Top Great Ocean Walk Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Eastern Reef Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended if you’re spending the night in Port Campbell after exploring the 12 Apostles. The cottage we stayed in is adorable and well-equipped for simple home cooking, with the town centre not too far away. We loved the beautiful flower gardens and, of course, meeting the sheep! It had everything we needed for a lovely stay."

Sea Foam Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful one-night stay in a one-bedroom family spa apartment. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, airy, and beautifully laid out, with lovely high ceilings, a balcony with a partial sea view, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything we needed (and more, including a dishwasher!). The location is fantastic, with the beach just across the road and plenty of lovely cafés and restaurants within a five-minute walk. Port Campbell itself is a gorgeous area to explore. Our apartment was on the second floor with stair access, so I’d recommend requesting a ground-floor apartment for anyone with mobility difficulties. We did stay on a particularly windy night, which made the wind noticeable against the windows and doors, but this didn’t detract from our overall experience. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We’d wholeheartedly recommend these apartments and would definitely return if we were in the area again."

Twelve Apostles Motel & Country Retreat

8/10 Good

"Great Country Retreat, the staff was great with directing to my room but no mention of breakfast or dinner options & room was great with plenty of appliances & tv had regular apps to watch something on it, plenty of space with bed, lounge, bathroom & little kitchen area"

Daysy Hill Country Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Our Daysy Hill Cottages one-night stay in a spa suite was delightful. Reception was smooth and the lady operating it was thoughtful in the advice and suggestions she gave us about where to eat and what to do during our short stay. The suite was clean and the gas fireplace heated the room beautifully. The amenities were perfect and would also be adequate for a much longer stay. The view from our suite looked out over the valley making the outside verandah a lovely place to relax with a beverage and take in the surroundings. This stay was our favourite on our 5 night Great Ocean Road trip and we wished we had booked 2 nights. I would say also that while Port Campbell is tiny it was quaint and appealing. The town was clean and fresh in appearance and offered a good array of dining options. It was a good location from which to travel to see many key highlights of the Great Ocean Road drive."

NRMA Port Campbell Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Cabin 5. It was self-contained, with air conditioning and heating, a private bathroom, TV, and a full kitchen featuring a fridge, oven, stovetop, and microwave. The cabin was clean and spacious for 2 people. The heated mattress pad was a thoughtful touch and helped on cold evenings. Literally steps from the start of the Port Campbell Discovery Walk trail. It is also a short drive to major sights like the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, the park amenities spotless, and the riverside atmosphere quiet."
