Family-friendly vacation rentals in Apollo Bay

Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We loved the location, the views, cleanliness, tv and streaming access, well stocked kitchen with plenty of cleaning supplies, bbq, beautiful spa bath, lovely artwork, cosy lighting, oh and I nearly forgot one of the main things - the fantastic indoor wood heater with plenty of wood and also the fantastic communication with the owner who was so wonderful to deal with. Made our stay so easy with his clear instructions and amazing hospitality. Thank you for sharing your house with us with the gorgeous smells outside of the trees, fireplaces, and the sounds of the waves , it was an amazing and memorable stay away.

Excellent place to stay. Easy walk into town. The house looked even better in person. Glenys was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. There was even a beautiful welcome gift and Easter eggs for the kids. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

thank you pauline for the warm welcome to apollo bay. was a wonderful stay, highly recommended!

Lovely stay at Debbie's residence. Shack was all that was advertised and more! Horse ride right around the corner on the farm also made this locale even more appealing. Would recommend and stay again!

The Coastal Hide Away exceeded our expectations. The pictures made the place look great; it was even better in reality. The property was clean, spacious and stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The spa was a real highlight and worth every penny - the perfect end to a day exploring the Ocean Road. As a host, Dariusz cannot be faulted. He was proactive with his communication and had thought of everything when it came to making checking in and out of the Hide Away seamless. We had a great time at the Hide Away, and won't hesitate to return should we head to Appollo Bay again in the future. Thanks!

As a regular global traveller for work and leisure, this was one of the best AirBnB I've stayed in. The Location and facilities of the villa were 5 star! We will be back.

John’s place was perfect. Beautiful inside and the most peaceful, stunning view to simply sit and look out on. The home has everything we would ever need, is super close to cafes and dinner spots and is clean and comfortable. John is a wonderful host, there if you need him with a smile and chat, incredible local information and respectful privacy. We will definitely be back!

We had a great one-night stay at The Blue Bollard. Joanne was a responsive and welcoming host, greeting us on arrival. The space was clean, tidy, and cutely decorated—just what we needed for a short stay. Conveniently located near Apollo Bay’s restaurants and pubs, it made exploring the area easy and enjoyable.

We have stayed at Helana’s place on several occasions. It has a very relaxed vibe and is reminiscent of my childhood holidays. It is in a great location, the yard is well fenced for our dogs and it has all the basics for a beach holiday with nothing pretentious. Thanks again Helana

Really terrific house, great for a large group. Very comfortable, excellent little additions like board games and Finska as well as a well stocked pantry. Super clean. Nice private garden

we had a fantastic time and had bonfires both nights. it was peaceful and quiet and we slept well.the house was clean and tidy . cheers Tony?

Great place in a beautiful location! The house was spacious, and just a short drive away from the beach and many cafes and restaurants. Would happily come back again!

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the cottage. The place is well equipped and great location, just 15 mins out of Colac. Plenty of outdoor space for the pooches to play along with easy access to red rock lookout via a scenic walk direct from the property. We will definitely be back! Thank you Garry and Sharyn.

Great location, just off the main street. The super market just across the road was very convenient. Great cafes and restaurants within a short stroll. It got cold but there were plenty of blankets and the a/c made it nice and toasty. Sharee was a super friendly and responsive host. Great trip!

House was great, good location, plenty of space with an enclosed yard for our dog

We had a great stay, wonderful place for a family weekend away! Would definitely return x

Jane is firstly an incredibly generous and responsive host. She was super flexible and reasonable to a request we had, and also checked in with us to make sure that that we were able to check into the house. The house itself is amazing. We enjoyed the pool and the massive kitchen. There is plenty of entertainment including table tennis, pool toys and floaties, a theatre room and games just to name a few. The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and well located. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Terry was an excellent host and this is such a great place down the coast for some time with family. Our little ones loved swimming and seeing the animals. Beds were comfy and the cottage was large. We will be back! Thanks again Terry!

Three generations of my family returned to make some more wonderful memories. The views are gorgeous. The kids love running around the property, bouncing on the trampoline and even going for a dip in the pool. We LOVE staying here!

Mario as a host was very welcoming, accomodation, and understanding. However, I’ll leave the management real estate agent up to you to decide. One of a few places in Lorne who allow pets. A rare find. Thanks Mario.

Had really nice stay at Johanna Seaside Cottages 'Farm House', was the perfect country escape we were looking for and the kids loved collecting fresh laid eggs in the morning and having access to an indoor heated pool. Only minor complaint was not being able to connect to the internet Friday evening and not being able contact our host after 5pm. That said, the property caretake (Ben) was super helpful when he checked in the next day. Would definitely recommend if looking for a country escape along the coast.

A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Charleson Farm. The property was peaceful, spacious, and truly everything we wanted for a relaxing getaway. Surrounded by nature and beautifully set up, it offered the perfect balance of comfort and tranquility. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and the serene atmosphere—it felt like a true escape. Highly recommended, and we’d love to come back again!
