“We had a wonderful stay - our host was warm and accommodating, and the room was cosy with everything we needed. The location was incredibly convenient, close to the water and surrounded by beautiful nature walks, making it the perfect stopover. We’d definitely stay again next time we’re passing through. A special thanks for recommending Shelter for breakfast - they were fantastic!”
“I experienced the outstanding hospitality during my recent stay. From the moment I checked in, your warmth made me feel truly welcome. The room was immaculate, and the bathtub was impressive. However, what truly stood out was the exceptional assistance I received regarding a personal mishap. After checking out, my wife realized fhat she had accidentally left behind her suits in the closet. I was quite distressed as she had to attend her graduation ceremony the next day. You handled the situation with remarkable efficiency and integrity. You coordinated its safe storage with such care and transparency. It is rare to find an establishment that combines luxury with such genuine, proactive service. This experience has solidified your hotel as my top choice for future visits. Thank you once again for going above and beyond to turn a potentially stressful situation into a seamless one.”
“I had a fantastic stay at Captain’s at the Bay! The atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting, and I was really pleased with the room’s quality. The staff were incredibly friendly and made my experience truly special. After checking out, I realized I’d left a T-shirt behind, and the team was kind enough to find it and arrange to send it back to me. I’m so thankful for their amazing service and attention to detail. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Apollo Bay!”
