You will never be at a loss for what to see on the Great Ocean Road. On a Great Ocean Road trip from Melbourne, you’ll weave along mountainsides, revel in striking seaside vistas and delve into Australia’s verdant green rainforest.
The towns that dot this Great Ocean Road itinerary are laid back, surfy and sophisticated. They offer everything that travelers would expect from this part of Australia including places to stay along the Great Ocean Road that are comfortable, clean, and provide the sea-side living you may be looking for.
But don’t even think about doing a Great Ocean Road tour in just one day. It may technically be about 5 hours from Torquay to Warrnambool. But you’ll be crawling along at a snail’s pace. There are just so many things to see on Great Ocean Road drives!
That’s why a Great Ocean Road trip has always made its way onto our list of the top 5 road trips to do in Australia.
Where Does the Great Ocean Road Start?
Torquay marks the start of the Great Ocean Road. The drive ends in Warrnambool.
However, some people chose to extend their road trip so it includes Melbourne to Adelaide via Great Ocean Road or Adelaide to Melbourne via Great Ocean Road.
However, starting from Melbourne on a Great Ocean Rd tour is the superior choice because when you are traveling from Melbourne on an Australia Great Ocean Road tour you will be on the side of the road closest to the ocean.
The start of the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne is about 1 hour and 20 minutes away. However, factor the traffic around the city into your drive time from Melbourne to Great Ocean Road.

Teddy’s Lookout
Lorne to Teddy’s Lookout Drive: 2.4 kilometres // 4 minutes
If views are what you are in for then look no further than Teddy’s Lookout. Located just minutes from Lorne, you’ll find sweeping vistas of the Saint George River draining into the Pacific Ocean. It is a short walk from the carpark to the viewing platforms and sometimes you can spot koalas along the way.
Phantom Falls
Teddy’s Lookout to Phantom Falls Drive: 5.2 kilometres // 12 minutes
Head 12 minutes inland from Teddy’s Lookout to Phantom Falls. This impressive waterfall can be reached via a 800 metre walk from the car park. You can cool off in the waters at the foot of the waterfall however there are no facilities onsite.
Detour: Sheoak Falls and Swallow Cave Trail
Phantom Falls to Sheoak Falls Car Park Drive: 9.4 kilometres // 16 minutes
This 2.8 km walk is a great way to get amongst nature at Otway National Park. The trail culminates at Sheoak Falls and Swallow Cave where birds can be seen nesting from spring to fall. It is a fairly easy walk that should take no more than 1 hour.
Kennet River
Sheoak Falls Car Park to Kennett River Drive: 17 kilometres // 22 minutes
Blink and you might miss the quaint town of Kennett River. It’s made up of a small collection of sea facing holiday homes, a holiday park, and a cafe that services the area. However, what really makes this section of the Great Ocean Road special is the Kennett River koalas.
Leave your car at the Kafe Koala parking lot and follow Grey River Road upwards. In our experience, it won’t take you long to spot a koala or two in the heights of the eucalyptus trees. However, it will likely be encircled by a crowd of gawking, ground-dwelling tourists. For a more personal encounter continue further up Grey River Road. Once we were away from the crowds we were lucky enough to spot a koala, up close, on the ground running from tree to tree.
Koalas aside, Grey River Road affords a great opportunity to stretch your legs and take in some amazing hilltop views. You’ll notice tourists feeding and posing with swathes of wild birds at the entrance to Grey River Road on this section of your Great Ocean Road itinerary.
While we wholeheartedly agree that it is great to see these incredible King Parrots, Cockatoos, and Rainbow Lorikeets up close, we wouldn’t recommend feeding them out of hand. These are wild animals, so it’s simply not great for their welfare to be touching them.
Places to Stay in Kennett River
We recommend passing through Kenneth River, but if you wanted to spend a night in this small town, consider staying at one of these spots.
- Wye Escape: This lovely holiday home is 6 km from Kennett River. It has incredible ocean views, a great patio, and can fit up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms.

