Wye River

Situated between Lorne and Apollo Bay is a most spectacular stretch of the Great Ocean Road where cliffs rise above rocky shores and sandy beaches.

At the heart of this stretch is Kennett River and Wye River often preferred by holiday makers who like to avoid the hustle and bustle of busy Lorne and Apollo Bay.

If  beaches, surf, fishing, forests, rivers and abundant wildlife appeal then check out this section of the world famous Great Ocean Road. Wye River Surf Lifesaving Club patrol during summer on weekends and public holidays. Little Nipper program for children agaed 7 to 13.

Set on 25 acres this family park has a great range of cabin accommodation, river camp sites, playground, giant jumping pillow, camp kitchen, games room and abundant resident wildlife. It is in our opinion (coastalstays) one of the best parks anywhere along the Victorian coastline and we highly recommend you get in touch with proprietors Leanne and Matt to discuss your next your next holiday or weekend.

Brief History

The Gadubanud people lived in the Cape Otway region until the mid 19th century. Middens along the coast reveal the remains of shell fish collected by the women while the men fished.

The first European settlement in Wye River was made by Alexander and Donald McRae who established a fishing camp in the valley in 1882, while their cousin, Alex McLennan, made camp at Kennett River
