If you’re looking for motel accommodation in Apollo Bay, the Apollo Bay Beachfront Motel is the perfect stop. We’re located in the heart of the town, just across the road from the stunning Southern Ocean front, and a short stroll from restaurants and shopping. We offer a range of rooms to suit any holiday accommodation needs, and a great starting point to explore the Great Ocean Road.

Ask any of our friendly staff and we’ll happily help with recommendations and advice about what to do in Apollo Bay and along the Great Ocean Road. The nearby beachfront provides a peaceful place to start, where you can catch a glimpse of southern right whales migrating from Antarctica to raise their calves nearby. Plus there is lots to see and do within a short car or bus trip.

The start of the Great Ocean Walk is directly across the road, as are the Visitor Information Centre and V/Line bus stop.

Apollo Bay is the gateway to stunning natural parks and wilderness, including the Otway National Park. Spend the day ambling along the many walks, and camp overnight in one of the many camping grounds located near the waterfalls for a peaceful escape. Melba Gully, known as the “Jewel of the Otways” is well-known as one of the wettest places in Victoria, and home to a spectacular glow worm display.
