My husband and I had stayed at Castaways back in March 2007 (see my review from 2007 posted as the Improper Bostonian - long story, but somehow I ended up switching accounts). On our return trip along the Great Ocean Road, we rescheduled our itinerary especially so that we could make another stop at Castaways - this time for 2... More

We had such a fantastic time at Castaways. Immediately when we arrived we felt relaxed and all smiles with such spacious private accomodation situated on a hill overlooking fields and the ocean over Skenes beach/ Apollo Bay. The room has a lovely relaxed feeling with timber floors, large comfy bed, clean furnishings, generous basket of continental breakfast for two days... More

Stayed for 4 nights at Castaways - very relaxing. Echo-ing a lot of the previous comments, the location is great, and the hosts more than helpful getting you orientated, and helping if you need any advice. It is located just 5km from Apollo Bay. The comments in the Guest Book in the room sing praises I have never seen so... More

My partner and I stayed at Castaways in December 2008 as a first romantic getaway together. Having travelled all over the world, bed and breakfasts have to be a favourite of mine. Castways is everything you expect in a Bed and Breakfast and more. It is located a little way away from the actual town of Apollo Bay, making it... More

My husband and I stayed in this lovely place for three nights during our recent trip down the Great Ocean Route. We absolutely loved it. The views are just amazing and you can even hear the sound of the waves. The B&B has got two rooms, which are separated from the owner's part of the house. That means you have... More

Although previous reviews had given us high expectations of this B & B, the room we were given exceeded our expectations. We were lucky enough to spend 3 nights here, each morning sitting in bed looking out over the sea. The Breakfast basket supplied means that you can have your breakfast whenever you want each morning and there was more... More

Well, where to begin? A really relaxing and comfortable place to stay. Really loved the design of our room, which complimented the lovely ocean view outside. The room had a mini kitchenette area which allowed you the freedom to have breakfast when we wanted (breakfast being left in a hamper for us), and therefore Castaways could be used as a... More

Castaways was an excellent overnight stop on the Ocean Road. A house high above the sea has two B&B units built in at a lower level. ( See picture ). There are no other houses adjacent, so a quiet position. But if you like a little background noise step out onto the deck and listen the waves pounding far below.... More

My husband and I stayed at Castaways in late March for one night on our drive from Adelaide to Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road. We very much enjoyed our time at Castaways, and wished we could stay longer! Here's the highlights: * Amy was very accomodating in terms of arrival time and in answering our questions about the area... More
