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 didn't buy any seeds and had enough fun just watching other people playing with the birds. I had read that Grey River Road is a good place for wild koala sightings so we got back into our car and headed up the road. The car behind us was in a rush and we decided to let it pass. That car drove up the hill so fast that it ran over one of the beautiful birds that had been sitting on someone's shoulder just a few minutes before. All of the bystanders and us were in shock! The car didn't stop at all and kept driving up the road. After recovering the traumatic death of the bird, we pulled over to the side of the road and watched a coupe of koalas climb trees. They are such natural climbers!

There are also several resident koalas high in the eucalyptus trees on the adjacent dirt road.

This is one of the only fine dining options in Apollo Bay - even with a captive audience, they do great to keep punters coming back! They have accommodation on site, though we came especially for dinner. For entrees we had mussels and the chargrilled octopus. The mussels were piping hot and delicious - the homemade dip on the side was super tasty! Chargrilled octopus was very tender, seared with tahini and a fun sweet potato and chickpeas combo. I had a seafood soup for mains - this was chock full of great seafood (including half a crab! Yum!) - the broth again was steaming hot - may have continued to cook some of the seafood in the bowl, but overall very delicious. M had the veal which was also pretty tasty. The chips on the side were average, nothing to write home about. Decent selection on the wine list of regional and Mediterranean wines, not many by the glass though. The view must be spectacular during the day, but at night there's not much to be seen. If you are looking for a fine dining option in Apollo Bay, give this place a try!

We had two of the sushi rolls - a tuna avocado and a crumbed prawn. Both were a tad too cold to really taste any flavors other than the nori and soy dipping sauce. We also order the steamed buns after our meal since we shared the pork ribs and the buns were okay - the filling was a non-descript meat - was it beef or pork? It had some chunky yellow onion pieces and was not terrible, it really did not have enough flavor. It lacked salt, scallions or chives or garlic and definitely was missing ginger. So that was the low point of the meal. We started with chicken satay which was fried (second time in the three weeks that we have seen that!) and it was almost crunchy, nicely seasoned and had a very tasty peanut sauce that was not too sweet. Our main was pork rinds with sweet sauce and it did not disappoint. The ribs were tender and well seasoned, fried again for service which gave them an interesting light crispiness. The sauce was delicious and we are all of it with rice. We saw some stir fried flat noodle and rice bowls going by and they looked great. Works highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys Asian food.
