Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I can't really put into words how incredible 12 Apostles Secret Spot is, but I will give it a go.

My best friend and I arrived at 12 Apostles in February before the world turned upside down. First, the place is absolutely stunning. Incredible views, big comfy beds, enticing verandas, and practically on the doorstep of the 12 Apostles - easily one of the most beautiful destinations in the Australia, if not the world.

All of the above make this destination a must stop on your Great Ocean Road adventure. However, what truly made this place so special was the absolutely wonderful host, Robyn. Reading the many reviews that reference this incredible lady is testament to not only her fantastic hospitality, but her infectious and wonderful personality. Sharing a great meal together and putting the world to rights as we sipped wine and took in the jaw dropping surroundings was a memorable experience that money just can’t buy. As soon as lockdown eases, do yourself a favour and head on down to 12 Apostles Secret Spot – you won’t regret it.

A must see if travelling the Great Ocean Road. Well laid out paths lead you to breath taking look outs giving you a great view of the 12 Apostles. These wonders stand out amongst the beautiful blue waters on amazing coastline. It’s an amazing experience.

Visited there on a nice day in December. Beautiful scenery and even though the twelve are not there anymore it still has amazing views of the ocean and what is left of the apostles. Definitely worth a visit to this iconic place on the great ocean road

We have stayed in hundreds of pubs ans B & B's across all states of Australia and none compare with 12 Apostles Secret Spot. Your host, Robyn, is a such a gem, from the moment you meet her it is as if you have known her your whole life. Her culinary skills would easily extract a 10 from the MKR judges. The location is well it is as if you are living on a cloud as you look down on the southern ocean 4 kms away..to awake in the morning to the distant roar of the surf coupled with the rustling leaves makes you regret you did not plan to stay longer. The walks and vistas will invigorate you while filling your camera film with stunning shots. The many and varied activities a short drive from the secret spot demand more than one night in the best B & B in Australia so as to fit all the great activities in.

We stayed at this bed and breakfast one night, during our trip down the Great Ocean Road.
It was just amazing and Robyn is fantastic. She was welcoming us very friendly and explained us all things around the area and gave us some tips where we could have a look around. Her breakfast in the morning is wonderful and really yummy. The decoration in the rooms is very nice and unique. Robyn has just a wonderful place, and she arranged it very well.
We would definately stay again, if we are in the area again some day. Thanks so much Robyn.

My husband and I spent two nights here after a conference in Lorne. It was absolutely delightful in every way - beautiful, clean, comfortable room with private verandah, lovely garden from which to watch sunrise, sunset and stargaze, and a fabulous cooked breakfast. Robyn was a superb host, warm, friendly, and really good about directing us to the activities that we would like. She helped us plan our two days there and even helped us do a hike by driving us to the end so we could leave our car there and then taking us to the starting point in hers. We have been recommending the place to our friends and colleagues in Melbourne and we hope to return for a longer visit some day.

My husband and I stayed for one night on our drive around the Great Ocean Road. Wish we stayed for longer! Very convenient location - 5 min drive to the 12 Apostles, meaning you can get up at the crack of dawn and go see the 12 Apostles/Gibson's Steps etc. without the crowds. Due to the lack of light pollution, you get amazing views of stars on a clear night. Robyn went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Her gourmet breakfast was made with fresh ingredients from her garden, including eggs that her own hen hatched! We loved the peaceful tranquility of this place, and loved even more our time chatting with Robyn over breakfast. Make sure you e-mail/book ahead, and note that it's cash only.

Absolutely breathtaking! There are only 8 now but still awesome! Lovely walks to see them from different angles. Be careful & observe safety notices of sticking to designated foot paths as the cliffs are crumbling & can fall away. It is a very busy tourist area with multiple tour buses. We went on a tour....The Great Ocean Road tours with Wildlife Tours who I would highly recommend. Must see if travelling to Victoria.
