Eco Certified Experiences Across the Great Ocean Road
The Great Ocean Road region has always had a deep connection to the landscapes that make it so special, windswept coastlines, ancient rainforest, native wildlife. More and more, that connection is being backed up, with businesses right across the region achieving formal eco and sustainability certifications for the way they operate.
Our Eco Certified Stays & Experiences
Great Ocean Road Resort, Anglesea
Great Ocean Road Resort has proudly achieved ECO Certification, and honestly, it shows. Sustainability runs through almost everything here, from the local produce on the menu at The Coast Restaurant to the wellness experiences on offer at Lux Spa. It’s all part of the resort’s deep commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the region while still delivering an exceptional stay. We love seeing luxury and low-impact living come together this well.
Wildlife Wonders Tours
Wildlife Wonders, Apollo Bay
Every step at Wildlife Wonders feeds back into something bigger. Tucked just outside Apollo Bay, this not-for-profit sanctuary runs guided walks through protected native bushland, with the experience designed from the ground up to leave the lightest possible footprint.
The money you spend here goes straight to the Conservation Ecology Centre, funding research and conservation work to safeguard the Otways’ delicate ecosystems. It’s eco-certified and it’s an absolute must-do.
