Yeah, it is actually a pretty cool place to stop off at on a drive, though it is also pretty touristy, though I'd suspect that the touristy aspect comes from the regulars that come down here on the holidays. However, I did find that the service was great, and the selection of beers pretty good as well. Oh, and they have an awesome balcony with some great views. Definitely a pub to check out.

We started with the soup of the day, spicy lentil/garbanzo/lamb. Delicious! then my partner ordered the fish of the day, and I had Thai duck. WOW! Highly recommend the food. Atmosphere was casual and comfortable and the staff was friendly and a bit chatty! Make sure to stop here !

Do not let the exterior fool you, this is NOT your average motel - or what we would think of as a…read moremotel it's been years and years since we have been in one. Lovely clean, fresh, newly updated interiors with large spacious bedroom, a firm mattress (which we love) separate kitchen area and good sized bathroom with shower & plenty of pressure - woot woot. Coffee and tea provided as well as plates, bowls, utensils, mini-fridge and microwave etc The interiors of the room have brick on both sides and wood style floors. It really was very nicely done. This is a Mom & Pop establishment so you must check-in before 7pm, so if stopping here on a 2 day tour of the GOR as we did, make sure with your tour director, that they will have you there in time.

The room was actually really nice, and I did get a pretty decent sleep as well. I probably wouldn't recommend coming here during high season, or if you do make sure you book ahead, however my luck probably had more to do with me arriving in the middle of winter during the working week as opposed to any other time. Oh, it's also pretty close to conveniences as well.

He helped us see sights we wouldn't have which added to our experience. It's the way a person in customer service should act! Would recommend staying because of that

Had a pleasant stay at the Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn. We arrived at a little late (8 PM) and…read morethe reception office had already closed but there were clear instructions on how to get our keys to enter our room. The room featured a queen bed, a twin bed, a small kitchenette, and a clean bathroom with shower. The kitchenette had a microwave, utensils, plates, and salt and pepper. The utensils came in handy to cut up some of Australia's delicious mangoes we had bought at the supermarket. The Inn is just blocks from the main city center. Apollo Bay features a couple of grocery stores (IGA, Foodworks), a few coffee shops and cafes, and a brewhouse to grab some local beers and wines.

Secluded and equiped with everything you need for a romantic weekend away. Alan the owner was very helpful and friendly and communication before we arrived during and after was very easy. The little touches in the home made it that much cosier and relaxing. Fresh flowers in a few places, bottle of champers, chocolates, continental breakfast. Thinking back on it makes me more relaxed! All kitchen facilities, bbq, deck, fire place, spa, two shower heads in the shower (a bonus when the partner loves boiling hot water and I enjoy warm but enjoying the company at the same time!). There's also a massive king size bed. I sort of wish I lived there but also having the same exact layout and everything in the city! Worth the splurge and indulgent weekend with your partner.

Christmas cake was a great way to end the meal. Somehow all of this delicious food came out really quickly too. Ambiance is super cute and cozy. And you can see glowworms after. 10/10 would recommend.
