I gave this place five stars for everything -- if I could have, I would have given extra stars for location (across the road from the beach, towards the town end of the beach which is a bit calmer). And a few minutes stroll (at max!) to cafes, supermarket, etc.
Apollo Bay has a fabulous beach, great for body surfing or just wading (at the town end) -- and of course good for star gazing, a bit away from the town lights.
The place was perfectly clean, checkin clear, the couple of queries we had were answered straight away. A really lovely few days out of Melbourne.
