An Unforgettable Two-Day Coastal Escape

Embark on a spectacular journey along one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives. This premium two-day itinerary allows you to bypass the rushed day-trips and truly immerse yourself in the natural wonder, rich history, and incredible wildlife of the Great Ocean Road. 🌊

Day One: Coastal Wonders and Wildlife Encounters

Your adventure begins with a refreshing stroll along the beautifully transformed Geelong waterfront. Breathe in the clean coastal air before heading to the surfing haven of Torquay. Here, we turn our attention to the native bushland to spot Eastern Grey Kangaroos grazing in their natural habitat.

As we wind along the spectacular, cliff-hugging roads, we stop at the historic Memorial Arch to uncover the poignant story of its construction. After a delicious lunch in the seaside village of Lorne, we continue our journey to Kennett River. Keep your eyes peeled for wild koalas cradled in the eucalypts and vibrant native birds. 🐨

Conclude your day at the spectacular Apollo Bay before retreating to your luxury accommodation at Chris’s Restaurant and Villas. Perched high on a hill, your private self-contained villa offers breathtaking views of the Southern Ocean. In the evening, indulge in a sumptuous two-course Greek and French-inspired dinner at the highly renowned on-site restaurant.

Day Two: Ancient Rainforests and Iconic Formations

Wake up to a delightful continental breakfast overlooking the ocean before journeying into the heart of the Great Otway National Park. Walk among ancient tree ferns and towering eucalypts in a cool-temperate rainforest. As we travel through the Aire River valley, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the region’s rich Aboriginal heritage and its prehistoric dinosaur-era past.

Arrive at the world-famous 12 Apostles in the pristine morning light. By visiting early, you will experience these majestic limestone stacks crowd-free and perfectly illuminated for spectacular photos. 📸

Next, explore the dramatic Loch Ard Gorge. Discover the tragic 19th-century shipwreck story through original artefacts and documents preserved in our unique treasure chests. After a relaxing lunch in the charming fishing village of Port Campbell, we explore the lesser-known wonders of London Bridge, the Bay of Islands, and the Bay of Martyrs, before returning to Melbourne.
