I had an enjoyable and very comfortable stay here with my daughter in July 2024. 2 bedroom apartment very spacious with a quality feel. The apartment was well cleaned (e.g. behind doors, in corners), presentable and comfortable. Appliances and furniture were good. The furniture was solid, good, and comfortable. The site is convenient to shops and beach. An easy review and recommendation.

As other people have reviewed a very clean apartment with all that we needed and handy for the local shops and garage in front meant no searching for petrol. We were on the top floor penthouse so we could see the sea.

The location of the apartment is very good, with the beach across the road and very close to the shopping center, a 5-minute walk. The service staff is very friendly and willing to help you with all your questions. I will stay here again next time I go to Apollo Bay.

Close to beach and park. Close to take away and dine-in restaurant. Friendly staff. They even provided an extension cord to charge the car over night for free. So I would come back to this place if we decided to stay around that area again.
