Great Ocean Road Accommodation
South West Coast - Victoria, Australia

 

Self-contained cottages and bed & breakfast accommodation, along the famous stretch of Victorian coast known as the Great Ocean Road.

The following selection of hosted and self-contained accommodation includes fabulous, seaside and rural cottages where you can kick back and relax for a week or a weekend, or use as a stop on a touring holiday. Many of the cottages are surrounded by bush or vast rural pastureland with views of the ocean, offering the ultimate getaway from city hustle. Others are a little closer to the action in Lorne and Apollo Bay.

Victoria's Great Ocean Road, is one of the world's great scenic coastal drives. From Lorne to Apollo Bay the road hugs the ocean with dense forest and sometimes pastureland srawling down to the road's edge. The road is carved into the side of the steep hills winding back and forth with every contour - each bend revealing another breathtaking view. The road cuts across forest country at Cape Otway, and returns to more open landscape after the Johanna turn offs. The next section to Port Campbell is famous for the Twelve Apostles, and other amazing limestone formations that stand separated from the mainland and buffeted by waves and wind.
