I was given room service option which I took. Thank you for a lovely meal.It was really enjoyable to sit in the bay window looking out to have my breakfast.

Dear uncstravels, Thanks so much for taking the time out to share your experience with us.

We hope to see you next time.
"Business stays are always relaxed."
This is a home away from home, Raj & his team always go the extra mile. I received an upgrade to the refurbished rooms & they are beautiful. Didn't use the restaurant this visit but I have always found it great.

"Good location, great food, comfy stay"
Located close to the coast and some lovely parks, this is a lovely place to stay. I was fortunate to have a room with a view. The rooms are comfy and a good size. The bar and restaurant are great and the food is of a high standard. If you fancy somewhere different to eat, Pippies restaurant is across the road which is simply yummy. Take a drive to Port Fairy (20 minutes away) and visit Griffiths island for a simply beautiful walk.

Hey there garyrE4572WJ, We are thrilled to read that you had a wonderful stay with us and found our location ideal. We love our location too! We're perfectly located near the ocean and away from the busy main roads and a short walk to restaurants, cafes and pubs in town. Directly adjacent to our hotel is picturesque Flagstaff Hill and the Maritime Village and Museum, where you learn and experience the Shipwreck Coast's maritime history. Take a short stroll to Lake Pertobe, swimming beaches and breathtaking boardwalks. Thank you for the awesome feedback, we hope to see you soon:)
"Always excellent facilities and service"
Great bar and restaurant easy walk to main street wonderful staff. Travel through Western Victoria every month and i will cheerfully drive an extra hour from either direction to stay with Raj and his wonderful crew. If you are driving miles every day an early hour on the treadmill in the gym does wonders to clear the mind before breakfast. I stay at many country locations in SA and Vic this is my favourite motel.
"always great"
stayed here many times, and never fails to impress. always choose this hotel when im down that way. i will even stay there when im working over an hour away in any direction. the pleasant experience at check in makes it well worth the travel.
"History and Charm"
Selected this location as we wanted to experience some of the history of Warrnambool and a location close to the beach. Well worth upgrading to a suite. The room we stayed in was once part of the Harbour Masters house and had an Olde World charm about it with a beautiful fireplace (now for decoration) and timber work. The suite is spacious and clean. Raj and his Staff were very helpful. The location is very popular and was booked out the night we stayed. Fortunately we had booked well in advance. There is an on-site restaurant and room service is available. If like us, you have been on the road for a few days, the guest laundry was a welcome site. Rooms were very quiet - not located near a major traffic road.
"Clean and comfy"
This is a nicely situated hotel as it not located along the highway. It's a nice stroll to the city centre and also to the beach including Lake Pertobe. The service is really friendly and accommodating. They have a washing machine (free to use) and dryers ($2 per 30 minutes). The only recommendations I can offer to the management is maybe installing a higher set faucet in the bathroom, as we had cups of tea every day and struggled to fill the kettle. Overall very comfy and more importantly, clean.
"Great Hotel"
Had a great stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, modern, well equipped and very comfortable and clean. The staff were pleasant and professional looking after you all the time. Nothing was too much for them. You won't find better.
"Great spot and friendly staff"
Great for a few days break on the coast, sits next to Flagstaff Hill one side overlooking the gardens, lagoons, and the coast, excellent for walks, and just a block from the cafe strip downtown. Sensibly priced, it was full every day, the rooms were large, spotless and comfy. Staff were terrific and it has a nice bar and restaurant too. Great spot for scenic drives, Hopkins Falls, Logans Beach whale spotting in season, see the racehorses working out at 8am at Lady Bay, learn the story of Oddball and the penguins. We'll be back.
"Absolutely amazing."
Absolutely amazing. The location is perfect, and so is the room and cleaning. The staff is fantastic, very nice and very helpful. Big smile and warm welcome at check-in. The restaurant serves great food. Looking forward to come back.
"Great position very warm welcoming the rooms were spotless and a good size."
The room had everything you need and breakfast was excellent it was served the the dining room .the room had a beautiful big window looking out to the street and the position was easy to go everywhere. A very good price for what we had overall could highly recommend this motel.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn. The check-in/check-out process was friendly and easy. Our family of 5 had booked the 2 bedroom apartment. The decor was simple, but the apartment was beautifully clean and comfortable, and very close to everything. Would certainly stay here again.

Stayed overnight in Warrnambool at Best Western Olde Maritime again! The only place for me!! Recently refurbished rooms, with great facilities.

"Neat and close to restaurants"
We stayed in a suite, up two levels. Well appointed, reasonable value, plenty of room. The room was quiet, no noise from passing traffic. No issues but as with many similar places maybe could be spruced up.

