Great Ocean Walk Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Took the photo of my life on the Great Ocean Road! (With Tesla self-driving guide)
I went to the Great Ocean Road three times before I took the perfect foggy photo!! 2 days and 1 night on the Great Ocean Road, I experienced sunny weather, fog, strong wind, and heavy rain. The weather on the Great Ocean Road is really unpredictable!! It's because of the unpredictable weather that makes the 276-kilometer Great Ocean Road more fun to drive.
·
The most beautiful shooting spot on the Great Ocean Road is Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! I have to say it three times. Walking down the Gibson Steps, you can see the big rocks and watch the sunset on the beach. It's only a few minutes' drive from the Twelve Apostles lookout. There are fewer people in the morning and at sunset. Whether you can encounter the right fog depends on your luck~
·
Self-driving route reference
D1: Depart from Melbourne - Charge in Geelong - Split Point Lookout - Apollo Bay - Marriners Lookout - Gibson Steps - 12 Apostles - Stay in Port Campbell, all along the coastline
D2: Port Campbell - London Bridge - Bay of Islands - Charge in Warrnambool - Return to Melbourne inland
·
The weather really determines the watchability of the Great Ocean Road. The weather was great on the first day, sunny all the way, and there was fog at sunset, which made every photo look good. It rained on the second day, and the wind was so strong that I was in a mess. I had to leave the coastline in a hurry and wander around the farm near Warrnambool. I really like the farms in Australia, the cows are so cute.
·
Accommodation:
There are quite a few towns where you can stay on the Great Ocean Road. Many tourists will stay in Apollo Bay. If you want to take pictures of the sunset at the Twelve Apostles, I suggest you stay in Port Campbell like I did. It's only a 10-minute drive from the Twelve Apostles and about 10 minutes from London Bridge.
·
Self-driving:
I experienced driving a Tesla Model Y on the Great Ocean Road for everyone, and I really didn't have any range anxiety.
The starting point of the Great Ocean Road, Geelong, and the end point, Warrnambool, both have Tesla's own superchargers. I set off from Geelong with a full charge and drove along the coastline, stopping and taking pictures along the way. When I arrived in Warrnambool, I still had 35% of the battery left. After charging, I drove back to Melbourne from the inland with 40% of the battery left. I only needed to charge twice for the round trip on the Great Ocean Road, and the supercharger was basically full within 40 minutes. At present, Model Y is still free to charge, I rented a Tesla to save fuel, but I didn't expect to save electricity, it's really great~
In addition to Geelong and Warrnambool, there are also 2 superchargers on the inland highway section, I remember they are in Cobden and Colac, ensuring that there is no range anxiety along the way~ Tesla car owners can rest assured to charge on the Great Ocean Road!

The world's most beautiful coastal road | Classic must-play travel route
Presumably, it is the first checkpoint for many people to visit Melbourne, and it is easy to reach the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne.
Our itinerary follows the coastal road, and we drove and played for more than 6 hours until we reached the Twelve Apostles. The Great Ocean Road is about 1-1.5 hours' drive from Melbourne (about 75 kilometers).
The Great Ocean Road can be said to be a paradise for nature lovers, with spectacular coastlines and dense tropical rainforests intertwined. Along this road, you can easily capture various Instagram-worthy scenery.
Route: Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway - Split Point Lighthouse - The Grotto - Gibson Steps - Twelve Apostles and many other attractions that I can't remember. I heard that the rocks of the Twelve Apostles are slowly disappearing, so I really really have to go once in my lifetime.
Scenery of the Great Ocean Road in Australia
The Great Ocean Road was built in memory of the soldiers who participated in the First World War, including many veterans. More than 3,000 workers contributed their hard work to its construction. The road began construction in 1919 and was completed in 1932. The Great Ocean Road winds along the west coast of Victoria, offering visitors magnificent ocean views and countless beach activities.

Gibson steps
#celebratewithtrip
the next stop of my great ocean road road trip was actually the Gibson steps. it can be quite tiring as there were a lot of stairs to reach to the destination and climbing all the way down would also mean that you will have to climb up again to reach your original place of arrival. nevertheless the view was really pretty and fabulous and you can take very nice pictures over here. would highly recommend to come here if you have the chance during your road trip. you can take plenty of memorable pictures here and do note it can be quite sandy so you might want to remove your shoes for more comfort.
Great Ocean Road is just astonishing.
A visit to GOR during good weather is just astonishing. Love the vibes in GOR.
The Gibson ladder is so magnificent, we are deeply attracted to the past.
When we walked down the Gibson ladder and stepped down, the sky had evolved from golden to sky blue, and the beach finally woke up, and we missed the beautiful moment.
I heard that the Gibson ladder was perfected by a Westerner named Gibson. It is said to be very dangerous and dangerous, but for those of you who have walked through the Huashan scorpion and the skywalk, it is simply a pediatrics.

