10/10 Excellent
"When you turn off the main road i assumed the villas were the ones near Chris’s restaurant they are not its a very hard right turn just after Turing off the main road .. The privacy and the views were outstanding and a great surprise compared to what we were expecting at the villas near Chris’s . No restaurant here but then Chris’s restaurant isn’t open all week . Great kitchen facilities and spa bath lovely large king sized beds with another twin bed room Just an amazing place to watch the sun go down and southern cross to appear in the night sky"

"It is a beautiful B&B, the owners are very nice, helpful, friendly, attentive and informative. It has a beautiful garden in the back and front. It's a short walk to the shops and beach if you want to go for a bit of exercise. The kitchen is well stocked and all thought out. It's a great place to stay and Apollo Bay is a beautiful place too."

Apollo Bay Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we had a good stay and the accommodation itself was very good. The property was comfortable and met our needs. However, the customer service and communication were quite poor. The instructions for collecting the keys were not clear enough, and we were genuinely worried that if we arrived after 6 pm, we might not be able to get the keys and access the property. This caused unnecessary stress, especially when travelling and arriving later in the day. Apart from the communication and check-in arrangements, everything else was good. We would just recommend improving the communication and providing clearer instructions for guests arriving after hours."
