2 Best Hotels in Port Campbell National Park, Great Ocean Road

Set up high in the green, rolling hills, these three luxury villas are designed for couples, with views over Port Campbell and the Southern Ocean. Located near from the township, the adults-only villas are set on 30 acres of farmland (say hello to their miniature Irish donkeys), and are self-catering, but the hosts can supply a breakfast hamper of locally sourced produce including free-range eggs, organic yogurt, and honey. But if the log fire beckons, take the hamper up a notch with the addition of local wine, cheese and crackers, all drawn from the 12 Apostles Food Artisan Trail, a great self-drive tour. The hosts can supply maps and advice on when to beat the crowds at the Twelve Apostles, and the villas are close enough for guests to drop into Port Campbell for dinner. For large groups, the new, nautical-theme beach house down in the village in Port Campbell sleeps up to 12 in four bedrooms (from A$880).

Ideally situated on the edge of Port Campbell National Park, within short walking distance of the town center and beach, these self-catering villas are stylishly furnished and fitted with polished timber floors and high ceilings. Picture windows look out to the bushland surrounding the villas, which include scenic decks and accommodate up to five or six people.
