GREAT OCEAN ROAD - ROAD TRIP - HIKING, SIGHTSEEING & ARTISAN FOOD TRAIL

Well, this could be the most indulgent or decadent road trip you'll take this year.

Not only will our hosts chauffer you and the small group around to all the best sites along the Great Ocean Road including the awe inspiring 12 Apostles - but you'll also experience the best of the Gourmet Food Trail in Victoria.

We will be eating and drinking all that this region has to offer and then walking it all off, as we drive and walk our way down the Great Ocean Road.

Accommodation - Cabins, multi share or share house style. Limited own room options. Be quick. Exact accommodation depends on our guest numbers. Most accommodation options are Twin Share.

Transport - is in modern comfortable vehicles. Includes transfers for you, to and from Melbourne Airport on Friday night and back to the Airport after the trip.

Food - Gourmet Food offered every step of the way. Your hosts will be cooking up breakfast and dinner each day using quality local produce, some that we will source along our way. We cater for all food allergies. We'll be visiting many of the delicious venue's on the infamous Victorian Artisan Food Trail. From sweet treats like ice cream, chocolate, fudge and fresh scones to the wonderful creamy savory delights of Schultz family farm cheesery, olives and Apollo Bay's famous scollap pies. We have all your tipples covered as we'll be sampling locally produced wine, beer, cider, gin and whisky along the way.