"Basic but great service."
A little dated but clean and great service from friendly staff. If you include breakfast please take note that it doesn't open until 8am which was to late for us. The hot water tap didn't work in our shower so we made do with cold showers, I am sure they would have sorted it out if we reported the problem though. Also the TV didnt work but again it wasn't really an issue so we didn't bother reporting it. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

I just love this Hotel!!! Been here a number of times and it's always the same. Very Clean, tidy and spacious rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful and very polite. I So recommend the breakfast and Dinner in the hotel dining room! Delicious. Can not fault this hotel at all! Will be back again
"Staff were amazing"
Location was great, rooms were clean and warm, food was great. But the reason I'm making the effort to write a review is that the staff were so friendly and accommodating the whole time we were there. We had a few rooms booked as many family members were in town for a wedding and they accounted us all wonderfully.

The room we stayed in was modern and spacious, plenty of room to sort out our luggage. Very clean and comfortable. Despite being on the parking lot, it was also very quiet.

"I've been in more comfortable wardrobes"
I was booked in to the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn by my employer, and for some reason they booked me into a 'budget' twin single room (Room 11), while my colleagues were all in double and Queen rooms. Hence this review may not be completely fair, as I am used to a certain base level of comfort. Having said this, upon entering my room I immediately thought it must be some cruel joke, as the first of two single beds was shoved up against the front window, just behind the door, with a small gap before the second single bed started its journey along the adjacent wall to the other side of the room. Once I put my bag down I looked up to see the split system air conditioner unit directly above the pillow of the second bed, with its remote control tucked neatly into its holder, just out of reach of anyone unless you knelt across the bed and stretched out to grab it - from which point you then had to find somewhere else for it to live, to avoid the uncomfortable stretch every time you might want to turn it on/off or change the settings. There was no couch or chair, and the TV was just inside the door, so watching the TV was likewise a matter of lying on my bed and looking back past the door. The bathroom... where do I start? The towel rail was directly above the toilet and under a window, so it didn't exactly feel like I was getting a fresh, clean towel from the outset. To re-hang it to dry meant it was literally draping down over the toilet! Then there's the shower. It looked quite nice, but once I got in and turned the tap on, cold water immediately started dripping on me from the ceiling, right next to the exhaust fan. I couldn't work it out. It was like the water was gathering there for no apparent reason. Anyway, that's the main things. I don't mind cheaper rooms, but this one really felt like an afterthought, without much thought put into the layout.
"Excellent location"
Located just next to the Flagstaff village & maritime museum, this place is ideally suited for all such visitors who use the train option to reach Warrnambool. Though the rooms are somewhat dated,the amenities are adequate. The sraff is extremely helpful & the breakfast very delicious. Couldn't ask far more!! Highly recommendable. Udesh kumar
"Great place"
Stayed at this motel and was awesome service and room was nice and clean .the staff were friendly and made you feel welcome and nothing was too much for them to help out . Would definitely stay again .breakfast was yummy and was reasonably priced.
"Great friendly staff"
The staff at this hotel were very friendly and helpful. The chocolate pudding was to die for. Great location close to shops and wonderful parks. Only downer was that the bathroom smelt of bleach. It was very clean.
"Happy anniversary to us"
30 years ago we spent time on our honeymoon at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn, so as we were travelling down on this weekend for a wedding we thought we would reminisce and stay again. We came to do the parkrun 8.am Saturday, and the motel was well positioned for this, a quick drive to the nearby park. The staff were very friendly, everything was clean and well appointed. We ate in the restaurant, which was excellent, quality food, great servings (plenty of fuel in the tank for the 5km run.) The only annoying thing was the crunchy pillows... But I understand why, and it wasn't a big issue. Really centrally situated, easy walk to the RSL or any of the city restaurants, pubs or cafes. Lovely park lands and touristy things all easily accessible.
"Always made to feel welcome"
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and just love it. Rooms so clean, the Staff are so friendly and we loved having a cooked breakfast in the dining room each morning. So close to everything / walking distance to the beach and minutes to the City by car. I cannot recommend this Motor Inn more highly. Thank you for a wonderful stay
"Love Warrnambool"
Room was clean and the staff friendly. I love being a Warrnambool and the accommodation was within walking distance to the shopping precinct and the beach and Lake Pertobe. Loved being able to walk around and just soak up the sites.
"lovely!!"
We had a great stay in the hotel!! very clean, quiet and comfortable. The only advise is that the waiting time for breakfast in the restaurant is extremely long. More than an hour!!! It is too long for a family who have the day to travel to different places on the GOR. The breakfast was delicious but seriously for pancakes and omelets more than 1h waiting is way too long!!! The place where we had lunch we spend half of the time and equally good. Advise will be stay in the hotel but do not have breakfast in the hotel at least you do not mind to spend 1.5h in the hotel's restaurant when you are ready to continue your trip!!

