Beach Hotels in Apollo Bay

The room was clean and warm, with a small garden setting. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Breakfast included bread, milk, cereal, and fruit. The host left the door open for us due to our late check-in and offered a warm welcome in the morning. The location is great in Apollo Town.

Traveling during Christmas, everything was fully booked. I didn't have high expectations for this place, thinking it would just be an overpriced motel for the holidays, but it far exceeded them! So, I specially came to leave a comment praising this establishment. I booked a bridge view room, and it seems there's a big difference between room types, so I'm not sure if this review applies to other layouts. The room was very spacious and bright, with magnificent mountain views. The decor was elegant and meticulously arranged, extremely well-maintained, and clearly decorated with great care, absolutely five-star hotel level. All basic amenities were available, and despite being in a small town, it featured a full-sized bathtub with smooth water filling and draining. The owner even left two Melbourne-specialty chocolates for guests, which was a very thoughtful touch. After staying in a five-star hotel in Melbourne city, I was quite disappointed with Australian hotel standards, but this bridge view room far surpassed my expectations. I'd even say it's on par with the Park Hyatt! (Okay, that might be an exaggeration.) Anyway, I had a very comfortable night here. I recommend everyone choose this place when staying in Apollo Bay, and I'll definitely stay here again if I return!

A decent, very central hotel in the middle of Apollo Bay. Good value for money. Rooms are looking a little tired, and towels are in definite need to be replaced, but generally I was happy with my stay, and would come here again.

When I checked in, I had passed the check-in time of the hotel. I also lost the road and drove to another homestay (Google Maps is lost). Fortunately, Telstra's card has a signal. I quickly called the owner of the homestay. The owner of the homestay drove to pick him up in five minutes and guided him to the place of stay. The place to stay is a two-bedroom villa, which is fairly clean. The living room is large, the bathroom is dry and wet, and there is a washing machine, but there is no washing powder. A 10-minute drive from Apollo Bay is the biggest fatal injury, but the mountainous scenery is very similar to a national park,  suitable for people who live out of groups. 

Drawn in by the online photos and reviews, I feel compelled to give an objective critique: 1. The view outside the window is stunning, but the room facilities are quite average. The room itself is very small; the online pictures clearly used a wide-angle lens, making it look more than twice its actual size. 2. The room lighting is very dim. If you want to replicate those online photo effects, you'll need to arrive early in the afternoon. Mornings have strong backlighting, so unless you bring your own lighting for staged shots, forget about getting good pictures, haha. 3. The restaurant's food is just okay, not as amazing as online reviews suggest, but if your sole purpose is to get some Instagram-worthy shots, then never mind what I said. That evening, the server recommended a fish they had just caught, claiming it was delicious. To me, it tasted no different from frozen fish. Hmm, what can I say? For good fish, you're better off heading to Guangdong~ 😂

Lovely place and the bed have heater? You can switch it on and will have a warm sleep. Also have a mini kitchen with microwave which is very convenient to us.

We have stayed only for a night. We arrived outside check in hours so our key was left for us to find. The room was clean, decent and amenities were as advertised. However keep in mind that the bed was moving and a bit uncomfortable. We couldn’t sleep much. If you are looking for a good bed or need one, keep in mind.

Temporary booking, no expectations, thought it was very bad, the result was not bad; indeed the sea view, the boss is very warm, the room is very clean, it is relatively large, stayed in a hurry for one night, rested very well

Apollo Bay is the town where our family stayed the longest on this self-driving Great Ocean Road trip. Our family of five, two adults and three children, stayed in this cabin for three nights in a row. In addition to the beautiful scenery nearby, the most important thing is that it provides bicycles, boats, fishing rods, golf clubs, etc., and you can go to nearby courses. , play at the beach, we have fun every day! The owner Amanda and a friend of hers are taking care of these cabins. They are very nice people and can provide a lot of help to guests. For those of us living in domestic cities, burning wood in the fireplace to keep warm is a very interesting experience!

Even if you arrive late, you will receive a letter telling you how to enter the room, saying that the door is not locked, the specific location of your stay, and how to check out the next day. The location is very good, less than ten minutes drive from the puffing train, and the house is very cute.
