The Great Ocean Road traces a spectacular route along Victoria’s dramatic coastline, where sheer limestone cliffs are buffeted by rolling surf, and the Twelve Apostles rise like colossal statues out of the sea. Nestled into the feet of the Otway Ranges, Apollo Bay is one of the region’s most inviting seaside towns, with fantastic beaches and plenty of restaurants and activities to tempt the visitor.

Hit the coastline with today’s Groupon for: The International

The Hotel

The road trip of a lifetime leads right to the door of The International, nestled sleepy small town streets and the lapping azure waters of Apollo Bay. Groupies bed down in a Deluxe Suite, replete with stylish furnishings, a large LCD television and a comfy Moran sofa on which to unwind after a day of swimming or sightseeing. A luxuriously tiled bathroom featuring a twin spa bath affords sojourning lovebirds with a perfect place to relax. Each day begins with a continental breakfast allowing peeps to stockpile all the energy they’ll need for exploring the stately natural wonders which surround the property.

Peeps indulge on one day of their stay with a 30-minute massage for each guest in the Apollo Bay Day Spa, a bastion of relaxation and indulgence. Late checkout at 1pm on the final day of the stay affords guests with the opportunity to take one last lungful of fresh ocean air before they return to the smoggy metropolis.

 

Groupon Recommends

Groupies take advantage of their discounts for The Bistro, Great Ocean Hotel to sample some of the local delicacies that the restaurant cooks up for famished folks. A daytrip to see the wild splendour of the Twelve Apostles, which rise from the ocean about 1.5-hour’s drive to the west of the motel, allows peeps to take in the rugged natural splendour of the area. Wake early and get there at sunrise to watch the towering limestone bluffs transform from eerie, shadowy forms in the darkness to brilliant golden sentinels under a full sun.

Be sure to stop off at nearby Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge, and take a detour to Cape Otway on the way back, where the road winds through thick forest canopies to reveal native animals and magnificent coastal views from the headland. Outdoorsy folk could also get into the swing of Apollo Bay’s fishing heritage and cast out a line in the harbour; or head inland to explore the lush rainforest, waterfalls and walking tracks of the Otway Ranges.

 

Reviews

Absolutely ideal accommodation for a nights stay along the Great Ocean Road. Situated right in the middle of Apollo Bay on the main road.
