Captain's at the Bay

Apollo Bay, Australia

Located away from the main bustle of the town, Captain's at the Bay offers a peaceful and private seaside retreat on the famous Great Ocean Road. The many highlights of this iconic coastal route are only a short drive away, with the nearest beach just a stroll from the property.

The small number of rooms here means that guests can enjoy an intimate and personalised stay. Rooms are bright, airy and well presented, with some of the accommodation options detached from the main building for additional privacy. Meanwhile, the lounge and dining room is decorated in blue hues to continue the property's maritime theme.

OUR OPINION:

We love this quirky, nautical guesthouse. Suited especially to couples, it's intimate, peaceful and private, with a fantastic location for exploring the Great Ocean Road.
