Great location

Cute cottage, only a short walk to main shops. Awesome balcony where a bottle of wine goes down well, as you watch the sunset. Quiet ambience, dog friendly for your fur baby. We will stay again, and definitely recommend Blue Bollard to our friends. Thank you Joanne!

Couldn’t be happier.

I gifted this 2 night stay to my girlfriend and her husband and of course their fur baby for her 60th birthday. They were very impressed with the property and its fabulous location, close to all ammenities that Apollo Bay has to offer. They couldn’t recommend it highly enough, and as an added bonus Jo (owner) was terrific to deal with and very responsive, both from my perspective and also my friends.

Holiday at Apollo Bay

We enjoyed our stay and the cottage was very clean & cosy. We were made to feel most welcome. the only negative was the shower over the bath which made it difficult as we are an older couple. Our dog "Nancy" enjoyed the stay also. thank you Joy for an enjoyable 3 days break. Heather & Ian Dunne

Lovely, thoughtfully-prepared house

Blue Bollards was a comfortable house in Apollo Bay, where we stayed for one night. The owners had prepared the fireplace for us, so all we had to do was light the match for a cozy night on the couch. It was chilly in the morning, but their additional electric heater did a great job of warming us up quickly. The bed was comfortable but the mattress rolled outwards a little. It’s not near the beach but the neighbourhood is perfectly nice. The house had a really nice feel - lovely artwork, cushions and blankets, a pretty garden out front and back, kitchen was excellent, and the owners left us a good information booklet on arrival. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Cute, cosy and more than adequate holiday property. Really well located, walking distance to town and beach. Fairly expensive comparatively but allowing our dog sealed the deal. Would recommend, and may well return.

Comfortable cottage in Apollo Bay

Jo is an excellent host and has stocked the cottage well. We built a fire 2times with the provided wood and kindling.. The best part, for me, was having a warm fuzzy robe! Such a treat while traveling because one can never pack a warm comfy robe like this one. The cottage is in a very quiet residential neighborhood. We loved Apollo Bay, lovely small beach town with lots of good choices for restaurants. We liked the Seafood Cafe for dinner and the small cafe at the marina that is part of the fish coop (open for lunch only).
