YHA Apollo Bay Eco Hostel is a 2-minute walk from restaurants and cafes in Apollo Bay town centre. It is a 45-minute drive to Cape Otway Lighthouse and a 90-minute drive to the Twelve Apostles. It is already second YHA accommodation in Australia that makes me happy. All things are here logical, functional, pleasant and nice at the same time. The staff makes you feel like you are in a very good movie where you are the main character.

Set in Port Fairy, 600 metres from Port Fairy East Beach, The Wandering Whale Port Fairy offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

You can play billiards and darts at the hostel, and the area is popular for fishing and snorkelling. the journey towards Port Fairy from the Grampians at sunset was amazing but arriving at YHA was no less emotional although we did not find the staff due to late arrival, but our room was prepared, instructions and keys provided, special thanks to the owners for describing nearby restaurants and places to visit. In the morning we had even more impressions the hostel was very beautifully decorated with antiques and a well-kept courtyard
