hi,
Just wanted to find out if its doable to do the GOR trip without bookings in advance. Was afraid of booking because that would have limited my adventure. Would not want to rush to get to the hotel. I intend to leave melbourne this afternoon.

Thanks

Good luck at this time of year. There is a place in Apollo bay that takes one nighters

Cheers

Tim

Marengo Beachbreak in Apollo Bay does single nights all year, though it is dog friendly, it is as clean as a whistle with comfortable rooms.

Hello we are planning on doing the GOR at Easter. Where would be the best place to stop for the first and second night traveling from Melb CBD? Thanks

Hi,

Your challenge will be to find single nights over easter. Try for Torquay or Lorne for night one, then Apollo bay
Cheers

Hi,

Depends on what time you leave Melbourne, if you make it to Torquay or Lorne for the first night you can leave in the early afternoon then drive on day two to Port Campbell. If you leave early in the day make it to Apollo Bay for the first night and Port Campbell for the second getting the Apostles at Sunset and Sunrise after a day in the Apollo Bay hinterland

Cheers

As you have a month consider a figure of eight centred on melbourne doing Great Ocean Road, Grampians Goldfields, and on the other side Phillip Island, Wilson’s promontory, coming back along Princes Highway or even crossing through the ski fields from Gippsland

Hi,

We’re planning on driving the Great Ocean Road in November in a camper van. We’ve hired it for a month but I would love some tips of places you can stop over whilst on the road? I’ve never done anything like this before so I don’t know where you are allowed to stop over etc.

Thanks for any help
