Girls Holiday Ideas
The drive along the Great Ocean Road is stunning in itself but any trip to the Great Ocean Road must include a stop at the 12 Apostles. Either stop on your way to your final destination or take a day trip from your girls getaway base.
On your drive along the Great Ocean Road, you’ll have plenty of places to stop, stretch your legs, take in the awe-inspiring views and get some insta-worthy selfies – be sure to keep your eyes peeled for whales if you’re visiting between May and September.
Natural Attractions
If you’re keen to include some natural attractions on your girls holiday you can take a walk through one of the national parks featuring breathtaking scenery, local wildlife & waterfalls or spend a day at the beach. You and the girls could enjoy a fun morning taking surfing lessons before lazing the rest of the day away on the beach bliss!
Shopping
And of course… shopping is a must on a girls weekend away. The Great Ocean Road is home to boutique stores showcasing local wares so you’ll be able to find the perfect souvenir to take home as a keepsake from your girls getaway. Be sure to check if any markets are on while you’re visiting too.
Pampering and Relaxation
A girls vacation is never complete without a bit of pampering. Visit one of the renowned day spas or wellness centres along the Great Ocean Road to rejuvenate, relax and indulge. Ideal if you’ve done a bit of hiking, biking or one of the thrill-seeking adventures on offer.
Culture, Arts & Music
Explore the Great Ocean Road’s history in one of the museums, browse through art galleries showcasing local talent or check out what events are on – the Great Ocean Road is a hive of culture, arts and music throughout the year.
