Lovely location
Easy walk to beach and shops. Not cheap so was appalled we had to bring our own linen and bath soaps.

Holiday with Groodles
We were delighted to find a holiday rental at Apollo Bay which had a fully enclosed back garden for our two large Groodles. The garden was safe and secure, and that's why we chose this property. The kitchen is bursting with crockery and pots & pans and the coffee pod machine works well. On the negative side, the living space is quite cramped and the bathroom (which looked recently renovated), had almost no horizontal surface to put anything on other than the floor. The garden is full of birds but many of the plants have been neglected, especially the roses...distressing for a gardener. You can hear the surf at night and it's a short walk to the beach. Overall, good value for money and in a good location but he property needs some love.

3 day stay
we were staying after racing the amy Gillett ride. so to relax. the floors were gritty underfoot, as if they had not been cleaned, there was thick fluff under the beds, and someone had left a pair of socks. our dogs went into garden that was overgrow (not like pictures) at the bottom of the garden was all muddy, so not very good for dogs to play. we were very disappointed so left a day early. when taking keys back at 6pm everything was closed at office and we could not get to the box to drop off as gate was locked. so we had to leave in office letter box. in all not a relaxing couple of days we had hoped for.