Apollo Bay
Kennett River to Apollo Bay Drive: 23 kilometres // 27 minutes
Apollo Bay is next up on your Great Ocean Road itinerary. This lovely seaside town is all yellow sand and laid back vibes.
Things to Do in Apollo Bay:
- Check out Mariners Lookout: This is a highlight of any one day Great Ocean Road tour. The expansive views of Apollo Bay and the waters which flank it are stunning. From the Mariners Lookout parking lot there is a short but steep 0.5 km climb to the top. You might even spot hang gliders jumping from its height.
- Go to Apollo Bay Beach: This 3km calm beach is located in-town. It is a great place for sunbathing or swimming.

Beauchamp Falls is a 20 metre high waterfall which can be reached via a half hour walk. There are picnic facilities at the entrance of the track and a viewing platform once you get there. However, there is no access to the waterfall itself, or its pool.
Hopetoun Falls
Beauchamp Falls to Hopetoun Falls Drive: 7.5 kilometres // 18 minutes
Hopetoun is located just 7.5 kilometres down the road from Beauchamp Falls. Nestled in the Beechwood Forest, Hopetoun Falls has an impressive 30 metre drop. There are a couple of viewing platforms and steps available to descend to the bottom of the falls. However, they can get quite slippery so be careful and wear sturdy shoes.
Cape Otway Lightstation
Hopetoun Falls to Cape Otway Lightstation Drive: 64.5 kilometres // 1 hour 5 minutes

- Explore the Grounds: They are open from 9am-5pm each day and admission is $20. Learn about the lighthouses’ history, its keepers, shipwrecks, and the history of the aboriginals that originally occupied this land.
- Take a Hike: There are a number of great trails that spring from the light station grounds. If you have the time we recommend that you do the 8-hour loop to Blanket Bay. Not only is Blanket Bay both beautiful and secluded, but the trail towards Blanket Bay is a great way to catch whales just off-shore.

Castle Cove
Cape Otway Lightstation to Castle Cove Drive: 25 kilometres // 27 minutes
Castle Cove is an expansive sandy beach which is popular for surfing, sunbathing, or just to stretch your legs. However, it is unsuitable for swimming due to the powerful rip that dominates the waters out front of the beach.
Castle Cove is one of the few places where the Great Ocean Road and the Great Ocean Walk converge. This is an off the beaten track stop which most sightseeing tours companies miss.
Johannas Beach
Castle Cove to Johannas Beach Drive: 5.5 kilometres // 8 minutes
Johannas Beach was named after a ship that was wrecked on its shores. Like Castle Cove, it is known for its powerful surf and convergence with the Great Ocean Walk.
In previous years, the Bells Beach surf competition has moved to Johannas Beach because the swell has been better and bigger at Johannas Beach than at Bells.
Port Campbell National Park
Johannas Beach to the 12 Apostles Drive: 52 kilometres // 50 minutes
The 12 Apostles are what really put the Great Ocean Road on the map. When people are traveling on the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne, 12 Apostles are what are on most people’s minds. These massive wind-sculpted formations which stand out of the Southern Ocean are truly impressive however there are some close runner ups in Port Campbell National Park.
Things to Do in Port Campbell National Park:
- See the 12 Apostles: Spend some time getting to know Port Campbell National Park by traversing the parks countless cliff-top boardwalks to take in the views of the 8 Apostles still standing.You will have to park on the side of the road opposite the shore and take the short pathway to the viewing platforms. Most people head to the 12 Apostles at sunset, which is a spectacular time to see them. However, keep in mind it can just be quite busy at that time.
- Visit Gibson Steps: To feel really tiny, descend the steps at Gibson Steps and stand at the foot of Port Campbell National Park’s mammoth cliffs.

