The location is not as centrally as advertised. But the place is very tiny and charming. I love the lounge room and the surroundings of the house, with very comfortable couchs to relax. The bathrooms are a bit poor comparing to the clean kitchen and lounge room. It's definitely a place where I would love to spend a couple of days just to enjoy the seaside life :)

Its a cute little house transformed into a hostel. When you pull up you say "is this really it?". It has a very homy feel, and a full kitchen with a whole shelf full of food and spices you can use for cooking. The staff is very friendly and the house is very clean. Its a great place to meet people and the atmosphere is great.

We particularly liked the friendly and incredibly helpful staff. They made it feel like a home away from home. I like hostels that have individual character and are owned and run by locals, which this one is. Top marks. Would definitely recommend people stay here if they're coming to Apollo Bay

The man managing the hotel is the best. He was genuine and informative. He gave us a ride to a hiking spot since we didn't have a car. You really get personal attention and feel like they care about the facilities and the travelers who stay there. Also, they are really good about recycling (if you are into that)!

Cleanliness was sub standard, and decor was very dated. Security wasn't great but at the same time it seemed like a good safe area. The owner was very helpful.

Nice to have breakfast available, but no dryer. The safety was not up to par since the hostel could be entered from the side yard through an unlocked bedroom. More spaces than table space.

Cosy hostel, a couple of blocks back from the main street in Apollo Bay. Nice veranda to relax on and nice, free breakfast in the morning.

Small and quaint, a home away from home. I liked the "feel at home" vibe about it.

Well, the main advantage is you get really personal touch from the personal, My host was Annie who was probably the most helpful person Ive ever met. We chatted for a short time, then we planned next part of my trip. There was nothing to complain about. There was a little bit cold in the morning, but this is probably usual at this time of year. And when you get back too late to dine out, youll probably get hot dinner prepared by her. That stay was just great!!!!
