Guest Reviews
- Emmanuel (10/5): It was very comfortable - It was very nice It was very cozy
- Qinjing (10/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): Perfect location for a week in Apollo Bay! Amazing view of the ocean, great location and spacious modern apartment. - The view was amazing from our apartment and it was super close to the shops and cafes and beach. We also loved the full kitchen, laundry and the spacious apartment for our two little kids. Everything was great.
- Linda (8/5): Great place to stop while traveling the great ocean road. - Great location when traveling the great ocean road. There was nothing to complain about
- Susana (8/5): -
- Hayley (5/5): It was ok, with a little work it would be amazing. - The property location was the best of all, very close to the water where you could hear the waves crashing and super close to downtown. The property needed better cleaning, and a little up keep the apartment we stayed in had a few broken things and was not cleaned to a very high standard. The beds were not full size king beds like advertised but two singles pushed together.
- Jamie Sioux (8/5): Great stay. Big apartment, well maintained and perfect lpcation - Generous apartment size, clean and fresh . Well furnished and appointed. Ideal location for walking into town. No fuss check in The only thing that put me off was there were some sort of rubber or plastic sheeting on the bed which felt gross, I had to strip it off.
- Julie (10/5): Apollo Bay short break - Location was perfect for our needs. Penthouse offered excellent views of ocean. Close to Apollo Bay shops and restaurants. Petrol station next to apartments. Apartment facilities were ideal. Rooms were well laid out and comfortable. Parking in front of apartments. Quiet and relaxing. Nothing
- Camille (9/5): We really love the place. Wished we could’ve stayed longer - Spacious and clean
- Calli (10/5): - Our family had a great stay at the Dolphin Apartments. Awesome location for food when coming in a little later in the evening. Jess was super helpful when she told us we had left an item behind and arranged to post it back (we have left a few items accidentally at hotels over the years and often they just say they didn't find anything). So overall a great stay with the kids at a friendly, super helpful apartment!
- JIALE (10/5): -
- siddhesh (9/5): - Location, apartment, sea facing balcony Spring beds.
- Ankita (10/5): -
- Annette (10/5): Excellent apartment in a very functional location. - Everything Nothing
- Jinu (9/5): -
- Tracey (10/5): Excellent - We had a great stay Nothing
- Amit (3/5): - Location - close to the beach and restaurants found a mound of hair inside a stained throw in the bedroom. carpets looked unclean - overall wasn't a feel of a clean apartment especially since I was staying with a child and elderly parents. If not for avoiding the hassle to moving to another place , I would have opted to check-out and find another accommodation.
- LEI (10/5): -
- Laurene (10/5): A piece of paradise - How simple and clean the apartment was. The view from our Blacony and how easy it was for a quick walk down town. Nothing

- Jeevendran (8/5): Cosy, Comfortable place with professional caretakers - I appreciate Jacob and his wife helping us with the air conditioner settings with the controllers and resetting the main unit. They were wonderful host and very courteous. The apartment was spotless and cleaned daily when guest checked out. We loved the kitchen, sitting, bathroom layouts. It was spacious and comfortable. The dining chairs were worn out. It was a disappointing view with the Ampol station in-front of the ocean view. However the sunrise was spectacular. The washing machine and dryer were old and noisy however did the job.

- Joe (7/5): good and close to all amenities - easy walk to shops / restaurants
- Rob (8/5): -

- Jan (9/5): - Lovely clean well appointed apartment. Having two bathroom facilities was very good.
- Weightman (8/5): A great place to stay. would definitely go back. Just a few minor issues that could be fixed - the view from the balcony was lovely bathroom basin was cracked. A guard rail at the top of the stairs. the steps were narrow
- Mary (10/5): - Lovely view out to water. Very spacious and clean. Loved having 2 bathrooms. Easy walk to town and the beach. Gas station in front sometimes had a bit of a gassy smell.
- Christina (10/5): Great Apartment. Close enough to walk to shops - Perfect accommodation. Didn't use the car the whole weekend as it was close enough to walk to the shops. The apartment has two couches which I liked, most only have one. Smart TV so you can log into whatever you like. We will definitely stay here again if we come to Apollo bay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved everything!

Great layout
Clean
Laundry in unit
Discount applied at check-out for one unresolved issue, which we appreciated Kitchen cookware and utensils could use an update - they have received heavy use, especially the warped frying pans.
Staff was available on check-in and check-out, but otherwise enjoyed their holiday weekend. We had 2 issues for which we requested help on the first morning - the missing item was delivered by end of day; the other, a plumbing issue, we resolved ourselves as the staff didn’t have a remedy.
- Bente (9/5): -
- birgit (7/5): - It's nice, ok apartment
- Syedfarhanah (8/5): Clean and comfort stay a stone's throw away from the Bay - Very clean apartment and just a road across Apollo bay beach. Conveniently located. Good wifi. Nothing much, just minor things like perhaps providing Olive oil, aluminium foil would have been great for allowing simple cooking and changing on trays.
- Louise (9/5): -
- Dirk (9/5): -
- Anne Marie (8/5): -
- Ruth (8/5): Lovely apartment that was comfortable for 4 adults to stay in. - The property was clean comfortable with an amazing view. Petrol garage (can’t be moved but sham it was there)
- Janice (8/5): Apollo Bay was great. The accommodation was good but not great. - Location was excellent. Staff helpful. Good dining room table. The toilets in the middle of the house were unpleasant. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was just ok. The equipment in the kitchen very limited. Tissues

- Sophie (9/5): - Everything. Lovely property
