Wow what a pleasant surprise ! Highly recommend

I wasn't expecting to much as usually old pubs are a bit average, but wow what a pleasant surprise. Everything was just outstanding. Sensational food, great staff and great spaces, one which even had a comfy chesterfield. A very good experience and highly recommended.

Amazing experience, loved the friendly service !

Absolutely loved the friendly service! We were staying in Apollo Bay with our Toy Poodle Leo and from the moment we arrived we (including Leo) felt so welcome. Leo was allowed inside, which made our experience sooo much better. We had drinks, dinner and listened to live music. At the end of the night we asked to borrow 2 of their wine glasses as we had a bottle of wine to drink back at our caravan and they let us. We returned them the next day. Our total experience was amazing.

Welcoming and friendly, meals were fantastic !

The bar was welcoming and friendly with some great locally brewed beers available on tasting paddles. The meals were fantastic - great portion sizes and excellent value for money. Try the Portuguese Tart dessert was to die for! Nearby activities: So many fantastic local attractions. Try Cape Otway Lighthouse and the Otway Fly Adventure (#amazing)! Walkability: Great location along the foreshore with perfect views out to the water. Food & drinks: Loads of variety and excellent value for money.