We stayed at the Best Western over the long weekend (grand final). Jess (a staff member) greeted me with a lovely smile, and was warm and genuinely lovely. Couldn't have hoped for a more welcoming and enthusiastic attitude. The motel was clean and spacious. Our room was large and well appointed too, and close to the city sights. All up we loved our stay here and will definitely be back again soon.

"Clean, good location"
A nice place, clean, tidy and very impressive. Friendly staffs, beautiful views. The bathroom and towels was very clean, my children enjoyed with the gym's facilities The location was very close to the town Will come back soon
"Great location and nice rooms "
We stayed over for one night. We had also great breakfast included. The room is very convenient. The location is excellent The hotel has a nice restaurant were we eat nice dinner. The hotel has also a nice bar and fitness room. We enjoyed our stay in the hotel.
"Warrnambool a great place to visit"
Take your time to wander around all that Warrnambool has to offer and hopefully you will be as pleasantly surprised as we were. Lots to do including the old maritime village, fantastic walks with great views and don't forget the great food and wine, a perfect place to visit.
"Clean, comfortable and convenient"
Was referred to Olde Maritime Motor Inn by a friend who had stayed there with his family. Booked online, friendly welcome on arrival. Room was tidy and the heating was already on which was a nice touch. Stayed 2 nights - used as a base to explore the surrounding trout streams - will definitely return.
"Exceptional Accommodation"
On arrival we were greeted by the very friendly Raj who made us feel very welcome. The room was very neat and tidy and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower pressure was excellent and the towels very of good quality. The location was superb as it is close to town but also only a short walk from the RSL. Although we never ate in the restaurant on this visit we have previously had a meal there and it was delicious. Will definitely stay here on our next visit to Warrnambool.
"Great location great staff"
We stayed here as part of our Great Ocean Road holiday. Great location adjacent to the Maritime Village Museum and close to the centre of town. Rooms were spotless and spacious. There is a restaurant and bar on site so if you have had a long drive it is all there for you. However it is the positive, genuinely friendly and efficient service provided by Raj and his team that sets this motel apart. Highly recommended if you are in this area.
"Central, Welcoming"
Easy booking. Arrived and were very warmly greeted and checked in easily. Room was very clean, warm. Electric blanket on bed a plus. Great bathroom with good hot water. Easy walking distance to main shopps and restaurants. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, we had no problem asking for gluten free bread for my partner and decafe coffee. Would recommend and stay here again.

Awesome location! A very short walk to the heart of Warrnambool. The rooms were clean and well heated, left us with nothing but to enjoy our stay. The staff were very lovely and helpful. Defs a place to stay if you're planning a stay in Warrnambool.
"Lovely hotel and great location."
Room, staff and service was all really fantastic. Thoroughly recommend it and the in-house restaurant. Really close to Flagstaff Hill, the Maritime Village and Museum, Lighthouse etc., and only a short walk into the CBD as well.
"Short Break"
Last minute break away so had not booked in advance. Requested a standard room but was upgraded to a Deluxe room at no additional cost. Took the optional $10 breakfast which was excellent value. Continental and full cooked breakfast available.Room was clean with a table for two set in a bay window.. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel is located very close to the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village.
"My 2nd stay"
Again I found the the staff pleasant and inviting. Got to stay in one of the loft rooms, great set up with 2 singles and the double bed upstairs. Stairs not for the infirm. Window facing the ocean, shame it wasn't bigger. Great location and reasonable prices. Definite return, hopefully for longer. Great beer selection, see my post earlier in April.
"Fantastic"
Excellent service. The rooms are great. Very clean. The staff are very helpful. Iv been staying with them for 5 years. And we will keep coming back as long as we can. The restaurant is delicious. The sticky date pudding comes highly recommended.

Neat and comfy rooms with electric heater bed. Staffs are friendly esp. the receptionist who helped me to contact the car rental company when my car could not start up in the morning. And very nice breakfasts too!

