HazrevAs a tourist, I wasn't sure where is the entry point to the inn but managed to find the entrance after driving around. The inn is really well situated near the main road and the sea. I wish that we could see the sea fully but some areas were covered by trees.
The room was cozy and reminds of an American inn. They had a warmer in the toilet which is beneficial during the winter season. We had a pleasant stay even though it was only 1 night as we had to drive off back to Melbourne and the parking is free.

Guest UserAmazing experience — the digital firepit, jacuzzi bathtub, and heated soft bed were a real highlight of the motel we stayed at by the sea. There's also an adjoining bar with... A genuine summer cabin feel by the sea — one of the highlights of our Australian tour!

Guest UserI stayed for one night. There were two shower stalls and two toilets, and the toilet area was quite clean when I arrived. If you're concerned about hygiene, you can bring some wet wipes to clean it yourself. The biggest letdown was the insufficient water pressure in the shower; it took some time for the hot water to come on. The women's restroom had a hairdryer, but no toiletries like shower gel, so remember to bring your own. Using the Apple Wallet card for entry and exit at the hostel was very convenient. Checking in required downloading an app, which took a little time, but overall, it was quite convenient. Charging from the bottom bunk was easy, as there's a power outlet by the bed. Remember to bring a lock for the locker; it's best to get a slightly larger one. It's very close to the bustling area with many restaurant options. There's also a supermarket where you can buy locks and food, though water might be a bit more expensive. I think there's another supermarket a bit further away.

Guest UserThe room was very clean, and the deposit was refunded super promptly! I checked out that day and received the refund that same evening! It also came equipped with kitchenware, and the location is excellent, just a three to four-minute walk from the main street. Award-winning ice cream, a Chinese restaurant, and a supermarket are all within a five-minute walk. I highly recommend everyone try the Wonderful Restaurant! The Cantonese chef's cooking is delicious! The fried rice and stir-fries have that amazing 'wok hei' (wok-fired aroma), and the proprietress's beef brisket rice is generous and tasty! I also tried the ginger and scallion kangaroo, which was incredibly tender!

Guest UserThis was my second stay here. Three years ago, I stayed in a sun-drenched cabin on the slope overlooking Apollo Bay, and I even saw a rainbow – I absolutely loved it. This time, I stayed in a beachfront room, which was closer to the sea. I heard the sound of waves all night, which took some getting used to. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to reconsider this room type. However, if you're traveling with family, the Sunshine Room is a no-brainer. The hotel rooms, facilities, and the surroundings are all fantastic. The view outside the reception is incredibly picturesque, and there are even alpacas!

oliviachenzwWe are a family of 8, and we rented the entire unit, both downstairs and upstairs, for our stay. The weather was cold during our visit, but the beds were equipped with heaters, which made for a very comfortable night’s sleep.
Each floor has its own bathroom and kitchen, which was incredibly convenient for our large group. The bathrooms came with basic toiletries, although there was no toothpaste provided, so be sure to bring your own. The kitchens were well-equipped and functional, with simple seasonings like salt and pepper. We brought our own cooking oil, but everything else was perfect for preparing warm meals for dinner and breakfast.
The homestay is located in Marengo. One thing to note is that there are no supermarkets in Marengo itself, but Apollo Bay is just a few minutes' drive away. We recommend stocking up on groceries there before arriving if you plan to cook during your stay.
Parking was more than sufficient for our Kia Carnival 8-seater, so we had no trouble with that.
The area is wonderfully quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing, peaceful getaway. We had a truly pleasant stay here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spacious and comfortable place to stay.

**per1023The hotel was very clean and well furnished with bowls, plates, tea set, fridge, microwave and a smart tv. The towels were very soothing, toilet and room spacious and the heater worked very well in the winter. The patio was also clean and nice despite being open air .
Well furnished and very good. The pictures are from after our stay so the untidyness was from me.

This was a good stopover on our Great Ocean Road trip. The room had a great view of the ocean. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, with strong winds and rough seas the day we arrived. Apollo Bay has plenty of food options, so you don't need to worry about finding a meal when driving yourself. My only complaint is that I didn't see any hotel staff during our entire stay, so the service was practically non-existent. Also, parking in the courtyard is quite limited.

DanielDong0108We booked a two-bedroom suite, which was actually two separate rooms connected, and having two bathrooms was a definite plus. The location is right in the town center, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. There's an underground parking lot, but the entrance is a bit tricky to find; you'll need to slow down and look carefully as you approach. Check-in was handled by a handsome Chinese guy, which was a nice touch 😋. On the downside, the living room floor was a bit slippery, the lighting in the room was a bit dim, and the bathroom was a little cold at night. The picture is of a nearby burger joint, which was quite good!

After reading the reviews I was pleasantly surprised by this hostel! It was a quaint little place, with a homely feel. The location was great, only a 12 minute drive from Apollo Bay, with a waterfall around the corner and an empty beach a 5 minute walk away! There’s farm animals around to look at, the place was clean and tidy, with a decent kitchen and communal areas.
It is completely self-checkin and we saw no staff while there so be prepared for that! Overall, for the price, I would definitely be rebooking a stay here.
