Had a pleasant stay at the Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn. We arrived at a little late (8 PM) and…read morethe reception office had already closed but there were clear instructions on how to get our keys to enter our room. The room featured a queen bed, a twin bed, a small kitchenette, and a clean bathroom with shower. The kitchenette had a microwave, utensils, plates, and salt and pepper. The utensils came in handy to cut up some of Australia's delicious mangoes we had bought at the supermarket. The Inn is just blocks from the main city center. Apollo Bay features a couple of grocery stores (IGA, Foodworks), a few coffee shops and cafes, and a brewhouse to grab some local beers and wines.

Do not let the exterior fool you, this is NOT your average motel - or what we would think of as a…read moremotel it's been years and years since we have been in one. Lovely clean, fresh, newly updated interiors with large spacious bedroom, a firm mattress (which we love) separate kitchen area and good sized bathroom with shower & plenty of pressure - woot woot. Coffee and tea provided as well as plates, bowls, utensils, mini-fridge and microwave etc The interiors of the room have brick on both sides and wood style floors. It really was very nicely done. This is a Mom & Pop establishment so you must check-in before 7pm, so if stopping here on a 2 day tour of the GOR as we did, make sure with your tour director, that they will have you there in time.

Okay, it has been a while since I have been down here but I do feel that this place rates a mention…read moresimply because I appeared here late one night as I was heading back to Adelaide via the scenic route, and they were more than happy for me to take a room, despite it being 9:00 pm or something. The room was actually really nice, and I did get a pretty decent sleep as well. I probably wouldn't recommend coming here during high season, or if you do make sure you book ahead, however my luck probably had more to do with me arriving in the middle of winter during the working week as opposed to any other time. Oh, it's also pretty close to conveniences as well.

The kitchen has everything but a stove. It's got cups and plates and cutlery which came in handy. Booking.com had it at $138 per night but when I called them directly they gave me the same room for $100. Booking.com is a great search tool but call hotels directly to book! Its fairly old looking and when the rooms next door use their water the pipes seem to make loud noises. The blankets were thin and I needed two of them. And there is a little dust here and there but clean for the most part.

A 2min walk from Foodworks, the Lorne Visitor Centre, a cute breakfast place and pizza place, and a 5 min walk from the beach and other shops. Does the trick for low-maintenance road trippers who want a safe/clean place to crash in between drives.

We stayed one night in this inexpensive apartment on our Great Ocean Road journey. For some reason,…read moremy better half thought we'd have an ocean view but that wasn't reasonable to expect at the price... The room was clean, the bed was comfy. It was fine. Basic. However, we do have a nice story. The manager said she'd been training up a new staff who'd accidentally charged our credit card twice. Although the charge was immediately reversed, she gave us a bottle of red wine to apologise. I really think this is a nice example of customer service: both friendly and professional, and I wish the managers/owners (who seem to be new) success.

All kitchen facilities, bbq, deck, fire place, spa, two shower heads in the shower (a bonus when the partner loves boiling hot water and I enjoy warm but enjoying the company at the same time!). There's also a massive king size bed. I sort of wish I lived there but also having the same exact layout and everything in the city! Worth the splurge and indulgent weekend with your partner.