"Wonderful hospitality "
Great hotel getaway perfectly located near the coast of country Warrnambool. Rooms were great and the addition of an in house gym and cardio exercise room ment I could get a pump on before hitting their adjoining restaurant for some fantastic breakfast to start my day. Plus the staff were lovely and with the addition of all you can eat breath mints in the main foyer means I'll definitely come back again and again!
"Comfortable Stay in Warrnambool"
As the name suggests, it's one of the Best! The rooms are literally mini houses and it feels like you're at home! Each and every room was clean, organised and spacious. It was also convenient with a local supermarket just 10 minutes away from the venue. The staff were attentive and all your needs would be satisfied. Would recommend any time of the week!
"Very Friendly"
Nice room, clean and well appointed. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast menu was exactly what we needed in the morning. Close to the Maritime Museum and Pippies restaurant. Convenient for the night light show there.
"Great stay and amazing value"
Only stayed the night but our accommodation was spacious and very comfortable, bonus: our bathroom had a spa bath. Great location as it's very near to the Main Street (walking distance!) and also has its own restaurant and bar if you're feeling lazy.
"A wonderful stay in Warrnambool"
A lovely relaxing time with delicious food cooked by chef Adam. The motel is close to places of interest including the beach and the shops. The motel is clean and the room we were in had plenty of room. A most enjoyable time.
"Mr. Michael Walsh "
A mate and I stayed there and we're treated like family by all the staff members we met and would highly recommend it. The rooms were clean and comfortable the restaurant is great it was cheaper to stay in this excellent motel than it would have been at a caravan pear in cabins
"Brilliant"
My recent stay for business purposes was exceptional. I was extremely impressed with the staff interaction and focus on us feeling at home. The options within the restaurant catered for all tastes, breakfast was old style country and the room was value.
"Great location and nice units"
Such a homely place. We stayed a night here and absolutely loved it. Central to the main strip of Warrnambool. The owners were so lovely and the food at the restaurant was delicious. Highly recommend staying there.

"Home away from Home"
Stayed the night at the Best Western in Town it was warm and comfortable, truly felt like a home away from home. The beds were great, the facilities more than up to scuff and the staff extremely kind and welcoming. Having the amazing Clovelly Restaurant and bar as part of the complex adds to the hotel's attraction. Would definitely recommend as a great place to stay when coming down to Warrnambool and seeing what amazing things they have to offer.

"Fabulous!"
Olde Maritime Warnambool is the perfect spot to stay, eat and explore this beautiful town. We are always so impressed with the warm service, cleanliness and delicious meals in both restaurant and bar. We always look forward to our stay at The Olde Maritime.
"Great location - clean and welcoming"
The room was clean and neat with good heating - a comfortable place to put our heads. The staff are very friendly, helpful and care - they genuinely want your stay to be enjoyable and comfortable. The 'common area' had a lovely, welcoming feel with the open fire stoked. Off street parking outside your room is very handy. I walked past the onsite gym but didn't go in (handy to know for next time) The premises is well presented and felt safe. As on in the upper end of town, but still a walkable distance, there is no passing foot-traffic or cars in the wee small hours so was lovely and quiet.

"Great place to stay"
We stayed one night 3 kids and 1 adult. It was no trouble to get an extra bed for 3rd child. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. Food was family friendly and the breakfast was superb. We found all the staff helpful and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will come back.

"Comfortable rest stop, charming restaurant"
We stayed just the night before heading back to Melbourne from our great ocean road trip. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable although the shower could do with a little more space. The location seemed fairly central although we didn't really head out given our travels. The restaurant was the highlight with an old world charm and Raj was very friendly at the front desk. In all a comfortable stop.

"Lovely stay, fantastic staff"
A short break away of 4 nights. Welcomed by warm, friendly and helpful staff. Room was lovely and comfortable and nothing was any trouble for the staff. Breakfast was included with lots of choices and cooked beautifully. If you wanted something slightly different from the menu - no problems and all done with a smile. Great position right across from the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum. Recommend highly.

"Bike Trip"
Absolutely amazing accommodation. After spending a couple of cold, wet days on our motorbike we were welcomed with open arms. We wanted to visit the Flagstaff Hill museum in the evening and couldn't have been closer. The restaurant was wonderful and the fireplace warmed my soul.

Hi there ljo86742, Thanks so much for leaving a review. We're absolutely thrilled to read that our team welcomed you with open arms upon your arrival. It can be tough when you've travelled such a long distance, a smile and a warm welcome makes all the difference. It's wonderful you enjoyed our onsite restaurant and bar.

