We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Apollo Bay and felt very welcome here. I was delighted to see the chicken coop just off the veranda and found they were really quiet and peaceful to have nearby. Julie included some nice extras which made our arrival feel that much more special. The bed was comfortable and the split system heater quieter than most. The pillows were thicker than most, so if you need a skinny pillow, best to bring your own (as do we). It was cozy and comfortable and quiet. The location is a short walk to the beach or into town. The mountain view from the patio doors was lovely to wake up to everyday. Tallie, the dog was quiet, gentle and friendly which is great if you're bringing pets along who are shy. A great little stay!
