I'm not much for the Peninsula - it's really the topography more than anything. I don't like flat places with too many straight lines and the thing that always gets me about driving between the towns on the Peninsula is that the main road is very straight and very tree-y so you kind of can't see the houses and what's going on. Don't like. But I'm fully prepared to hear I'm being a weirdo about this!

So Apollo Bay I like more because obviously it's on the Great Ocean Road which isn't flat plus it's near the Otways and basically, there's more views. Having said that though, it does seem very touristy and therefore very slow off-season. So I'm guessing it would be too busy for me in summer and too quiet in winter.

Warrnambool I like - seems to be lots going on there and DP and I went to Port Fairy recently which we both loved too. Bloody expensive though property-wise.

Dream destination for both of us would be Hobart but I have to make do with getting my Hobart fix with holidays.