Add to this a vibrant team who love what they do and it certainly makes for a comfy experience. Thank you once again for the feedback, we hope to welcome you back again soon.
"Very nice stay in Warrnambool."
The amenities and rooms are fantastic, the service was great and the free breakfast was a lovely start to our morning. We, unfortunately, booked for the wrong dates but were able to be accommodated to our correct dates, thanks to the staff. Great service by them.
"Very good acommodation"
The rooms here are very clean, offer good comfort & facilities with a really good bed. The Motel is in a great position with good access to warrnambool attractions. However, we really look forward to starting our day with a good breakfast & I have to say the breakfast here was well below par. Poached eggs (1 broken) on a slice of toast (hardly cooked) with bacon (kept in warmer to achieve a leather like consistency), 2 small sausages (obviously kept with bacon - very dry) , 2 hash browns which were great & 2 pieces of grilled tomato which were ready to draw the pension. . Very surprising for a place that obviously kept a high standard for their rooms, we would stay again but perhaps have the Continental next time!

"Very pleasant stay"
We stopped here for one night while passing through. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We were a bit worried at first because a guest in another room was having a heated argument with another guest and after seeing this happen at other motels we thought we were in for a very long night! The manager though had things sorted quickly and we didn't hear another word. Had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were enjoyable. Steak was a little pricey but we have since learned the price is pretty comparable with other places. It was still very nice, just we are just a bit spoilt coming from Tasmania where the same price gets very high end meals. Would definitely stay again.

"Outstanding!"
This was our second stay at the Olde Maritime Motor Inn and on both ocassions we have been really impressed. Raj and all of the staff are friendly and attentive and have made us feel very welcome. We stayed in a luxury heritage room - so clean and spacious, tastefully furnished with lovely linen on the bed. Bathroom is huge with a great shower. Breakfast making facilities, with microwave, are also available in the room. The on-site restaurant is fabulous, delicious food and an impressive wine selection. Overall great value - we will be back!

"Great overall...."
After a bit of a clumbsy check in for 6 of us i eventually found my room despite signage for room 40 directing me elsewhere. Room 40 is a house. WOW. There was a huge spa bath. The facilities are lovely. I recommend breakfast in your room as it arrives promptly with a smile and believe it or not it is streaming hot, tasty, loved and fresh. The site restaurant is good value and good quality. My only comment is the bathroom in my house had a residual smell that needs to be tackled. Close to the beach which has amazing sunrises.

Dear Andrea T, Thank you so much for the fabulous review and feedback! We are happy that you loved our spacious 2 Bedroom Apartment and took advantage of all our facilities.

"Between CBD and beach"
4 blocks from CBD, close to Flagstaff Hill and the beach. Nice rooms, the vanity in the bathroom could a bit bigger. Rooms that face the road do suffer from road noise and pedestrians walking past. The bar and restaurant are excellent with great staff and service; an unusual selection of more the 40 types of beers and ciders. Rooms 18 and 19, you can hear just about every action in their bathroom, had to close my bathroom door to reduce the unsettling sounds. Parking was tight for 4x4.

"Excellent location for anyone coming by train and sightseeing on foot"
Couldn't fault location; right across the road from Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum, 5 mins walk from park and about 7 mins from shops and cafes. Beach about 12 mins walk away. Hotel was very clean and has its own excellent restaurant and bar. Both the cooked and continental breakfasts were excellent and the staff were all very friendly, particularly the breakfast waitress. Was even offered lift back to station by proprietor, but even that is only a 15 min walk.

"Good hotel in downtown Warrnambool"
We stayed one night at this hotel after driving from Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road. The Hotel room was very clean, had great internet reception which was included. The staff at the hotel were very friendly. The room we stayed in included breakfast which was any item from the breakfast menu, plus coffee, tea or juices. The breakfast was well prepared and great. The only negative thing I have about this hotel is that we ate our evening meal at the restaurant and neither my selection from the menu nor my partners selection from the menu were all that great. I selected a chicken breast that was stuffed with cheese and something else. It came with a vegetable and a frittata and oddly it was served with beef jus. The chicken, frittata, and vegetables came in a bowl with beef jus at the bottom which was a type of beef boullion. It did not go well with the chicken. The chicken itself was well cooked though you could not taste the cheese stuffing. I started to soak up the beef jus and it did not taste great. The frittata also was swimming in the beef juice and was soggy and disgusting tasting. I did not complain as there was nothing else on the menu that appealed to me, and I was hungry so ate the chicken and part of the frittata. My partner ordered a past dish that was supposed to come with an alfredo sauce, mushrooms and chicken. It came in a bowl with very little sauce so it was a bit goopy and the chicken came shredded in the dish which as far as he said gave it an odd texture. I would have thought that the chicken would come chunked. He also said that it did not have good flavour and only ate about half of it. We had planned on having desert but since we did not enjoy the main course we decided to skip the desert. The restaurant did seem popular as there were some locals that came in but maybe it was just my north American taste buds that did not like the meal or we just chose the wrong items. Other than that the hotel was great, the breakfast was great and the service was good and I would stay here again.
"Friendly service, comfortable room, good location and lovely stay overall "
Lovely comfortable motel. Very warm welcome and friendly service from all staff encountered including at reception, bar, restaurant and cleaning staff - they were all helpful and welcoming. The room was clean and appointed as expected. Bathroom compact and clean - shower is small. We liked that they have a single shampoo/soap dispenser in shower and at basin rather than lots of little disposable bottles. There's is an on-site restaurant (Clovelly restaurant) where we had dinner twice - delicious food, obliging staff and family friendly. Children's menu had lovely choices and great value. Good location opposite (over the road from) Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village and quite close to Lake Pertobe park and the Warrnambool foreshore beach. Would happily stay there again next time we visit Warrnambool.

