We loved staying here the facilities are great and the locality is great. We could walk down to the beach by the marina, play golf, visit pub and get nice meals especially fish and chips!

Boathouse in suburbia .. Expected better ..

Boathouse = water & views, but not in this case .. It's suburbia and disappointing. The view is of your driveway and a wall, as you are one of 12 double storey cottages on the block, nicely located 5min walk from the water and town. Reception staff are very friendly, however reception is only open from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. The cottage itself is nothing special, open plan lounge/dining, kitchen & only bathroom with a huge spa, but you need to step over the high lip to get into the shower .. Not good if you have little kids or mobility issues. The 2 spacious bedrooms are upstairs, but if you need to go to the bathroom during the night, it's downstairs! For us, it's overpriced and there are probably cheaper equal/ better choices with views, elsewhere. Did not like the self checkout sheet, where it was mentioned not cleaning dishes/ emptying bins could incur a $20.00 fee!

Perfect base to explore Great Ocean Road from

We used the self catering boat house as a base to tour the great ocean road. We stayed in September (not tourist season) so the whole of Apollo Bay was very quiet. We arrived one wet, dark evening and the guy on reception was great. He told us the restaurants would soon be closing so while we went to grab some food he started the wood burning fire so the house would be warm on our return - which was lovely. Great base to visit the 12 apostles and also the koalas at Kennett river.

Excellent short stay

We stayed here for one night as part of a trip down the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles during the Lions tour. It was a lovely spot and the accommodation was just what we were looking for and the owners were very friendly. Would be ideal for a family as well as a group of friends.

Property was easy to access, was a bit dated, oven was very dirty with food and black oil on the bottom from previous guests, we were going to use it but changed our minds when we saw the condition it was in. We chose to eat out and the restaurant that were walkable distance from the property. Beach was a nice walk, lots of rock pools to explore. The house could do with a better clean of surfaces as it was pretty dusty/dirty. Scum around spa and bathroom and toilet needed a good clean. Double bed was very comfortable. Stairs are very noisy to walk up and down to the bathroom on the lower level. The highlight of our stay was the location of the property close to everything.

The property was not secured when we arrived at past 9pm at night. Patio door was wide open. I tried to call for the location of the specific property and was not able to reach anyone. There was poor lighting and the property number was not marked as the rest of the homes.

Needs maintenance

Excellent location & amenities. However, maintenance is poor: broken Venetian blinds; patio door has dropped & is extremely difficult to shut & lock; gardens poorly maintained; bathroom windows have no winder handle -> passers-by could see into shower & windows couldn't be locked.
