Apollo Bay Hotels with Bars

The Apollo Apartments in Apollo Bay is a fantastic place to lay your head for the night. All of the apartments are fully self contained. Close to pubs, restaurants and shops and the beautiful Apollo Bay Beach across the road There is onsite parking available underneath the units. There is a lift if you have trouble using stairs. The staff never mentioned it though and just said where the stairs were. If you have issues using stairs this may not be the best place to stay if the lift was not available. Overall it was great value and a very nice and tidy apartment. You could easily base yourself here and do all of the Great Ocean Road touristy things.

We had a house layout for our family stay, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining room. A very cosy setup and very smart details, like heating lights in the toilet (it gets very cold in winter and the nice warm lights in toilet helps with the cold). The beds come with heating pads as well which is a great surprise. The kitchen was very well furnished and we love the warm lightings in the house. Great decorations in the house, makes me want to do the same for my own place. Just a very cosy, welcoming place to stay. Great for family want to stay more than 1 night. Location is at Apollo Bay town and just across the beach. Near eateries and groceries. The place is so welcoming that you simply want to cook and eat with the family. Thanks so much for warm reception and thanks for keeping the place so cosy.

Stayed 2 nights in a double room with king bed. Reasonable price for a luxurious room I would honestly call hotel-standard. Extremely spacious room and bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Entire place, including bathroom, was spotless. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Good wifi speed. Excellent location in town on the main street, close to all the shops and beach.

Have full set of cooking equipment and very spacious room, the tables and beds were clean and tidy. The hairdryer and the tablewares are not very clean. The view is extremely great, seeing a long shore coastline with spectacular tidal waves. It’s away from Apollo Bay, you may take five minutes driving with no streetlight to go to the nearest supermarket.

We were overall very pleased with our stay here. From when I rung with questions before booking online (& then booked over phone instead) to when we left, we were looked after well by Anna & another female receptionist (whose name I did not catch). Our room was very clean, in particular the bathroom, which was a priority for us. Basic modern room, which is all we needed. Location was fantastic. We would just all bring our own pillows should we stay again in the future to help improve our sleep quality, as although the beds were comfy none of us felt the pillows were.

My wife and I recently stayed one night at the Sandpiper Motel, Apollo Bay in a King Room with Hill View (and you could glimpse the ocean from the verandah). I would classify the motel as a typical Australian rural motel. The room was on the first floor and was very spacious and included a microwave, plates and cutlery. The bed was comfortable. There is a free guest laundry with a washing machine and dryer which can be used by guests from 08:00 to 22:00. The hotel still uses individual soaps and shampoos (rather than dispensers) and includes a smart bathroom mirror. An interesting touch is that all the linen is monogrammed with the hotel's name. Prior to check in you are sent a text advising of your room number and the room key is collected from an envelope (with your name on it) placed outside the reception area, so we had no interaction with reception staff. At $122 for the night we thought the Sandpiper Motel was good value and would be happy to return. TC

Good location, very close to the center. The balcony can see the sea, and the guest bedroom is a little bit cooler at night. Others are very good, recommend staying.

What a great find! The hotel is really very well located, with free parking available. Reception is very friendly and helpful with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations. The room is clean, spacious and tastefully furnished. The beds are comfortable. I find the management very thoughtful for eg. there's a beaker of water placed in the fridge to keep it cold and also empty glasses in the fridge to ensure that you really have cold water! Free wifi is also available! This is a good surprise considering that we had just come from a 4 and a half star resort which charges for wifi! The only complaint I have is that there is rubbish collection very early in the morning and the truck collecting the rubbish wakes us up at around 6.30 am. Otherwise the place is really quiet and yet walking distance to eateries.

We arrived late at 7PM and the receptionist gone. But they are very organised and no hassle at all. Love it. They left the message on my email, with a code number to take the key in the motel. They also left the phone number which I could reach to the receptionist directly. Room is clean, quite, spacious. Parking lot is easy. Love love love this place.
