We stayed in apartment 12 which has good views of the sa and the distant harbour, yes there is a petrol station in between the apartments and the beach but that makes no difference at all.
If you are looking for a base in which to stay whilst on the GRO then Apollo Bay makes a good choice and the Dolphin Apartments are probably the best accommodation in the area.
The Twelve Apostles are about an hour and twenty minutes drive away so you can easily drive there and back within the day.
We stayed for four nights during a long visit to Australia and this was amongst the best accommodation that we had. The apartment is very spacious with a large comfortable tlounge, with two large comfy sofas that might ven make into beds. There is a large screen TV, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This would be ideal for a family or two couples even.
The current exchange rate means eating out in Australia for visitors ESP from the UK is expensive. These apartments are equipped with full size electric cooker and oven, dishwasher and microwave. We were able to shop locally and to prepare delicious meals at a fraction of the cost of the local cafes / restaurants. This would be even more beneficial if you were travelling as a family.
There is also a full size washing machine and tumble dryer which we found very useful as we had been on the road for a week or so before arrival here.
There is a dining table for six people in he lounge and also a glass table nd six chairs on he balcony which s accessed via lage glass sliding doors
The beach is only a few steps away and it is only a few minutes walk to he local shops cafes nd bars.
The reception staff are very friendly and helpful, even lending me a charger for my iPad !
Yes they might be a few dollars more than some other accommodation but for the extra space, nice balcony , modern styling and location I thought that the Dolphin Apartments were good value. The weather wasn't great whilst we were here in fact it was stormy on day but we were very comfortable during th times we couldn't get out.
Parking on site too
There is fishing at the nearby harbour and you might gt to see the resident seal in he harbour which one what limits the chances of catching a fish!
I would recommend these apartments ESP. Apartment 12, e spent four great days here beginning of Feb 2012