"Very enjoyable stay."
Stayed here for 4 nights with a friend to see the Maritime Village and night show as well as other attractions around Warrnambool. There really wasn't much to fault at all. The room we had was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The shower was great. Breakfast was included in our room rate and it was also great. Plenty on offer for the continental buffet and excellent hot breakfast. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We particularly enjoyed our breakfast conversations with Bec. Parking was easy as well. The motel was located across the road from the village, but town was only a few minutes walk away, as was the RSL. There are plenty of food options in Warrnambool. Most definitely wold stay here again if coming back to Warrnambool.

"Welcoming great service"
We enjoyed our overnight stay, the room was great and the dinner and breakfast were first class. To find a washing machine and tumble tryer after a long trip was great. The room was quite small, but more than adequate for an overnight. Highly recommend it.

"Great for Short Break"
Stayed here for two nights with a work colleage to attend a two day conference. Have stayed in Warrnambool several times and it is always a delightful place to stay. Shared a two bedroom apartment which was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. As a result we decided to purchase some brekkie foods and made our own before attending conference. The motel was walking distance to town, shops, conference and train station. Will travel by rail next time as more relaxing then long drive. Apartment did have a washing machine, dryer and bath so ideal for families. Motel does have and on site restaurant and bar which we didn't have time to try. Very obliging staff.

"End of the Ocean Road."
This Motor Inn was at the e d of our trip down the Great Ocean Road. The room was clean and tidy and provided for all that was required. There is WiFi throughout. The breakfast is either continental or cooked with a charge of either $20 or $10 depending on what you have. A reasonably good stay for the price.

"If you like "good service" this is the best"
I've never met an accommodating and kind person like Raj, the owner of this nice and clean Motel, in Warrnambool. I like to thank Raj because, in my stay at his beautiful Motel, the 22nd of January, he helped me a lot. I don't need to say how he helped me out, but what I can say is that I would like to find anywhere I go people like him and his staff. Again, thank you very much Raj and if I will come back to Warrnambool the Best Western Olde Maritime Motor Inn will be the place to stay again.

"Really nice people "
We turned up without a booking, all the staff were really nice, everyone interested in where we'd been and where we were from. Room was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and the food was great but make sure you are hungry as the portions are not small ??. It made a very pleasant end to a long a tiring drive along the ocean road. Would strongly recommend .

"Great service "
We stayed 2 nights on our road trip from Sydney to Adelaide. Bronwyn and Raj and team gave us a warm welcome and were happy to help with our planned visits to this beautiful part of Australia. Rooms, food and service were of an excellent standard. Can't go wrong booking here!
"Great experience in Warrnambool."
I stayed here for about 6 weeks on business. Great team, good location, great restaurant. Staff and owners were always courteous, friendly and professional. Restaurant great food and good value. Owner Raj is always around, involved and attentive. Highly recommended.
"Perfect in every way"
This was a motel that is probably like lots of other motels, the service though is top quality. Not only were we greeted perfectly on arrival and asked if we needed assistance with baggage we discovered all staff treated us the same. Stayed for dinner and the restaurant staff not only provided us with a beautiful meal and drinks they ensured the sun was not in our face and that we were comfortable, also asked how our meal was. The whole experience was perfect, will be returning for sure.
"Great location"
We stayed for two nights and while we enjoyed all aspects of our stay, without a doubt it's the people who make it special. A building is a building - but the people set it aside and make it something else. Our room was fairly standard Australian motel style, nothing special, quite compact but very clean and well presented. The bed was comfortable, nice pillows and linen; the bathroom was functional but was very much on the "squeezy" side. The bar and restaurant are nice space and Friday evening happy hour offered a bargain in comfortable surroundings. The location is excellent - close to the foreshore, an easy walk to the main town area, very easy to get in and out of; we were also pleased that it was nice and quiet. Highly recommended.

