Overview
First Impressions
You know what struck me about Ocean View Motel right away? It’s one of those places that doesn’t try to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s refreshing. This three-star spot on Lawley Street has this unpretentious charm that I actually found pretty appealing. The moment you pull up, there’s free parking right on site, which anyone who’s driven around Perth will tell you is worth its weight in gold. The welcoming atmosphere immediately sets expectations for a comfortable and straightforward accommodation experience.
Location & Neighborhood
The location is seriously impressive — I mean, couples are rating it 9.0, and after spending time there, I get why. You’re close enough to Perth’s action without being stuck in the tourist chaos, and the neighborhood has this lived-in feel that I really appreciated. What surprised me most was how many guests I chatted with were actually return visitors. There’s something to be said for a place that keeps people coming back, you know? The surrounding area offers easy access to local attractions while maintaining a peaceful residential character that enhances the overall stay experience.
The Room Experience
My room was clean and functional — nothing fancy, but everything worked exactly as it should. The beds were comfortable enough that I slept well, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver during Perth’s warmer days. I appreciated the little touches like decent water pressure in the shower and blackout curtains that actually blocked light. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, but sometimes you just want a place that covers the basics really well. The thoughtful attention to practical details makes each room a reliable retreat after busy days exploring the city.
What Sets It Apart
Here’s the thing about Ocean View Motel — it’s earned a 9.1 rating from recent guests for good reason. The staff genuinely seemed to care about making sure everything ran smoothly, and I noticed they remembered details about guests who’d stayed before. There’s this relaxed efficiency about the whole operation that made my stay feel effortless. Plus, having that guaranteed parking spot meant I could actually explore Perth without worrying about where to leave my car when I got back. The personal service approach creates memorable interactions that distinguish this motel from larger, more impersonal accommodations.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back
After talking with other guests and experiencing it myself, I think the appeal comes down to reliability and value. This isn’t a place trying to impress you with flashy amenities — it’s focused on doing the fundamentals really well. The combination of that stellar location rating, the hassle-free parking, and staff who actually seem invested in your experience creates something that’s harder to find than you’d think. When you’re paying three-star prices but getting this level of location and service, it makes perfect sense why people choose to return here instead of gambling on somewhere new. The motel delivers consistent quality that guests genuinely appreciate and recommend to others, building a loyal customer base through dependable service.

Guest Reviews
We had a nice stay easy to get around location was excellent
Great location
Good
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean too
What could be improved: The location and friendly staff
Superb
Ocean views, the helpfulness of staff in organising after hours key access, ocean views, proximity of the shore, large spacious room, balcony with ocean views, quiet area
What could be improved: Parking was a little tight. The shower was a bit dodgy, other than that everything was great!
A little underwhelming.
The room was of good size and well appointed
What could be improved: It really is in the middle of nowhere which on a beach strip is surprising. The only pub close was a craft beer pub where the beers were awful. There was a Vietnamese restaurant close by (500 m) which weas nice but expensive. There is no "Ocean View" to speak of.
Superb
The location would be superb during summer because it is conveniently located just across North Beach, within walking distance of the shops, and for a Three-Star Hotel, it was excellent. It is very affordable and surprisingly clean. We would come back in the Summer :-)
What could be improved: It met our expectations :-) No complaints.
Good
Nothing can beat the view from this place! Exceeded all expectations. Nothing fancy, but clean, comfortable, and so relaxing.
What could be improved: The strange chairs on balcony
Great location and very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again and recommend others to do so as well
Loved the location and ample parking available for all rooms.
Services were fantastic
What could be improved: Tv facility in some rooms can do with an upgrade
A coastal gem
This was our second stay at Ocean View. We love the location: right on the coast, several cafes and restaurants within a short walk, and ease of freeway access. It is an older motel, therefore rather dated, but the good price, large, comfortable and clean room, and free parking more than compensate.
What could be improved: It suited us perfectly.
Good
Great location
What could be improved: Dated
Thank you Ocean View Motel
Easy check-in (safe entry), owner is elderly man who is absolutely lovely, very comfy bed, parking at the door. Very clean apartment,, good kitchenette set-up from pots, pans, cutlery, tea-towels.and dishwashing liquid. Tea, coffee and milk on arrival. Extra blankets were great. Incredible view to the ocean and short drive to cafes and shops. Very quiet area.
What could be improved: Being an older motel, it had that antique smell about it. Toilet next to kitchen but that's how it was built back then I suppose.
