I had an enjoyable and very comfortable stay here with my daughter in July 2024. 2 bedroom apartment very spacious with a quality feel. The apartment was well cleaned (e.g. behind doors, in corners), presentable and comfortable. Appliances and furniture were good. The furniture was solid, good, and comfortable. The site is convenient to shops and beach. An easy review and recommendation.

As described
As other people have reviewed a very clean apartment with all that we needed and handy for the local shops and garage in front meant no searching for petrol. We were on the top floor penthouse so we could see the sea.

Nice apartment
The location of the apartment is very good, with the beach across the road and very close to the shopping center, a 5-minute walk. The service staff is very friendly and willing to help you with all your questions. I will stay here again next time I go to Apollo Bay.

Close to beach and park. Close to take away and dine-in restaurant. Friendly staff. They even provided an extension cord to charge the car over night for free. So I would come back to this place if we decided to stay around that area again.

Great hotel/apartment stay in the Apollo Bay
The four of us loved our stay at the Dolphin Apartments! The penthouse hotel room/apartment hybrid was clean and spacious, and the balcony had a nice view of the ocean. The kitchen had all the amenities to make some home cooked meals. Contactless check in after staffed hours was easy. We would definitely come back!