"A stay made special by Raj & his team"
My fiance and I stayed one night in January in a deluxe spa room. Having got engaged about 10 days earlier, my sister contacted Raj and sent through a card to greet us on our arrival. He looked after it for a week before we even got there and subsequently placed it (along with a little something extra) in the room as a lovely surprise for when we got there. He ensured that we felt special throughout our short stay and we cannot thank the team enough for a lovely, if brief stay. On a slightly more practical note, the room we had was large with a comfortable bed and all the amenities necessary. Plenty of parking and a good restaurant/bar in the main building made for a very enjoyable stay. Though Raj was obviously aware of our engagement we saw the manner in which he, and his team, interacted with other guests and do not doubt that all guests are treated equally as well as we were.

"Good hotel in loveley town"
Had a room facing the road with a bay window, but hardly heard any traffic. Comfy bed in tired, but clean and well appointed room that had plenty of space for cases. Friendly staff and lovely restaurant attached where food was great. Bar staff too are very helpful. Car parked outside of room and so handy in that respect. Well placed for walk round town with some interesting places to visit. short walk to beach areas.

"GREAT LOCATION AND SERVICE"
I booked my room on line, and for some reason I thought I had booked a room with two beds, but in fact had booked a queen bed room. I asked Raj if it was possible to change to a two bedded room and he offered me a two bedroom apartment for a very slight increase per night rate. This was perfect and I really appreciated his generosity. Our apartment was very clean, had lots of space and had everything we required. I have stayed here before (in two very nice rooms facing Banyan Street), as the location is excellent and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend the Olde Maritime Motor Inn.

"Great hotel, great staff, just don't book a economy/budget/small room"
We booked this hotel way in advance and Neede a room with two beds. There was only one choice and we booked that for a heavy price. When we arrived we were assigned room 11 and told it was nice and cozy. Well it had two separate beds and that was about it, no chairs, no table, no desk, nothing. We talked to the friendly manager and apparently we booked a room that had different names like small / budget or in our case econ. What apparently ment economy. We discussed this a little since this room was not listed and the website of the hotel. The manager addressed this immediately and offered us a free drink and a discount on the room. We slept well just had to manage space. The included hot breakfast was superb en cooked to order. So definitely go to this hotel just make sure you keep away from the small room numbered 11...

"A luxurious home-away-from-home."
Raj, Bronwen and their friendly staff ensure a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The rooms are large, bright and have ultra comfortable beds. The property is ideally located - an easy walk to the Maritime Village, the arts precinct, restaurants, shops, cinema and the foreshore. Port Fairy, Tower Hill and the Great Ocean road attractions are not far by car. This is a perfect place to stay and enjoy Warrnambool. My adult son and I really look forward to our mini breaks at the Olde Maritime. Pamela McIntosh
"Good hotel - booked Standard Twin Room - should have booked premium"
First - the Hotel Manager, Raj, was very friendly, welcoming and I appreciated the service received at the hotel. The restaurant service was great as well. A couple of thoughts: Breakfast was decent - not great, but good enough. Booked the Standard Twin room - we were staying for only 1 night as we were passing through and it sufficed. For more than 1 night, definitely go with a premium or luxury room as the standard twin is extremely small. I would definitely stay here again - location was great. I would just probably book a premium or luxury room first.
"Stayed with group - Great Service"
I just recently have stayed this BW Olde Maritime for 3 nights from end of the year 2017 through to new year 2018 with my group (13 people all Japanese). I have experienced to stay this hotel a several times. They are always providing us nice service. We took 3 dinner at Clovelly Restaurant which next to Olde Maritime reception. All the staff are very friendly and gave us natural smiles. I recommend to stay to take their Omotenashi!
"Luxury Accommodation"
Checked in on our way through to Robe and was a great choice. We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary so we were given a room upgrade to a Spa Suite. Was a lovely spacious room with a huge bathroom with a spa bath. Lovely friendly staff and great price. Would definitely recommend.
"Treated us well though we could not stay"
Raj the General Manager tried to confirm the credit card for our reservation the day we were to arrive. Our card number had changed since we initially made the reservation, so he could not confirm it. He tried many times to contact us the day of our arrival. Through no fault of his, we could not be reached, and being fully booked, he gave our room to someone else. We showed up that evening not knowing any of this. We were disappointed, of course, and don't blame him for canceling us. In any case, Raj went out of his way and booked us at the other Best Western down the street. And as our booking with him included breakfast, he generously offered to have us come back the following morning and have breakfast at his motel. When we returned for breakfast the next day, the server asked for our room number. We explained the situation and without hesitation, she told us not to worry and help ourselves to the buffet, and took our orders for the cooked dishes. We were delighted by their response and quality of the food. After seeing the gracious hospitality by Raj and his staff, I wish we could have stayed there!

