Great Ocean Ecolodge @ The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology

Great Ocean Walk

The Great Ocean Walk takes in some of the most spectacular coastline in the world - rugged cliffs, sheltered beaches, windswept heathlands and majestic forests. 
 
 
'The Art of Walking' is a stunning documentary which follows in the footsteps of three remarkable walkers as they take a journey along this spectacular coastline. Watch the three minute trailer here.  We will upload the complete documentary as soon as we can.

Why not plan your own Great Ocean Walk here and now?!
 
The Great Ocean Ecolodge is the perfect base from which to explore this magnificent walk - this is the Greatest Ocean Walk! 

As well as breathtaking vistas, soaring cliff tops and pristine bushland, one of the Great Ocean Walk's greatest attributes is its flexibility.  Carefully designed so you can either complete the entire 104km from Apollo Bay to Glenample Homestead at the Twelve Apostles, or compile your own shorter itinerary, The Great Ocean Walk offers the walking experience of a lifetime.

The track is beautifully constructed and very clearly signed to enable independent navigation.  This is a journey of self-discovery so set your own pace and choose your own company.  We will help you to create your unique itinerary and will equip you with personalised hike notes. Guide yourselves in blissful solitude!
