Great location. No view from either front or back, but had a koala in the tree nearby some days. Very spacious apartment. Kitchen had everything we needed although a coffee machine would be nice. Part of a small apartment complex but still very private.

The washing machine did not work which was annoying as we had planned on doing washing during the week. The manager offered to do a load for us but I didn’t want someone I didn’t know doing that, so I had to handwash clothes and I would have liked to wash the beach towels. The dryer worked fine. There was a problem with one of the toilets too and the TV in the bedroom didn’t work.

What a great location! The apartment has a view to the beach and was within walking distance of everything. It is well appointed, with quality cookware and everything you need to self cater. Beds were comfortable and the sheets etc were good quality. It's very well set-up, and there has been thought put into what people need when they are on holidays. We arrived on Christmas Eve after staff had left, and we appreciated the key etc being left, and the check in process was made effortless.

There were a couple of things that were not so great, but nothing which we couldn't manage. The batteries in the remote for the air con had died, but this was ok because we could use the remote from the bedroom. The dryer worked with a light load, but not with the full load from the washing machine. The dishwasher didn't work well, and we wound up hand washing most of the dishes. The apartment was very clean, except for the shower in the main bathroom, which had a mould issue. It wasn't really bad, but it was bad enough for me to clean it before we could use it. All of these things didn't detract from the fact that it was a good apartment, and we would stay again.

Location was great. The apartment had two bathrooms which was perfect was us. There are also inverters in all the rooms making it a comfortable stay. Larger Bed size was appreciated. Emily (one of the managers) kindly pointed out a koala in the trees which made our day. We were allowed to leave our car in the parking (post check-out) to grab some things from the shops. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Small issues like the exhaust fan in one of the bathrooms didn’t work, there was one bin in the kitchenette that was not emptied during our 3 night stay. Understand the policy that the apartment is not serviced for shorter stays but would be food to have the rubbish bin emptied daily. Also would be good to have a separate option for recycling. The reception closes at 8 pm, we didn’t receive any instructions through booking.com for check ins for late arrivals. Thankfully the manager was waiting but of course it was probably stressful for property managers and us. Suggest providing instructions for late check ins.

Spacious and comfortable living space. The fact they could cater for a King sized bed in the bedrooms was godsend for family with kids. Minimalistic furnishing and solid furniture great for rough handling by kids. Very very clean - corner skirtings and under furniture spaces which are easily hidden and dusty are spotless! Had no worries about kids getting into yucky spaces because everywhere was spotless. Lovely management. I looked forward to chilling in the space every day. Best stay I've had for awhile.

Nothing

I liked the fact that Michael met me and handed the key to me at the same time as going through and pointing out certain points regarding the apartment. It was personal. I liked the photos on the walls.

I didn't like the slippery shower base in the bathroom. I slipped and nearly fell. Fortunately I didn't. But there was no hand rail in the shower to grab onto. I think that this is a very useful addition to a shower recess and would be used by a lot of people not just older folk.

Beautiful apartments to yourself, home away from home. We stayed in the penthouse, up 2 flights of easy stairs, no lifts. Great facilities. Penthouse overlooks the ocean, perfect for early rises with a cup of coffee watching the sun rise. Sometimes Koalas join you in the nearby trees. 50m from beach, the water looked so inviting. We went I'm winter so to cold to swim, although we did see swimmers. Spa bath ensuite, and air con in every room. Micheal and Emily the owners are amazing. We loved it so much we booked in to stay another night.

They are directly behind a petrol station on the main road. From the penthouse it doesn't really effect the view but imagine from the next level down it would not be nice in some of the apartments. However nothing wrong at all with the apartment, apartment building or staff.

Great ocean view. Clean, comfortable & really spacious apartment with 2 separate bath & toilets. The layout of the apartment is impressive, feels at home. Washer & dryer with laundry rack was a bonus. Dish washer and all appliances work well. The 2 bedrooms & living area are warm (reversible aircon) on winter. Staffs are friendly. Location is good. 2 flight stairs up to apartment but is not an issue for us. Overall, excellent stay in an excellent apartment. Happy we chosed Dolphin apartment.

Maybe a Heated lamp in the toilet for winter season.

The view was amazing, the beds were comfortable, it was never cold inside, we had almost instant hot water from the kitchen sink, the shower was amazing, the couches were comfortable, three AC units were very convenient, and almost everything was very clean (coming from cleaners).

The windy nights made it hard to sleep (weather's fault) and caused the door in my room to click loudly (I fixed it and slept much better on the second night, just leave the door ajar slightly), and some surfaces were dusty but it didn't matter in the end, barely noticeable.

View of the sea Spacious Living room Close to bakery and Cafés Nice supportive people at the reception

Some items are a bit aged and would benedit from maintenance (e.g. loose toilet paper holder) And there was a bird's nest right over our entrance door with the birds making the door step dirty. (Of course the birds shall not be chased away. But it was making entering the appartment with clean shoes an awareness challenge)

Great location at Apollo Bay and a good base to visit other places along the Great Ocean Road. Apartment was clean and well equipped, and provides a comfortable stay. Supermarket and main street are within 10 minutes walk, great for getting stuff, and cooked in the well stocked kitchen.

The bbq stove is located at the rear of the apartment at the car park, which made me decide to cook the food in the kitchen instead of having a bbq in the evening.