Dear timezoner, Thank you for taking the time to leave a comprehensive review. We were saddened that we couldn't accommodate you due to being fully booked. Nonetheless we were pleased we were able to accommodate you close by and have you join us for breaky, it was the least we could do. Thank you once again for the feedback, we do hope you come back and stay with us next time.
"Good"
Sometimes this site really peeves me because I had cause to go to this motel on three separate occasions since August of this year whilst I have been in Warrnambool on business and each time each time was a little better than the previous time. This review relates to the second stay some 4 weeks after the first. We had to get very quickly settled in our room and then off to our dinner meeting. The reception staff made check in very fast and then after the meeting we were able to return for a quite drink and then off to bed. Comfortable is a good work to describe this motel and yes I would definitely recommend it. I'm back in Warrnambool in December, and I wonder if I'll have to wait to do reviews.

"Pleasant Surprise"
My husband and I recently had the greatest pleasure to stay in this gem. Raj and the staff were just amazing from check in through to check out. We enjoyed drinks in the bar as well as dinner and breakfast in the restaurant, the food was excellent but the best part was the staff, these people are the best. The room was also of a high standard and spotlessly clean. This is our must stay if we are ever in town.

We needed a room for four - two couples. We booked last minute over the phone the old fashioned way! Staff were lovely. Rooms where comfortable and clean. The bathroom was spotless and had a separate toilet. It was quiet and spacious. Well priced. Highly recommend for an overnight stay in Warrnambool.

"Amazing and we can't wait to return"
We stayed 2 nights in room 22 and had the best 2 night stay ever. The room was the Heritage Queen Room and it was beautiful with two stunning old fire places in there. The room was Immaculately clean, very spacious and quiet. Plenty of room to park in the car park. Raj on reception is super lovely and friendly. We have stayed in other hotels in Warrnambool and The Olde Maritime wins them all hands down. The hotel is walking distance to everywhere around town. It's the perfect choice and we would highly recommend.

"A delightful 2 night stay"
This Motor Inn is directly opposite a major attraction at Warrnambool - The Maritime Museum. We stayed in room 23 -a part of the "Harbour Master Suites. The room was beautifully renovated only 12 months ago and has a fresh new feel about it. There is no view as such. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets -very new. We had two breakfasts at the restaurant and only for it being closed, booked for a function on one night, we would have enjoyed 2 evening meals there. Our waitress Marita was a gem. The meals were 1st class. The motel is run by Raj and his style is of the type who never misses an opportunity to ensure everything runs smoothly. It was a pleasure to stay there and we will be back.
"Fabulous staff, fabulous place, fabulous food, fabulous service!!! "
Arriving with a colleague on a business trip, we were warmly welcomed . My colleague was quite ill and the staff couldn't have done anymore for us if they tried . Making us a reservation for dinner and taking our order and putting it on hold while my colleague visited the local drs. Provided a late checkout at our request so my colleague could rest before the trip home. We set up shop in the lounge area later in the morning so we could work until we needed to leave. Packed us a delicious take away lunch for our journey home and bent over backwards for us. The service at this establishment is nothing other than amazing! I have been here several times and can honestly say I have never been anywhere that provides service to their patrons even remotely close to this establishment. Don't go past this place , for accommodation, meals and outstanding service. I would rate 10 stars if I could ! **********

"Modern clean friendly - fantastic "
We stayed in the family rooms - in the fully restored harbour masters cottage. Room has a queen bed and dining area as you walk in, large bathroom to the left and 2 single beds upstairs in the loft/mezzanine. The welcome by Raj, the owner, was fantastic very friendly and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean. The queen bed was comfortable, pillows were a bit soft for us so we used our own. Children went to sleep with no problems and slept through. There is a small drawback with the room in that you can hear next door going up their stairs and coughing etc. couldn't hear talking. This didn't wake us or keep us awake. Had a lovely view out the window. Location was perfect for us, an easy walk to several places including the adventure park and beach which are 5mins down the hill. There is a toaster and plates etc in the room so you can make a basic breakfast as well as some real milk enough for some cereal and tea/coffee. So, for a clean comfortable modern well appointed room - definitely recommend.

"Brilliant."
One of the best Motels we have stayed in. The staff on arrival were extremely pleasant and helpful, the Owner/ Manager offer to carry our luggage in for us. The weather was not great so we ate in the restaurant, one of the best meals we have had on our trip, and the 2 waitresses Harriet and Jasmine, 2 extremely brilliant, warm and friendly girls, nothing was an issue. Truely one of the best places we have stayed. Will definitely be back.
