The accommodation was functional, but it wasn't the accommodation we where booking seafarers for. Having stayed at the roadside cottages 10 years ago and having stayed at the mountain top cottage five years ago. (Casino. ) We where only going for one thing, an opportunity to relax and take in the breathtaking view. During the day, the spectacular view of the ocean with the fisherman anchored just behind the break and the surfers catching the waves.
The day passes idly, making a day feel like forever. In the afternoon, lovely relaxed walks on the foreshore and at night the moon waltzing along the hill framed perfectly by the northern windows, while the flicker of the gas log fire flickeres to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. A million dollar view for a fraction of the price and did i mention the freaky sheep that always want to check out what going on:).
The town of Apollo bay is the perfect town to take a family, a great park for the children to play in, easy to access waterfalls, great fishing and rock pools to explore. A good combination of friendly locals and tourists all year round make it a great hub of holiday activity. The food is like all places hit and miss, particularly at the Apollo bay hotel, where the menu can be pricey and not exactly to the culinary promise espoused on the menu.
Having said that the seafood is some of the best i have had in Australia, so i would recommend eating anywhere just keep it simple and stay with the seafood. Its highly unlikely you will get this wrong.
