This was the only night on out 6 day Great Ocean Road Trip where we were disappointed. We had a 2 bedroom Villa and whilst it was clean and comfortable there was no room to swing a mouse in let alone a cat. It reminded me of a caravan. We were 4 adults with 4 large suitcases and hand luggage and this was spread out over the entire lounge floor. Thankfully only 1 night here. Apollo Bay as a resort wasn’t the best and after passing through Lorne earlier in the day, we wished we had stayed there instead. Overall it was ok, just not suitable for 4 adults.

The property is well located but is truly right on the Great Ocean Road. Very quiet at night and great views from the 2nd story balcony. You are close enough to the ocean to hear the waves breaking at night. Would recommend to travelers on the Great Ocean Road. Also - dining at Graze in town was fabulous 👍
