Great Ocean Road Hotel map and travel info

Great Ocean Road, Australia

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Jetstar (www.jetstar.com) flies to the closest local airport, Melbourne Avalon, 22 kilometres from Geelong just north-east of the Great Ocean Road, although most people would start from the Melbourne metropolis.
Trains
V/Line trains (www.vline.com.au) run from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station in the CBD to the town of Geelong, about 50 minutes away, where you can pick u a V/Line bus heading west along the Great Ocean Road stopping at towns such as Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne, Apollo Bay and Warrnambool. Bus services are infrequent though, especially at weekends.
Automobiles
To see the best of the Great Ocean Road, a car is an absolute must. Do it in style by hiring an Aston Martin, Ferrari or something similarly stylish from Melbourne Sports Care Rentals (+61 (0)3 9826 6990; www.melbournesportscarrentials.com.au).
