I didn’t like the noise of the balcony door opening upstairs. It sounded as though large furniture was being moved. The guests used it a lot, though it was cool weather.

We only had a short overnight stay on our trip along the Ocean Road. We arrived quite late but communication with ghe staff for a late check in was excellent and we had no problems getting into our room. The room was spacious with breakfast making facilities and a small fridge. The location is great for a stop along the Ocean Road as Apollo Bay has its own lovely beachfront, restaurants and cafes.

The property was with view of the sea and less than 5 moon walk to the beach or nearby grocery store. Other shops not much further. Everything was nice and clean and there were tea making facilities with green tea and English breakfast tea as well as Italian freeze dried coffee. The shower was good.
