Family-friendly vacation rentals in Apollo Bay

Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

love love loved the place nice and easy to find, clean and homely. Thanks so much for a great place to call home while we were away from ours.

Excellent place to stay. Easy walk into town. The house looked even better in person. Glenys was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. There was even a beautiful welcome gift and Easter eggs for the kids. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This lovely, clean place was perfect for us and our two dogs. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to others!

The house is amazing, but the view is incredible! We felt really close to nature as we were greeted by cockatoos and a koala on our very first morning, followed by some lorikeets the days after. There was a power outage on our last night, but I contacted the team (fairly late at night) and they were super quick to respond, supplying me with a realistic ETA followed by a quick resolution of my problem. Will be staying again and definitely recommend it!

Absolutely beautiful place, The hosts were really friendly and very helpful. Even gave us fererro roches and fresh fruit. Offered us late checkout too ! Really kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure and 100% would recommend this beautiful spot.

We had a great stay at this lovely house! The house was spotless, well-furnished , had comfortable beds and was well-stocked and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Situated in a peaceful location, it is an easy stroll to beach and local shops. Dariusz is a great host providing an informative “Welcome pack” a few days prior to our stay. We would definitely love to stay again when we visit Apollo Bay next time.

John’s place was perfect. Beautiful inside and the most peaceful, stunning view to simply sit and look out on. The home has everything we would ever need, is super close to cafes and dinner spots and is clean and comfortable. John is a wonderful host, there if you need him with a smile and chat, incredible local information and respectful privacy. We will definitely be back!

It was so surreal, the place was nice and cozy and a perfect getaway to take a moment to let yourself breath and relax

Deb & Pete we're great hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay in their well set up apartment that worked well for us for the 3 nights we stayed. Highly recommend staying here and we would certainly en joy staying here again.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the cottage. The place is well equipped and great location, just 15 mins out of Colac. Plenty of outdoor space for the pooches to play along with easy access to red rock lookout via a scenic walk direct from the property. We will definitely be back! Thank you Garry and Sharyn.

A last minute request met with warm hospitality. The cottage was warm, ambient, with classical music playing in the background and a heated bed with the electric blanket. Whilst it rained the whole time, my little dog and I enjoyed the peaceful retreat and braved the rain for a walk to the near by shops. The location is perfect with everything at your door steps. Tony and Graeme are fantastic hosts. The fresh fruit bowl was generous and the abundant books, games, DVDS were enough to want to stay in and chill. Very lucky to have found this home away from home.

Great location, just off the main street. The super market just across the road was very convenient. Great cafes and restaurants within a short stroll. It got cold but there were plenty of blankets and the a/c made it nice and toasty. Sharee was a super friendly and responsive host. Great trip!

Perfect place for a family get away, walking distance to beach and close to all amenities.

Incredible house with spectacular view. Very comfortable with all amenities provided. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay here. Such a beautiful view from the deck and bedroom. Laying in bed listening to the waves was perfect. Even though we had a very cold weekend and lost power one day the house stayed warm with the wood fire. Beds were very comfortable and warm. everything you could think you needed was provided. Easy walk to the Wye River store and cafe. Would love to come back in summer and be able to relax on the deck watching the ocean.

We had a great stay, wonderful place for a family weekend away! Would definitely return x

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing two-night stay at Glen View as a stopover during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey on the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a truly beautiful section of the GOR where rolling green hills and farmlands meet the ocean. The cottage is delightfully laid out and well provisioned, with quality bedding and toiletries, a lovely fire-place and a shed full of wood (and reverse cycle a/c for the summer months and the impatient!) A visit to the chicken shed to collect farm fresh eggs and the orchard for some lemons was a nice treat for us suburbanites! The kitchen is fully functional with pretty much all equipment you could need, including a coffee machine. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

Great cottage in a peaceful area. Great spa bath. Loved the alpacas. Anglesea and Torquay within short distance. Make sure you book the restaurants with anticipation cause they all get booked out particularly on weekends. It was in general an enjoyable stay.

We had a great long weekend away at Chris’ property. The house had plenty of space for us all with amazing views despite the wet weather of the weekend. We were kept warm and dry with the wood fire and heaters in all bedrooms. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Mario as a host was very welcoming, accomodation, and understanding. However, I’ll leave the management real estate agent up to you to decide. One of a few places in Lorne who allow pets. A rare find. Thanks Mario.

A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

We had the most wonderful time - our accommodation was perfect, had everything we needed, with an ocean view! The friendliness and hospitality Mike gave us was what made our time here so special - we enjoyed walking up the hill for sunrises and sunsets, greeting their Shetland ponies, finding their resident koala, and watching the cockatoos fly about. This is a very beautiful place to visit if you want to spend a few days relaxing and disconnecting. Would most definitely recommend, and we will be returning!

We had a truly memorable stay at this beautiful farmhouse. From the moment we arrived, the owner was incredibly responsive and attentive, regularly checking in to ensure that everything was in order and that we were comfortable. This level of hospitality made us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. The house itself is stunning—set in a serene farm environment that offers both relaxation and a unique countryside experience. Our children especially enjoyed the opportunity to interact with and feed the farm animals, which added a special and memorable touch to the trip. Inside, the home is tastefully designed with a modern yet warm aesthetic. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and the house is extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need—from kitchen essentials to comfortable furnishings. It felt like a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This stay exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend it to families!
