Great Ocean Road & The Grampians Holidays

Best explored over a couple of days, the iconic Great Ocean Road is famous for its spectacular coastline, dramatic cliffs and the rugged splendour of the Twelve Apostles. One of the world’s great road trips, this unforgettable journey offers a choice of idyllic overnight stops, from the quaint old fishing village of Port Fairy to the sweeping sands of Apollo Bay and the charming seaside town of Warrnambool, where migratory whales can often be spotted off the coast (Jun - Oct).

A scenic drive inland leads to the Grampians National Park, a nature lover’s paradise, home to an incredible mountain landscape dotted with small towns. Visit the majestic Mackenzie Falls or head up to the famous Reeds Lookout to revel in the vast beauty of the park from its highest point.

The region is also celebrated for its local produce, award winning wineries and welcoming country hospitality. At the heart of the Grampians lies Halls Gap, a picturesque village famed for its gourmet food experiences and abundant native wildlife. Kangaroos, wallabies and curious emus are frequently spotted roaming the surrounding bushland.
