Port Campbell Guesthouse Flashpackers

Great Ocean Road


A place for independent-minded budget travellers who aren't into the hostel scene, this guesthouse feels more like going around to a mate's place. Set up within a historic cottage are four cosy rooms, a comfy lounge and a country kitchen with filter coffee. Its ultrarelaxed owner, Mark, is knowledgeable about the area.

If you're after added privacy there's a separate motel-style section up the front with en-suite rooms.
