Established in 1887 as the Ballarat Hotel, this grand property, along with new ownership was renamed as the Great Ocean Road Brewhouse in 2015. The Apollo Bay Accommodation has new owners and passionate locals and the stage is set to recreate this historic hotel to her former glory days.
The Brewhouse offers 8 budget-friendly accommodation rooms, suitable for single travellers, couples, families, small groups and backpackers. The range of accommodation includes Queen Rooms, Twin and Triple room options, and Family Rooms. All rooms provide the conveniences of fresh linen and easy access to the shared bathroom facilities.
