Top Shelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Sandpiper Motel Apollo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and tidy, bed was comfortable. Location is 15min walk or 4 min drive to the main shops which is perfect. Great view from the room."

Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location on the beach front with easy access to all the pubs and restaurants within walking distance."

Casa Favilla B&B

10/10 Excellent

"It is a beautiful B&B, the owners are very nice, helpful, friendly, attentive and informative. It has a beautiful garden in the back and front. It's a short walk to the shops and beach if you want to go for a bit of exercise. The kitchen is well stocked and all thought out. It's a great place to stay and Apollo Bay is a beautiful place too."

Apollo Bay Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we had a good stay and the accommodation itself was very good. The property was comfortable and met our needs. However, the customer service and communication were quite poor. The instructions for collecting the keys were not clear enough, and we were genuinely worried that if we arrived after 6 pm, we might not be able to get the keys and access the property. This caused unnecessary stress, especially when travelling and arriving later in the day. Apart from the communication and check-in arrangements, everything else was good. We would just recommend improving the communication and providing clearer instructions for guests arriving after hours."
