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. Second time with YHA and again it exceeded expectations. Comfy beds, super clean bathrooms, great common areas, and free morning yoga on the terrace was a nice bonus.
