20. Please be aware that Apollo Bay usually experiences mild summers, making air conditioning generally unnecessary. However, winters can be quite cold. As a rural town with a limited power grid, power outages are common, and the system cannot handle multiple small portable heaters running on high settings without tripping the power. Guests are encouraged to be mindful of this and bring plenty of extra warm clothing when traveling in winter.

Fabulous accommodation
We stayed for the Great ocean rd marathon weekend, prices were at a premium but this property was worth it. A great location, very warm and clean and was generously equipped with everything you could need. More than most holiday rentals. The photos do not do it justice. We would definitely stay there again. Also the agents Otway Retreats sent very timely, helpful, professional updates. Their check-in was seemless unlike my experience at multiple other great ocean rd towns. Thanks for a great stay ☺️
