Response from Gerard on Apr 14, 2024
Thank you Jean. I have been looking at a few other competing properties over the past week or so. Many who are at least as expensive as us don't even do breakfast these days, as they say that it is too difficult for a small property. I am sorry that not all condiments were filled up. We need to be on top of that and many businesses that we deal with no longer do deliveries these days. It's a pity but in a small town like Apollo Bay we can have that issue. Especially when the local supermarket can be out of supplies as well. Today I couldn't buy bananas at one supermarket because they had run out, but at least the other place had a small number left.

Just a short walk to the town center, this B&B was perfect for us -- a friendly, chatty host, a good sized room with its own little porch area, and nice amenities.

A Nice place to stop on the way to Port Fairy.
Nice place in a nice town. Just one night as we were passing thru. Owner is very nice and personable. Only complaint is that we could hear a lot of rustling about coming from above and from other guests.

This is a beautiful home and small bed and breakfast. Our room was large, luxurious and extremely clean with a huge ensuite. The shared living room was elegant, large and comfortable. Apollo Bay is a wonderful town on the Great Ocean Road with all amenities. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Jared was very friendly, had a lot to say and you could ask him anything. Parking was a bit cramped and awkward, the main room/kitchen was really cold but thankfully had independent heat in the room. The port and chocolate was a nice touch but please invest in a new toaster! Great place to stay

Convenient and clean B&B!
Gerard is a super friendly and welcoming host. The B&B is very conveniently located only a 5 min walk away from the main shopping street. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There is a very well stocked kitchen with a plethora of continental breakfast options. Parking on the property / just off the sidewalk was a breeze. We would certainly stay here again! Thank you Gerard!!

Owner was friendly and accommodating. Great location and cleanliness of room and house. Breakfast options were okay- continental type breakfast you make on your own. Good fresh fruit options. Not so good was the condition of the bed and the pillows. Need new mattress and new pillows. Both were lumpy and we didn't sleep well.

The whole building is beautiful and very clean, friendly host. Only issue the noise upstairs from the owners was a little loud at times. In saying this, it is an ussue with alot of accomodation sites where the owners or operators live in the same building..
