Apollo Bay Guest House

This guesthouse is superbly located with a view on the bay; very tranquil. The exterior looks like an old villa, perfectly maintained; the interior is the surprise: fully cladded in French antique panelling and furniture. The hostess was lovely and helpful in suggesting restaurants, sightseeing tips and things to do. The breakfast is adequate, even without a hot part.

Good: Good location 0.5 miles from the centre of town. Parking spaces. Easy access to the beach. We had the pink room which looks over Marengo Bay and has a verandah. Room is good, comfortable bed, good shower. Friendly hosts and good cold breakfast with toast available. Got a bit of a shock when it started raining in the middle of the night but soon realised it was the rain on the flat roof. Sockets by the bed. Not so good: Wi-Fi kept dropping out. Small tv in sitting room but not in bedroom.

The room was very small, with very stained carpet. Clean except behind the nightstand (necessary to go there for an outlet). The bathroom—tiny!! Breakfast was mediocre, lacking variety & protein. Coffee was great. Host was charming. View was great.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of February. We enjoyed it very much the only problem we had was the weather the second day but that is outside the control of the host but he had the rest perfectly under control. The guesthouse itself is wonderfull. You have a private space that consists of a bedroom and ensuite bathroom (with toilet). This space is not large enough to live in but there is a wonderful large living room that you share with to other guests. All the rooms are immaculate clean. In the shared living room are complementary chocolates and port (tawny) that you can use. We used it both nights and the used glasses were already been taken care of the next morning. The host is really friendly, We loved talking with him and it was always a pleasure to meet him. In the morning he prepares your breakfast. The breakfast is really good with lovely homemade muffins.
