The Great Ocean Road Walk

Weave through beautiful national parks
Walk deserted beaches
Gaze over pristine marine sanctuaries
Take a short day walk, or 3, 5, or even 8 days. It’s up to you how long you want to walk for
Have a look at this handy reference to all the walks.

A great way to do the walk is to base yourself at BIG4 Apollo Bay. Tour operator, Walk 91 – Great Ocean Walk, offer a shuttle service every morning and afternoon to and from the nearby Visitor Information Centre. So instead of camping at night on a windy beach in the elements, you can be assured of a warm shower or bath to ease your weary muscles, followed by a comfortable sleep before heading out again the next day to walk the next leg of your journey.

Base yourself at BIG4 Apollo Bay while immersing yourself in this iconic experience.

  Beautiful Caravan Park. We had a lovely Cabin, very clean. Really helpful and friendly staff. I would recommend staying there, they have everything you need and it's all spotlessly clean. Plenty for kids to do and a cute little coffee van for a nice barista coffee in the morning. A little bit of a walk into town, but hey you can just drive ????. Thank you for a lovely stay ????

  My friend and I have just returned from a holiday at Apollo Bay and it was made even more special by our stay at Apollo Bay Pisces. We originally booked 3 nights on a powered site but enjoyed Apollo Bay so much we wanted to extend. Unfortunately couldn't extend on our site and no other sites were available but Tony and the wonderful staff at reception were extremely helpful and we decided on a cabin for the remainder of our holiday. We've stayed at other Big 4 parks before but this one was absolutely the BEST - well maintained/clean and had everything that anyone could want and more. The Coffee Van was great and the Sunday night entertainment at the park was good. Thanks doesn't seem enough for our stay there. I have already recommended this Park to my friends and would love to return someday - you've made our holiday so special.
