Anglesea Caravan Park cabins and cottages

Of course, not everyone wants to bring their own tent or caravan with them on a trip down the Great Ocean Road. That’s where the Anglesea Caravan Park’s cabins and cottages come in. The entry level park cabins cost from $149, and come with TV and kitchenette. These cabins sleep up to five people if you can persuade the kids to take bunk beds.

The cottages, costing from $170, are arguably better value. Towels and linen are supplied, there’s more space, and there’s a gas log fire to keep you warm in winter.