Port Campbell
12 Apostles to Port Campbell Drive: 11 kilometres // 10 minutes
Port Campbell itself is a tiny gem of a town. It is mainly a place to base yourself while you explore the area rather than a destination in and of itself. However, there is an attractive beach for the days you don’t want to go far.
Things to Do in Port Campbell:
- Visit the Beach: There is a small beach and a great foreshore which makes the perfect picnic spot. As one of the few swimmable beaches in the area, Port Campbell beach can get very busy during the summer months.
- Eat and Drink: Visit the Grassroots Cafe for tasty loose leaf tea or Sow and Piglets micro-brewery for a craft beer. While you’re there ask for the story behind the Sow and Piglets name (hint: it was the original name of the 12 Apostles).
Places to Stay in Port Campbell:
- Eastern Reef Cottages: This rural option offers individual cottages which were crafted with sustainability in mind with materials like reclaimed timbers. Each cottage is clean, has its own kitchen and personal touches like fresh flowers on arrival. It’s a great place to lay your head on a Great Ocean Road Itinerary, 2 days long.
- Port O’ Call Motel: Located in the center of Port Campbell, this stylish boutique motel has comfy beds, is steps from the beach and close to restaurants and shops.
The Arch
Port Campbell to the Arch Drive: 7 kilometres // 7 minutes
This interesting natural attraction was formed like most other rock formations along the shipwreck coast. Simply, by waves persistently crashing into the cliffside. The Arch, Great Ocean Road, is a reminder of the power of the sea.
To reach the viewing platform at the Great Ocean Road the Arch, follow the short path from the carpark. It is about 300 metres return.
London Bridge
The Arch to London Bridge Drive: 1.5 kilometres // 4 minutes
London Bridge, Great Ocean Road, got its name because it was originally connected to the mainland. Visitors to the area would often drive their vehicles onto the top of the Great Ocean Road London Bridge or walk. However, in 1990 the connecting piece collapsed. No one was injured but the few tourists who were on top of the bridge had to be rescued by helicopter.
Today, visitors come to see the rock formation and the stunning beach which fringes the coastline. There are two viewing platforms which can be reached via a short walk from the car park.
The Grotto
London Bridge to the Grotto Drive: 2 kilometres // 5 minutes
The Grotto, Great Ocean Road, is another unique natural attraction. The sinkhole naturally frames the ocean beyond it and can be reached via a set of stairs. It is a popular spot to snap a pic! The trip from the carpark can take 40 minutes return.
The Bay of Islands
The Grotto Drive to the Bay of Islands: 10 kilometres // 10 minutes
En route to your final stop you’ll pass the gorgeous (highly underrated) Bay of Islands. Along this 32 kilometre stretch of coastal reserve, you’ll find plenty of clifftop viewing platforms to pull off to. Like the 12 Apostles, the Bay of Islands is known for its interesting limestone stacks which are located just off shore. If you want to put your feet in the sand then stop at Three Mile Beach or Childers Cove.
Warrnambool
The Bay of Islands to Warrnambool: 48 kilometres // 40 minutes
Your final stop on the Great Ocean Road itinerary is the town of Warrnambool.
Things to Do in Warrnambool:

The Best Time to Visit the Great Ocean Road
There are four seasons along the Great Ocean Road: summer, spring, fall, and winter. Summer takes place from December to February. It is the most popular time to complete the Great Ocean Road map of attractions because the hot weather means visitors can take advantage of the beautiful beaches dotted along the way. However, peak season means that attractions can sometimes get crowded and prices are at their highest.
Spring is from September to November and Fall is from March to May. In our opinion, this is the most pleasant time to visit the Great Ocean Road. The weather is still warm and crowds have largely dispersed.
A winter Great Ocean Road itinerary has its perks as well. From June to August, the weather can be blustery but prices are at their lowest and you will likely have the majority of Great Ocean Road attractions to yourself. It also coincides with the whale migration. From June to October Southern Right Whales can often be spotted from the shore.
Great Ocean Road Drive Time & Distance:
If you are wondering how long is the Great Ocean Road, it can be completed within the following distance and drive time.
Total Distance: 281 kms.
Total Drive Time: 5 hours
However, keep in mind these are the durations for the most direct route of the Great Ocean Road on map. Detours inland will add kilometres and time to your overall Great Ocean Road road trip.
Great Ocean Road Drive Itinerary
You could really spend days getting to know each of these towns but if you really want to just see the main sights and attractions without rushing too much we suggest to give 5 nights, 5 days to your Great Ocean Road itinerary.
That means spending one night in Torquay in order to start your Great Ocean Road tour itinerary early in the morning. Then spend your next night in Lorne, Apollo Bay, and Port Campbell before finishing in Warrnambool.
On the other hand if you only have time for a Great Ocean Road day trip, then you can start in Melbourne and make it to 12 Apostles for sunset with lunch in Apollo Bay without too many other Great Ocean Road stops on your Great Ocean Road day tour.
