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. I knew YHA as it has many hostels in Australia but I had never stayed at one of them. This hostel is absolutely fantastic. Everything is super clean, there are two fully equipped kitchens, beautiful lounge rooms, tv rooms and also a rooftop with lounge chairs. There is such a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel like being a guest in someone's house, not in a hostel. The position is very central. Couldn't recommend more