Seafarers Getaway Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Wake Up To This Dream View
Address - 6080 Great Ocean Rd, Apollo Bay VIC 3233, Australia
Ambiance/Facilities - Kitchen, Toilet (no bathtub), Shared backyard, Alpaca farm
Highlights - Everything
Avg. Price per Person - $250 a night when I booked on Trip.com
Rating - 5/5
This is by far my favourite accommodations. Period. Each room is basically a small house on its own which provides ample privacy. You wake up every morning overlooking the ocean from The Great Ocean Road. There’s a kitchen for you to prep meals to have a more intimate or cozy dining experience. There’re even alpacas you can feed in the vicinity. If you’re lucky, you can use the telescope to look at some stars at night!

Are you someone whose a sunrise or sunset chaser? We were at Pebble Point, a camping site near the great ocean road which we booked via the trip app and little did we know we were able to catch the beautiful view of the sunrise right outside of our tent.
So what we did was, do a time lapse video! Enjoy!

Apollo Bay Staycation
Had the most amazing stay at apollo bay with Seafarers Getaway.
Imaging having a bbq, with great food, wine and an amazing view of the ocean and the sunset. It was just breathtaking.
Apollo bay was also just a 10mins drive away with great food especially the fish(Barramundi) and chips. Seafarers Getaway is also approx a 45-60mins drive to the popular great ocean road and also to the famous otway rainforest where you can catch glowworm at night.
We also get to feed the lamas right before check-in and also seeing them grazing the grass early in the morning!
This is a place that I would definitely come back.

Australia | Must-see hotel on the Great Ocean Road to see the scenery starry sky alpaca
This time the Great Ocean Road chooses to live in Seafarers Getaway in Apollo Bay, this hotel is built on the hillside of the road, the bedroom is the floor-to-ceiling windows The scenery is beautiful!
Room type must book a two-bedroom villa, the one bedroom is at the bottom, not high enough to be wide. We are very fortunate to get the highest row of three rooms on the side (there is only one side in the middle), the main bedroom is full of large glass windows on both sides, it is super beautiful!
The room is apartment-style, you can cook for yourself. Driving in 5 minutes is the town of Apollo Bay. There are restaurants and supermarkets. It is highly recommended to buy food and come back to do it yourself, then look at the scenery on the outside terrace, and suddenly feel that this is life, only one night is really reluctant to leave.
The Great Ocean Road has very little light pollution, the air is clear, and you can see the starry sky at night. It is a pity that there was a cloud that night, and only one of them was photographed in the gap between the clouds. In the Milky Way, the stars were shining. It turns out that the stars are really blue, and the book is not a lie.
There are all pastures around the house. You can also tease and watch the alpacas you want to laugh at.
This hotel is very red. It is said that the peak season should be booked a few months in advance. The off-season is much better. We booked it almost ten days in advance.

Apollo Bay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Apollo bay
#celebratewithtrip
as part of my great ocean road road trip I also went to the Apollo bay to visit. the beach was nice and clean and felt really refreshing and relaxing. stopped by here for lunch and of course one of the most important and definitely must try dishes at Apollo bay would be the fish and chips. they were good and fresh. there are several restaurants nearby for you to explore. also there are a variety of shops over here for you to just browse and stroll around. they sell many surfers stuff in fact. it was nice walking around here and just chilling. a must visit as part of your road trip if you have the chance.
Outstanding view and fresh seafood!
Apollo Bay Fisherman’s Co.op was Offering nicely cooked fish & chips, grilled scallops and prawns is the hallmark of this restaurant. It's time to try tasty fresh seafood and good watermelon salads.It might be nice to try great tea and you can select between indoor and outdoor seating. As for me i had choose an outdoor seating for it’s soectacular viee. The Apollo Bay Fishermen's Co-Op i can rated it at 4/5.
Low cloud clung to the hills and valleys as I wound our way around the Great Ocean Road and into Apollo Bay. It is a better for adding some dramatic atmosphere to my journey, and the perfect back drop to to ocean-front fish and chips.
The Fish & Chips at the Fishermans co-op is worth a stroll out to the harbour (10 mins gentle walk from the main street). We walked past quite a few other restaurants, but the picturesque setting out at the harbour was really great and awesome.
2 Pieces of fish,calamari, and a large chips was perfect for me and friends with some fresh scallop too.
I stopped here for lunch on a beautiful sunny winters day.
The place was really packed with tourists and small tour buses stopped here for lunch.
The food was so fresh while the fish and scallops were so tasty as they were so fresh and very highly recommend. The seafood platters looked amazing too.
As for me, the Apollo bay service, great seafood, great setting And i really Loved it so much and would comeback again for the next trip

Our overnight stop on the Great Ocean Road
#bucketlistreboot
Apollo Bay is one of the most picturesque seaside villages in Australia. Tucked away in the foothills of the incredible Otways, the bay is a haven for water lovers and adventure travellers.
Come to Apollo Bay town and enjoy freshly caught seafood and fish.
Thanks to its status as a traditional fishing village, Apollo Bay is renowned for its dedication to seafood, and there’s even a festival that caters solely to this cuisine in February. Oysters 🦪 are a must-try dish here as it is so deliciously fresh.
As most of the restaurants closed pretty early, do check out their closing time and plan in advance so you won’t be disappointed.
On the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne, I met a group of wild parrots, especially those who are not afraid of being born. If you have food on your hands, you will swarm and even stand on your head and squirt []
