This place was incredible. Sliding doors open to a balcony overlooking the lake. Michael made sure we had everything we needed and had recommendations for food, sights, etc. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

Great hotel/apartment stay in the Apollo Bay

The four of us loved our stay at the Dolphin Apartments! The penthouse hotel room/apartment hybrid was clean and spacious, and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen had all the amenities to make some home cooked meals. Contactless check in after staffed hours was easy. We would definitely come back!

Excellent apartment. We stayed two nights and it was very relaxing. View over the petrol station is the only knock but really not an issue. It’s proximity to beach and main shops in Apollo Bay are a big plus.

Our family stayed in penthouse. The bed room is so clean and the living room is so spacious. The view is very nice. We also tried lobster and fish & chip for dinner in nearby restaurant and it was so delicious.

Gorgeous modern apartment close to Apollo Bay

Full amenities and modern comfort. Only minor issue is wifi access is not great but this may be a broader issue for all Apollo Bay accommodations due to connectivity issues. Still, we would highly recommend this place!

Excellent value and comfort!

Very comfortable. We had 2nd floor unit so could see a bit of the ocean and shoreline. And the internet modem was just outside our balcony. (1st floor looks at parking lot.). Great cooking amenities and BBQ.

ITT

Good views from top floor just above the gas station roof which is between the apartments and the beach. This property could be quite good just need some tlc. Good: location, parking, balcony, large table on balcony, good size table in main room, top floor does have view of the ocean Needs work: the apartment and linen didn’t smell fresh - not awful, just not fresh. Easy things to fix - yet weren’t: Mis-matched lightbulbs, bird droppings at entry not cleaned after several days Fridge not aligned and not closing Carpet in entry fraying and old, light bulb missing at stairs on entry, rusted room safe, dust above dryer. Lots of little things that could be easily fixed A thorough deep clean would help immensely. This property is not far from being very good.
