Apollo Bay

Once the home of whalers and timber cutters, today Apollo Bay is a haven for nature lovers, foodies and music buffs.

Coast along the Great Ocean Road and find a little town with a big appetite for seafood. Get within a whisker of a seal colony with your kayak or drop a line into the depths of the ocean with a deep-sea fishing charter. Over Apollo Bay’s back fence, ancient forests count the centuries while glow worms twinkle in the dark fern gullies of the Otways.

Beautiful place to stay. See Koalas at the Koala cafe just along the road at Kennet River, visit the Otway Lighthouse, Port Campbell, the redwood forrest, and the quirky Otway Junction Motor Inn and the Beechy Hotel.
