We only had a short overnight stay on our trip along the Ocean Road. We arrived quite late but communication with ghe staff for a late check in was excellent and we had no problems getting into our room. The room was spacious with breakfast making facilities and a small fridge. The location is great for a stop along the Ocean Road as Apollo Bay has its own lovely beachfront, restaurants and cafes.
