Great location on The Great Ocean Road. Apollo Bay has many good restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also very close to several waterfalls if you get tired of looking at amazing surf and beaches!
Loved the Guest Laundry for a fair price of $5 per load and $5 for dryer.
Didn't like that they don't provide a couple of bottles of complementary water, but charge $5 each.
Bed and pillows were just "ok", not particularly comfortable.
Located in Apollo Bay and with Apollo Bay reachable within a 3-minute walk, Great Ocean Road Brewhouse Apollo Bay provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar.

Second time with YHA and again it exceeded expectations. Comfy beds, super clean bathrooms, great common areas, and free morning yoga on the terrace was a nice bonus.

Handy location, everything we needed. Quiet, well contained, beautiful bath in one of the units. Close to food for dinner.

This was one of the most beautiful and unusual locations I have stayed in. You won't find modern conveniences, which would ruin the authenticity of the experience. The beds are wonderful, the bathroom beautiful and the scenery is outstanding. If you have an artistic soul this property is for you. There are plenty of DVD's and games but the true entertainment is the surroundings, the serenity and the quiet. Don't miss the opportunity to remove yourself from the modern world and enjoy the views.

I loved the hiking to Lake Elizabeth and Triplet Falls.
Also the Cape Otway Light Station was excellent.
The treetops walk and zipline also excellent.
You have to be prepared for 1 - 2 hour drives to get to some scenic sights as they are all spread around the region.
Make sure you are prepared for wet weather.

The location is stunning, Cape Otway is a great midway base along the great ocean road. Its easy to get to. Make sure to allow time for a wander and time to enjoy wine / cheese and watching the sunset. For an extra wow, get up and enjoy the sunrise! Next time we would stay at least a few nights.

Even though it appeared expensive to get the see a lighthouse.
The walks the building itself and other attractions take awhile, so it is not a quick trip. It will take some time to get the most of the experience
The cafe provided good food and the sighting of it meant you get a great view of the lighthouse as you eat.
The plaques are informative and we particularly enjoyed reading those to do with the 2nd.W.W.

Don’t book here unless you are prepared for a substandard experience in terms of how the house was presented. The flies were awful we had thousands every day coming down the chimneys which was a real health hazard. Kitchen utensils missing, bbq not working, kettle blew the fuse box the lust is endless . But we love lighthouses and the structure and ambience were still discernible but the management are doing NOTHING to enhance ones stay and, it’s $500 per night for which you expect somewhat more. Compared with somewhere like Gabo lighthouse there is just NO comparison - shame really

Cape Otway Lightstation is an amazing location. When the Lightstation precinct closes for the day all you can hear is the sound of the ocean & wildlife. It is so beautiful & peaceful. The Lightstation Studio was very cosy & comfortable - perfect for a couples getaway. The uninterrupted views of the Lightstation from our cottage were breathtaking. A tasty Continental Breakfast & Lightstation Tower Climb were included as part of the accommodation package - a nice touch.
Fabulous setting with lots of koalas, kangaroos and birds to see and hear. Easy bush walking tracks and access to Cape Otway. We loved the friendly staff, their fish n chips night, morning coffee stall, feed-the animals, splash park, mini golf as well as outdoor movie. Also really liked the eco cabin we stayed in. Thank you!!
Excellent accommodation and facilities. Amazing history of the Cape Otway lightstation. Delightful breakfast and comfortable bed.
Definitely recommend staying here.
Thank you for having us.
