The complete guide to the Great Ocean Walk.
The most popular destination along the Great Ocean Road is
The 12 Apostles
The 12 Apostles is without a doubt the most popular destination along the entire Great Ocean Road. These majestic limestone stacks have been a drawcard for tourists for generations now. Both domestic and international travellers have the Apostles firmly on their bucket list. It may come as a surprise to some that there isn’t actually twelve apostles – there are only eight remaining with two having fallen into the sea in the past ten years. In fact there wasn’t even 12 to begin with. The Shipwreck Coast can dish up some wild weather and the action of rain, wind and waves over time means that these fragile limestone stacks will not be around forever. So, now is the time to enjoy them! If you like sunrises and sunsets then you really do need to visit these awesome structures. The 12 Apostles is the best place along the Great Ocean Road for sunsets. 12 Apostles accommodation is limited as development is not allowed but there are a few.
Below you’ll find a few options for
12 Apostles Accommodation
Macka’s Farm Lodge
Macka’s Farm Lodge is located in Princetown just a short drive from the 12 Apostles. The property has three self contained lodges and a farmhouse. Two of the lodges have 2 sleeping areas and the third has 3 bedrooms. Fantastic for group accommodation. All three lodges form the homestead and they all have gorgeous views across the farm, bush and to the ocean.

Daysy Hill Country Cottages located in Port Campbell are set within spacious gardens with majestic country views. The cottages offer self-contained accommodation at the end of the Great Ocean Walk.
