It’s worth setting the alarm early if you stay at this property on the Great Ocean Road. Stroll across the road to see the sun emerge over the waves in the bay before taking a quick dip before breakfast. Standard rooms are available but the inn also offers self-contained apartments with their own kitchenettes and patios – and even a villa that sleeps six. Grab a first-floor room at the front of the property if you want to enjoy sea views from your own private balcony.

You won’t want to go anywhere when you check into this Great Ocean Road property, although it’s just 4km (2.5mi) from Apollo Bay Town. Every single room has a spectacular sea view, while the beach is just 20m (66ft) away so you can roll straight out of bed and onto the sand. You might see more than just waves, too. Some rooms come with their own telescopes for star-spotting or you could use them to spy whales gliding through the water.
