Hi Laura sorry about your problem with bedbugs. We checked your room and did find bugs so closed off the room until a certified pest controller could treat the room . I would however like to point out that Bedbugs cannot be eradicated with normal cleaning. Bed bugs are brought into hotels & hostels by your fellow travellers usually attached... More

As a stopover on the Great Ocean Road, we booked a night at this place. Similar to some other reviewers on TripAdvisor, we were wary of the many negative reviews. I urge the rest of you who intend to stay here to lower your expectations too. What you pay is what you get. Each unit consists of 2 bedrooms, one... More

Thankyou for your review Justin Yes you are right you DO GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR so why do you then complain that you didn't get more. I am running budget/backpackers accommodation not a 5 star resort. As for your Few dollars more you could have had one of our 1 bedroom apartments to yourself . More

My husband and I booked a private unit at Apollo Bay Backpackers Lodge through "Booking.com" but as we only had our phones on us and limited internet, we werent too sure whether the reservation was processed or not. My husband rang the manager to double check the booking had been received however it had not. The manager was kind enough... More

This property offers a range of accommodation types. We booked the 1 bedroom unit which at half the price of a resort, was quiet, spacious, clean (for dated and well-used facility), orderly and very comfortable even with its own wood burning heater. Even though well-used, things were functional except the spa which looks in good condition but water restrictions ban... More

My boyfriend, my friend and I stayed there as it was one of the only places where you could stay for one night. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment that was well appointed. The lodge is conveniently located. 5 minutes away from the beach and across a supermarket. Unfortunately, the greeting wasn't the best as the owner had apparently decided... More

I stayed in the front apartment which was much nicer on the inside than I would have expected from my first look at the building. It's quite spartan outside, with the apartments towards the front of the property and the backpackers at the back. While the property didn't look overly flash, I had a nice grassy area in front of...

This is our third year in a row we have had a family holiday here and and have booked again for January 2014 demonstrating how much we enjoy staying. Two bedroom unit would have to be one of the best prices for this peak time of year in Apollo Bay. It is clean and comfortable, location is excellent for beach... More

Thankyou for your review. Let me say first it is always amazing to me that people who write reviews, with so called problems, score all areas equally when they may have actually enjoyed some aspects of their stay at an accommodation. I presuppose that emotions take over sometimes and if one area is thought to be bad all is bad.... More

As I was travelling the GOR I wanted a cheap overnight stop at apollo bay. This place was centrally located, cheap and rooms and accommodation were good. It was very quite so 3 of us had the run of a big unit which was great. Would certainly stay again.
