Our five-day stay in Apollo Bay was fantastic, and Paul and his house made it so. The house is so well designed, has a lot space for two people, well-equipped, warm with the fireplace, very clean, and in a perfect location. It is about a ten minute walk from the centre, or a very short drive.
We thought the location was a perfect base for walks in the Otways. We especially enjoyed the Elliott River Loop, Shelley Beach and Three Creek walk, Mait's Rest, Melba Gully, and the Blanket Bay circuit.
We were there in the winter so did not try to swim in the cold ocean ;-)
You can also find a number of delicious meals in Apollo Bay, a number suggested by Paul. The Fish Co-op is recommended by everyone for a reason - so fresh and tasty!
