A delightful stay! Celebrating our marriage anniversary was made extra special by the thoughtful owners who left a bottle of prosecco for us. The accommodations were clean, cozy, and the staff was exceptionally friendly.

We stayed in this lovely spot right by the water for one night as part of a big road trip around Victoria. Within walking distance to the beach and restaurants/shops. Clean, warm room and we loved using the spa bath as well. Really friendly and kind owners. Highly recommended for Apollo Bay.

I stayed here a few years ago & it was brilliant then & I’m Happy to say it still is! I booked a room with a double & a single bed as I was traveling with a friend. The room was spotlessly clean & beautifully made up. Everything you could need for a short stay was there, tea & coffee stuff, towels, hairdryer & a really well put together compendium that helped us choose Casalingo for dinner. (A must visit!) The owner was really friendly & helped by recommending the redwood forest to visit to fill in time before we could check in. We loved the electric blankets, a nice touch as the weather was not great. We would stay here again, highly recommend. Across from the beach & walking distance to shops & restaurants.

Everything worked well for all three of us. We could walk to the beach in a few minutes. There are gas station, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby. We were happy to find out that the washer is only $1 Australian and dryer is free, even though we didn't need to use them.

Very welcoming and extremely helpful hosts. We had the larger sea view room with 2 bedrooms. Perfect for a small family. Super location near town centre and across the road from beach. Host contacted us to let us know we left something behind and even arranged to send it to us. Great service!

Lovely little establishment. Clean, comfortable rooms. Nice beds. Upper floor ocean facing rooms have a great view and close enough to the beach to be lulled to sleep by the roar of the bay. Very convenient to all shops, restaurants, beach and walking trails. Fast and easy check in/out process and free parking on site. Spacious washroom facilities. Would book here again.

The staff at Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn were friendly, knowledgable and hospitable.

Great place to stay. Hosts very friendly. Rooms are VERY clean and has everything you need . Beds are good. Also has a couch and table and chairs in ours and it still had plenty of room. I have a mobility problem and found the unit had everything I needed. Lots of hand rails and a walk in shower. Would gladly recommend this place and hopefully we will be back one day

Motel is very clean, spacious and does not stinge on the tea/coffee packs and shower accessories. Its location is best - facing the beach directly such that I am drawn to take a walk on the beach on that glorious day abd the early morning after. Highly recommended to stay here.
