On our driving tour of the Great Ocean Road, we stayed one night at this B&B. It is very quiet and peaceful since it is located high above Apollo Bay. The hot breakfast that was served was delicious. We went for dinner in Apollo Bay and had a great meal at the Vista Restaurant. The meal was better than the meal we had at a top rated restaurant in Sydney.

“Not great”
2
people found this review helpful
After a long drive to Apollo Bay, found the 6km journey up a steep track in fog quite daunting. We were met by a lady who didn't introduce herself who we found later to be the owner . Her first words were to ask if I wanted a massage! Room was fine, but needed a lick of paint. We had to make the return journey back into Apollo Bay to eat,still in bad weather conditions - perhaps they maybe could provide a cold meal or sandwich for such times when the weather isn't so good. The daughter made the breakfast next morning, she was a really friendly,nice girl.
Breakfast itself was poor.
Fog had lifted by the time we left, views were indeed stunning, but the b&b wasn't worth the trouble getting to it.

“A Little gem”

A marvelous small retreat high up overlooking the bay. The rooms are large and very comfortable and the staff very friendly.
For a quiet get away you'll find no better than Claerwen with plenty of wild life and good walks.
The long drive up the gravel road (6K)is a little daunting but the views on the way are worth it.
We would love to go back for longer.
