Discover the Great Ocean Road and Victoria’s great southern region beyond the usual tourist trail.

Great Southern Luxe Explorer creates private and personalised journeys for guests seeking a deeper connection with the landscapes, wildlife, culture and people of the Great Southern region.

From the dramatic coastline of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles, to the ancient forests of the Otways, the living cultural landscape of Budj Bim and the rugged grandeur of the Grampians, this is a region of extraordinary diversity.

Our journeys can be tailored entirely to your interests. Wildlife and natural landscapes, gourmet food and wine, Aboriginal culture, bushwalking and hiking, spa and wellness, forest bathing or simply discovering beautiful places at an unhurried pace — your day is designed around you. Our expertise will help you make this a journey to remember.

We offer half-day, full-day and multi-day private journeys, combining the region’s essential highlights with quieter roads, lesser-known places and opportunities to step away from the crowds. We also seek quieter, intimate accommodation services compared to large and impersonal hotels.  

Upon request we can also journey beyond to sites of interest – the penguin parade at Phillip Island, the Bellarine’s food and wine scene, spa and wellness at Daylesford and the magnificent Wilsons Promontory National Park are but some examples
