This hostel is 6 years old apparently but it feels brand spanking new! Very well designed communal spaces, which all very felt comfortable and easy. Great view from the terrace as well over this pleasant little town. Great cooking facilities and a short wander down to the beach and supermarket and lots of eating options. Great tips from hostel staff... More

We stayed here for one night in early February in a four-share room. It was a really lovely, clean hostel with great communal areas and two very well equipped kitchens. It really did live up to its "eco" name, unlike some hostels who use it as more of a gimmick. The bathrooms were clean and spacious and the background music... More

I stayed with a friend at Apollo Bay Eco YHA for one night 2 April 2012 on a road trip on the Great Ocean Road. We had a double room which was simple but nice and very clean. The bathroom was just down the hallway and felt like a mini spa with the relaxing music playing on the background. The... More

We had chosen this hostel partially because of it's good reviews but also because it is situated in a good days distance from Melbourne (if you don't drive too fast and like to stop and enjoy the landscape a lot :-) ). We definitely got more than we expected with this hostel. Let's start with the building: it is new... More

This is just a beautiful place. The owners are friendly, the place spotlessly clean, full of very cool charm and character. If every YHA was like this I would never stay anywhere else. The eco credentials of this place are very well thought out and very serious. Really inspiring stuff that shows the power of good design, and getting it... More

Simply the best YHA I've ever stayed at. Perfect place to stop along the Great Ocean Road. The owners are super friendly and more than happy to help you plan your trip and point out things worth seeing. More

We stayed 1 night here on our trip down the ocean road and were very impressed. Hadn't stayed in a hostel before so we were apprehensive. On arrival we were impressed with the number of lounges, upstairs and Downstairs kitchens and facilities on offer. You were able to hire DVDs and board games FOC. The rooms were basic but comfortable... More

Stopped at the Eco Beach yha, our first yha experience, based on lonely planet recommendation. The hostel is spotless, the rooms are big and airy, we stated in a four share. The common areas are well equipped and conducive to getting people chatting. My only gripe would be the reception is only open between limited times, and when we did... More

My mum and I stayed one night in Apollo Bay in this hostel and we were seriously impressed. Combined, we have stayed in a LOT of hostels and this has exceeded them all. The dorms were clean, spacious and tidy and the communal areas were amazing, very well presented, modern, clean and cosy. Staff were all friendly and we wish... More
