  • Apollo Bay YHA Eco Beach, 5 Pascoe St, Apollo Bay (one block back from the beach!) ph: 03 5237 7899

Absolutely amazing. You feel like you should be paying 3x as much for the quality of the facilities, and I'd love a kitchen as equipped as this at home! dorms from $28, private rooms from $70. Book early, because it's very popular [3]

  • Surfside Backpackers, Gambier St near corner of Great Ocean Rd (south of the town center on the rise going over to Marengo). ph 03 5237 7263. fax 03 5237 6191. A ramshackle hostel with junk collecting in the corners. Not the cleanest or tidiest of hostels. The owner is friendly and chatty and will advise on attractions.
  • Beachfront Motel and Cottages, 163 Great Ocean Road, +61 3 5237-6666, [4]. Beachfront offers architect designed, modern, quiet motel rooms and self-contained cottages directly opposite beach.  edit
