Has anyone stayed at the Waves in Port Campbell? Any information appreciated.

G'day, <BR>looks like that there is no one who has been staying at the &quot;Waves&quot;. <BR>We usually stay in cabins at the Camping Ground. <BR>They are quite separate from the camping area and very well equipped and fitted out. <BR><BR>How are you traveling along the GOR? <BR>It's a great area, but watch for school holidays. It can get pretty busy at those times. <BR>If you need any other info then just ask here. <BR>Enjoy, <BR>Mike

Thanks for the reply. We will be driving... since we only have a day and a half I thought that we would take the inland route to Warmambool and then follow the GOR to Port Campbell and stay overnight and then continue to Melbourne slowly the next day.<BR><BR>When are school holidays... our entire trip is the second half of November.<BR>Starting in Port Douglas, then Brisbane, then Sidney, and ending in Melbourne before back to New York, New York.<BR><BR>Thanks again.<BR>

Hi, <BR>you won't have any problems regards school holidays, they start much closer to Christmas. <BR>If the wind blows from the south when you are there it can be a bit cool, take a windcheater with you! <BR>Make sur that your windscreen washer bottle is full. The spray off the sea can make a mess of your windscreen and you will be driving against the rising sun for a while. <BR>There are also a couple of areas of remnant temperate climate rainforest along your route. Ask for the exact location when you are in Port Campbell. <BR><BR>A pity you only have a day and a half. With a little more time you could have driven via Ballarat and the Grampians. <BR><BR>Enjoy, <BR>Mike

Hi bjw,<BR><BR>I haven't stayed there (I was at a Flag property now changing to a Comfort Inn) but I saw the &quot;Waves&quot; while in Port Campbell in December. Looks pretty standard type motel - clean and neat accommodations, pretty much all the same there (you could &quot;drag main&quot; in Port Campbell in about 5 minutes) :)<BR><BR>Melodie<BR>Certified Aussie Specialist
