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.

We walked this beautiful stretch with our able and humorous guides Joe and Annie. Between the jokes was much interest and passion for the fauna and wildlife. We were even enlisted (willingly) to collect plastic flotsam from the various beaches we walked as part of a org that tracks the origins of the plastics and then communicates with the maker.

Back at the Lodge we were greeted with hot foot baths, could drinks( great to see local winery and brewery being supported), plentiful food and comfy beds. A peaceful location to sit out and enjoy the sounds of birds, mating Koala and the stars beside a log fire. Thanks to Ben, Anya and Lucy our lodge hosts.

This was not our first trip with the AWC, we have enjoyed all of the ones we've done. There is always a good and eclectic group of interesting people to meet too.

The rooms are so well designed that sharing a bathroom is no issue as they are huge and so well appointed. Food was amazing - thank you Anna ! Ben and Finn where incredibly patient guides, always encouraging, trying with such enormous energy to give us the best experience. Nothing was too much trouble. The foot spas at the end of the day with canapes and pre-dinner drinks - so wonderful and even a fire after dinner to sit around and just relax. Such caring wonderful people made it all worthwhile.

We were very impressed with the welcome at the Lodge, the lodge managers, the tour guides were very communicative and friendly.
Accommodation is well designed and luxurious and the setting is fabulous.
Of course the walks were beautiful and our guides prepared us well and looked after us along the way.
The meals are superb including cooked breakfast, packed lunch and canapés before each sumptuous dinner and one of our group who had dietary requirements was carefully and deliciously catered for.

Helicopter ride around 12 apostles is a bonus at the end of a great holiday

The Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is a fantastic 4 day /3night holiday with all food and drink provided! The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the staff - Ben, Anya and guide Darlene- were very accommodating and informative. The logistics of the walk itself were well thought out with freshly baked cakes for morning tea, delicious lunches and snacks. The gear is included with quality rain gear, back packs, walking poles etc. The foot spas with drinks and canapés at the end of the day was an inspired touch to ease sore feet. I would definitely recommend this holiday to anyone wishing to walk on the 12 Apostles track.

We have recently completed this wonderful walking tour and would highly recommend it to others.
We were in a group of 5 couples all strangers beforehand but the natural beauty of the walk combined with the warm and welcoming staff especially Darlene and Ben made for a memorable and most enjoyable experience.
We found the structure of the daily walks, the foot spa at the end of the day, the accommodation and quality of the meals made for a wonderful stay. We found the natural beauty of the Otways with its varied and interesting geography, flora and fauna made it a special treat.
The piece de resistance was the 15 minute helicopter flight over the coast to get a bird's eye view of the remaining Apostles and rugged beauty of the coastline.
We thought that it was great value overall and we are left with wonderful memories of the walk, the caring staff and the conviviality of the other guests.

The lodge and the team running it are great. Ben & Anja spoil their guests with great food and beautiful surroundings as well as invaluable local knowledge. Joe, our guide, was inspiring. The 4 days of walking were spectacular. All the hiking gear supplied was good quality and Ben literally thought of everything and was the most efficient organiser I have ever met!

We had a fantastic weekend on the 12 Apostles - Great Ocean Walk. The scenery was spectacular. Our expert guides were friendly and accommodating. They shared their knowledge of the history of the area and local fauna. The lodge is stunning and our hosts ensured we were well fed and comfortable - we didn’t want to leave! The foot baths, camp fires, local food and wines, waking up to beautiful bird song and the resident kangaroo family were a few of the highlights. Our group of like-minded hikers was so fun. Highly recommend this trip as a way to actively explore this beautiful area!

We enjoyed the walk. There were a lot of spectacular ocean views. The accommodation was great and the food and wine magnificent. We enjoyed one of the guides a lot. Unfortunately it was the other guide who did all of the talking. He seemed to just like talking and took up most of the voice space wherever he was, including around the table at the evening meal. He didn't seem to know how to listen or ask a question of a person. Each night he repeated blow by blow what we had done that day, almost as if he thought we had some cognitive impairment. We found his incessant attempts at humour tedious. He also made comments about previous guests and the management that were, to our mind, inappropriate.

From the hosts to the food to the accommodation to the walk every detail was catered for. Guides Jamie and Ben were engaging, knowledgeable (maybe embellished the stories a little at times) and best of all very friendly. Whilst the walk was demanding at times (very undulating at times) the scenery whether beach or bush was fabulous. The food prepared by Anja was restaurant class and the accommodation was very relaxing. Cannot compliment the team enough - made our stay very relaxing. First multi day bush walk for us and definitely not our last.

I’ve just completed a three day hike with Twelve Apostles Lodge and can’t rate this experience highly enough. Very comfortable accomodations, lovely meals (including the daily packed lunches) and a happy, professional team of staff made this a pretty wonderful adventure. Thanks to Finn and Annie for their safe and expert guiding and Pippa for her wonderful cooking and lodge management throughout the weekend. Anja and Ben should be very proud of the camaraderie that these three created on my visit.
