그레이트 오션 로드 브루하우스 아폴로 베이(Great Ocean Road Brewhouse Apollo Bay)

Was very good and trghe meal great too Thanks all !

Thought we’d stop here for evening dinner and a cold beer after a long day on the GOR, big mistake! Monday steak night specials for my wife and I were disasters, overcooked and tough as old boots with some over fried chips. Told waitress and she just said “oh sorry” and walked off. Draft lager (not sure if it was their own brew) was flat and tasteless. Would certainly recommend people to look further down the main drag of Apollo Bay as there seemed to be some other interesting eateries. Definitely won’t be returning!

Called in just for a beer or two initially but staid for food. My wife went for chicken schnitzel which she loved while I had the pulled pork burger. Plenty of space, can go for sit down or eat in the bar loung area

This is an amazing Hotel with its own signature Vodka, Gin and numerous boutique beers. The tasting room and bottle shop everyone should experience at least once and right opposite the beach. Location! Location! Location! Great food , great parking and nice friendly staff.

Great location but too expensive for the rooms/facilities.

Staff were excellent. Very friendly and efficient. Room was minimalist but comfortable. No TV or coffee/tea production option. Hallway light beamed into the room all night through a window above the entry door (no blind or curtain). Doors were ultra thin so every noise was heard (People walking to, during and from shared bathroom use. Door very squeaky.

I was a bit disappointed with the lack of the little things eg: coffee and tea making facilities , little soaps in bedroom, tissues and extra pillows, it would have made all the difference, especially for what they were charging for the night.

Very basic. Like a hostel stay.

I stayed here for a total of 3 nights on my GOR adventure. The accommodation is fairly basic but you get what you pay for and I thought it was reasonably good value. The rectangular room was not very large but I had no intention of spending more time than I needed to in the room. The double bed was clean and comfy although it barely fit across the width of the room. I had to squeeze between it and the heater to get to the other side where there was a small side table with drawers and a window over looking the street and the rear of the old post office. There was a small sink with taps, good for brushing teeth, a rack for hanging clothes and low stand to set a suitcase on. Across the hallway there were male and female toilets and separate male and female bathrooms. The bathrooms even had a bath (well, the male bathroom, anyway, I didn't go into the female bathroom but I assume it was the same) as well as a shower. No sink though, hence the teeth brushing in the sink in the bedroom. At the end of the hall, towards the internal stairs, there was a unisex bathroom (and toilet, I think). I only gave it a glance as I used the facilities across the hall from my room. Residential guests accessed the rooms via a steel grate staircase at the back (due to covid protocols). The staff were friendly and kindly filled my thermos with hot water in the mornings before I set off on the day's adventures. On my second night there I was awoken at stupid o'clock by the window rattling. I'd seen the forecast and I thought it was the wind that was shaking the window frame. It's an old pub, once the Ballarat Hotel, probably around 120 years old, or more. It was a bit annoying but I managed to get back to sleep. Approximately 40 minutes later I was awoken by the rattling again. This time I couldn't get back to sleep which was far more annoying as there was very little I could do. It was pre-dawn and I didn't want to wake any of the other guests. And the Apollo Bay Bakery wouldn't be open for quite some time yet so I couldn't even go and get a coffee. A few hours later, as I was setting off for the day's adventuring, I caught a few minutes of radio from Melbourne. Turned out there had been a couple of small earthquakes in the early hours of the morning in the vicinity of Apollo Bay. Despite what people have said, it turns out that, in fact, I could not sleep through an earthquake.
