Best Western Apollo Bay Motel

A very clean, tidy and well presented facility. Very close to cafes, shops, beach and everything else.

When compared to other similar accommodation on our extensive driving holiday, the cost was very high. In fact it was the most expensive overnight accommodation on our whole trip. We are mindful that this may be due, in part, to our staying on a Saturday night on a busy weekend, however we felt the rate was higher than expected.

This was the second time I’ve stayed here. It’s a little gem, perfect location next door to the pub (which is not loud at all), IGA, and of course, a hop skip and a jump across the road to the beach. The staff have been friendly and accommodating both times. The rooms were nice and clean. We stayed in room 24 which is a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, induction stove top, reverse-cycle aircon, Hisense fridge, kitchen table and chairs, lovely lounge room with a wall-mounted huge flatscreen tv, featuring Netflix, YouTube etc. Very nice bathroom with a large modern shower, fresh white towels, a big mirror and toiletries presented nicely. The bed was very comfortable as well as the pillows and the convenient bedside lamps and tables. There was ample space to store my belongings and some nice beach and forest photos of the local area hanging on the walls. I liked the shared balcony and the handy ash trays on the railing. The swimming pool requires bravery. It’s cold, and so is the spa but if you just bite the bullet and jump in, it’s not so bad.

Great location, 2 cafes opposite the motel, food options, pub, groceries and the beach is just round the corner down the street, very friendly staff, there's a clothes drying rack provided, heated blankets provided, fast WiFi

the washing machine wasn't working so had to cross the street for the commercial laundromat (which costs the same as that at the motel), the rubber padding on the chairs' legs had worn out so it's pretty noisy

Location is ideal in middle of main street with proximity to eateries and beach. The manager was very helpful and friendly and I enjoyed chatting to him. The room was clean and well equipped with everything we needed including ample supplies of tea and coffee.

We loved our short stay here and could find no fault with our ground floor apartment.

Very easy check-in, so close to the beach and IGA, as well as restaurants in Apollo Bay. Beds were comfy and bathroom was newly renovated. Kitchen had everything we needed for our two night stay. Parking available on the premises and outside as well.

Though we didn't make use of the pool, it looked a bit green. Car park was a little narrow. Couches and kitchen furniture were a bit outdated - not deal breakers though!

First time I've stayed actually in Apollo Bay for 67 years, a location I've driven and walked past numerous times which proved extremely convenient for the locations I needed to get to and from in less than 23 hours of a wet winter weekend. Everything just worked save for login to my Kayo account via the smart TV which instead got me to my preferred pub a block away both for a meal and to watch the footy while hearing a singer guitarist rather than moronic TV commentary.

I could have survived in a lot less.

The room was cosy and clean. Apparently they sanitize everything because of Covid. The room has a huge television screen and I like that the room has bed heaters. It really helped especially during winter. The place was conveniently located opposite a laundromat so that's very convenient too.

I found the room I got a little too small to maneuver in. And there was this sound of pipes from the rooms beside mine. I know whenever someone uses the toilet in the other rooms.

The location is great—right in the center of the town. They’ve got free, spacious parking spaces in the courtyard and outside. That was good. The room and beds were quite spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and pleasant too.

The building looked a bit older than it appeared in the pictures. For a one night, it was pretty place to stay although it wouldn’t say it’s exceptional. To that extent, I think it was probably a bit pricey; I’ve stayed at nicer places that cost a bit less than we paid here. But overall, it’s a good place.

Your new colleague tried so hard to assist us and made us welcome. She had only just started work there and not used to systems but she tried to make us welcome. She and her colleague were exceptional and could not be more helpful.

We originally contacted Best Western direct and had to book with Bookings.com to secure our booking in the end.

Convenience, cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff. Superb location in town.

It was super cold in the room because heater was blocked by the wall mounted tv! Shower area was also too cold as the apt couldn't be heat up by the heater. The room in accessible unit is also very cold without heater. Fortunately all beds have electric blankets but we can't sit around the room to relax because of the cold.
