Apollo Bay Eco Yha

“Everything I ever wanted from a YHA, relaxing, welcoming, all the facilities you'd need, great location”

It's in a perfect location just 5 minutes from the coach stop from Geelong & Melbourne, and just behind the main street and shops while also being very quiet.

It's in a perfect location just 5 minutes from the coach stop from Geelong & Melbourne, and just behind the main street and shops while also being very quiet. There is an IGA supermarket about 2 or 3 minutes walk away from stocking up on food. It's probably the best YHA I've stayed in for a very long time, it just meets all the things you'd want while travelling, and at a great price. It has 2 main levels with very spacious kitchens and on both levels, and even a TV room with comfortable couches and free Netflix and free-to-air TV as well as a USB slot if you've brought your own movies and TV shows to watch. The BBQ is pretty decent as well, it's electric so it was as easy as turning a knob to get it started, I grabbed some sausages from a local butcher, very easy and delicious. The rooftop area was great for hanging out as well, as long as it isn't raining as it's open air. I was lucky enough to be there on Christmas Day and met the staff who were friendly and welcoming enough to put on a bit of a Christmas lunch for the travelling guests. I did not expect such a gift of kindness, they had put out a few platters of hot food and sweets as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, which was a very thoughtful Christmas surprise. The staff also sat down and chatted to guests for a while as well which was lovely. It really made me feel at home. The bathrooms were clean and well kept, the dorm rooms were fine and spacious enough, the bunk beds did move a bit but that's to be expected when they're free standing.

“Solid YHA experience”

Solid YHA experience. Free yoga on the roofdeck which was a bonus. Kitchen is fine for the number of people using it. Bedrooms are basic with the horrible bunk beds that squeak and move every time someone turns over. No ensuites but the bathrooms are clean and tidy.

“Great hostel”

Really nice hostel this - a couple of blocks back from the beach so you are away from any noise and really immaculately clean and well laid out. The staff are very friendly, there is heaps of information for travellers on notice boards and the like and the common areas looked quite nice. The rooms… lisää

Really nice hostel this - a couple of blocks back from the beach so you are away from any noise and really immaculately clean and well laid out. The staff are very friendly, there is heaps of information for travellers on notice boards and the like and the common areas looked quite nice. The rooms are of course quite basic but that's to be expected. They were very nice however and everything basically worked. The facilities were vastly nicer than some hostels I've stayed in and while there wasn't enough parking next to the building for all the guests vehicles there was more parking on the street directly in front of the place. Recommended.
