Lock in a great price for Tropicana Motor Inn – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Accommodation back a street from the Esplanade noise. So quiet, very clean, our room recently updated and continental breakfast included.

Paula, Australia

Great staff and excellent breakfast provided. We were very comfortable in our room which was a generous size. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed in our room. We would certainly visit again.

Fran, United Kingdom

We liked everything: the location in the heart of Cowes, yet, in a quiet street, the beach on the doorstep, hence, the fresh breezy air; clean rooms and bathroom; reverse cycle aircon; lots of power point; toiletries, tea/coffee facilities; the simple but sufficient breakfast components, delivered on the eve, so, no knocking on the door in the morning; extremely comfortable beds with crispy linen and spare pillows and blankets, and, of course - the friendly owners, Jean and Paul. We arrived by bus from Dandenong Station, and the driver "delivered" us to the door of the motel! The bus terminal is around the corner! So is the main drag. The three supermarkets - Coles, Woollies and Aldi, are within 6 minutes walk!

Larisa, Australia

The service by the staff was outstanding. Thank you

Sean, Philippines

I've been staying at the Tropicana as my go to motel for surf trips to Phillip Island. A very well run hotel. The staff surprised me by accomodating a special request I had.

Vincent, Australia

It was a clean and comfortable place. Very close to the main street where you can find all your needs to have an enjoyable stay.

Ali, Australia

Never stayed in a hotel before where the beds are so comfy. Very friendly greeting. Very close to the main street. Heaps of storage if your staying for a long period of time. Thanks guys will be back.

Just a great place to stay on a budget with all the creature comforts. Lovely and friendly care takers I might add.
