“We’ve stayed at the Mollymook Ocean View Motel twice now and both visits have been excellent. The rooms were spotlessly clean on both occasions, and this time we were pleasantly surprised to find the rooms had been refurbished, which made the stay even better. On arrival, we changed our mind about the room we’d booked because we wanted a balcony and sunrise view, and Rochelle handled it effortlessly—no fuss at all, just genuinely helpful service. She’s always friendly and welcoming, which really sets the tone for the stay. On our previous visit, we were also given great local advice, including perfect sunset spots and excellent nearby dinner options (the local pizza recommendation was a winner). It’s those thoughtful local touches that make this place stand out. We’ll definitely be back and happily recommend the Mollymook Ocean View Motel to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for just being the management at Mollymook Ocean View Motel and that we were fortunate enough to discover your establishment.”
“This motel in Ulladulla is an absolute gem! Rachel and Riam, the owners, go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and at home. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the essentials you need for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect — close to the beach and local attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Ulladulla. What really makes this place stand out is the personal touch from Rachel and Riam. They are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with tips about the area, making the stay feel warm and personal. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-run motel with great hospitality, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend for families, couples, or solo travelers!”
“Right from the very first phone call I made to the Motel , Rachelle was very kind, helpful and wanted to and did cater to our needs. I then had some ongoing problems with my health and we had to make some changes to our holiday over the Christmas break and Rachelle was very understanding, kind and supportive, I can't thank her enough. My partner and I will be definitely staying there in the new year purely because of her kindness.”
“Really great comy room . Some supberb simple attention to detail. Ie 4way power switched socket on both sides bed . Touch lamps. Fresh stocked tea and coffee. Comfy mats next to bed. Tasty biscuits in room . Adequate bathroom supplies On Top of super helpful re bookings when I phone and email through with queries”
“Rachelle as always is very professional and cooperative. The rooms are clean and tidy. My check in after 8 pm, Rachelle waited for me till I have arrived.”
“We had a great stay here. The room was very clean and well maintained but retains its mid century character. Best value room with ocean views in town. Dont listen to the other bad reviews. They are obviously just people who didn't follow the rules. The staff are friendly but quite strict about the house rules. Make sure you check the house rules before you book to make sure this place is suitable. Was nice and quiet and relaxing being over 18 only. Dont expect a 5 star hotel. This is a highway motel after all. But very well run and great value at under $200 for a sea view room in the middle of school holidays at short notice!! The only thing was the pillow was a bit thin but wasn't a deal breaker. This place still deserves 5 star on the balance of everything. Thanks for a great stay. We will be coming back for sure. Only a 3 minute drive to the beach!”
“What a wonderful stay we had for 3 nights. The room was very clean and comfortable with modern furnishings and everything we needed. The service was friendly and helpful. The ocean view room was awesome as we gazed over the pool and wonderful ocean at Mollymook Beach. Highly recommended at a very reasonable price. Thank you kindly for a pleasant stay.”
