Captains At The Bay

Our sweet cottage was absolutely ideal for our romantic trip on the Great Ocean Road;only a block or two’s walk to the main street of restaurants and shopping, the beach, and a well-stocked grocery store; comfy bed, glamorous two-person tub, and upscale design, especially in the expansive two-person bath, which was as beautifully appointed as one in an upscale Melbourne CBD hotel (actuallly, nicer and more lovely than the one we’d had in exactly that kind of place the night before, at two and a half times the price...) And perfectly clean and fully sand-free, unusual for something so close to the beach! Breakfast was expansive and delicious - hot breakfast to order was done perfectly, offerings on the buffet extensive and delicious. (Room’s minibar looked promising, too, though didn’t end up trying anything.) Staff is sweet, helpful, and knowledgable but never pushy or obtrusive! Gave us great tips for dinner and road experiences. Would definitely stay again.

Literally the only, only critique: In our room, I think because of the hard surfaces in the toilet area into the main bathroom, sound travels rather more than one would hope into the main room. We played a little music on our cell phone to aid privacy! But we thought of it as only a teeny compromise.

Great place to stay. Very nice rooms lovely bathroom and shower. Central location in Apollo Bay. Close 2/3mins to local Apollo Bay restaurants. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast included to set you up for the next stage of the Ocean Road sightseeing.

Lovely staff, great breakfast, excellent location

Duncan was so friendly and helpful when he checked us in, even lending us towels for the beach. The room was comfortable, spacious, and beautifully laid out. I loved the large bath!

The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable, and the breakfast was delicious.
