79 Old Coach Road Princetown VIC 3269

The Great Ocean Road is one of Victoria's most popular attractions for both domestic and international visitors. Feedback from these markets is that the lack of available commercial accommodation and food and beverage offerings reduces the length of visitors stay. Visitors are instead travelling back to Melbourne or on to Warrnambool to find suitable accommodation.

Visit Victoria actively supports the realisation of new accommodation and experiences for the region, including eco-lodges, as proposed for this site. This 48.42 hectare site offers a mix of developable land, natural wetlands, the Gellibrand River and access to the ocean beach within walking distance. This development has been designed to fit within the local environment and enhance the many natural features that the site has to offer.
