Hotels near Great Ocean Road
Lorne Victoria, Australia
The Great Ocean Road is a 243 km coastal road between Torquay and Allansford in southern Victoria - built 1919-1932 by returned WWI servicemen as a memorial to fallen comrades, making it the world's largest war memorial. The road snakes between cliffs and the wild Southern Ocean with stops at Bells Beach (the international surfing competition site since 1962), the famous Twelve Apostles limestone sea stacks, Loch Ard Gorge, and Otway Ranges rainforest.
Day tours from Melbourne 160-220 AUD include 11-hour round-trip, transport, and stops at all major sites. Self-drive the route in 2 days is the better experience - overnight in Apollo Bay or Port Campbell. The Twelve Apostles viewing platform is free; helicopter rides from there 145 AUD per person for a 15-minute flight. November-April for the best weather; the Southern Ocean is rough year-round.
Pro Tip: Self-drive the Great Ocean Road as a 2-day overnight from Melbourne rather than a long day-tour - you arrive at the Twelve Apostles at sunset (the best photo light, completely different from the midday tour-bus crowds). The Apollo Bay Apollo Bay Bakery for the homemade pies is the highlight lunch stop.
