Top Barwon Heads Hotel Reviews

Great Ocean Road Resort

Great Ocean Road Resort

4/10 Poor
"Hello, I recently stayed in Room 7 (river view) and unfortunately experienced several issues during my stay. I did report these concerns to reception at the time and was advised they would investigate. I also followed up via email but have not received a response. The main issue was a leak in the corner of the bedroom. Over my two-night stay, I noticed my clothes becoming damp, and by the time I checked out, the room had developed a strong mouldy smell. Some of my clothes were damaged as a result. Additionally, the heater in the lounge area was leaking water, which was running over the TV, creating further concern. Overall, this experience was quite stressful and disappointing. I was advised that someone would follow up with me, but I have yet to hear back. I would appreciate an update on this matter and how it will be addressed. Thank you."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Barwon Heads cost?
Budget hotel prices in Barwon Heads vary, but you can find a great deal from £63 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Barwon Heads?
The most affordable time to visit Barwon Heads is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), avoiding the peak summer months and school holidays. During these periods, you'll find more competitive pricing on accommodation and fewer crowds, making for a more relaxed and budget-friendly trip.

For solo travellers, visiting in autumn or spring means quieter walking trails along the bluff and more easily accessible spots for a peaceful moment by the Barwon River. Many local cafes and eateries offer specials outside of peak times, giving you a chance to enjoy the local flavour without the premium price tag.

Families might find late autumn or early spring particularly appealing. The weather is often still pleasant enough for outdoor activities like exploring the rock pools at low tide or enjoying the playgrounds, but accommodation prices for holiday rentals are lower than in summer.
Is Barwon Heads a budget-friendly destination?
While Barwon Heads is generally considered a more expensive coastal town, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

For accommodation, consider booking well in advance, especially outside of peak holiday periods, to find better deals on holiday rentals or caravan parks. Solo travellers might find more economical options in nearby Geelong, which is just a short drive away and well-connected by public transport.

Couples can save on activities by enjoying the natural beauty of the area, which is largely free. Stroll along the beautiful beaches, explore the rock pools at low tide, or take a walk along the bluff for stunning ocean views. The Barwon Heads Village Park offers lovely green spaces great for a picnic with provisions from a local supermarket.

Dining can be adjusted to fit a budget by focusing on self-catering where possible, perhaps utilising a barbecue at your accommodation. Many local cafes offer reasonably priced breakfast and lunch options, and grabbing fish and chips to enjoy by the water is a classic, affordable treat.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Barwon Heads with Expedia?

Typically, booking in advance will help you save on hotel bookings. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Barwon Heads?
Barwon Heads offers numerous free activities, particularly appealing for families looking to enjoy the natural beauty and coastal charm without spending a penny.

Families can spend countless hours at the Barwon Heads Bluff, exploring its rock pools at low tide, which teem with fascinating marine life, or simply enjoying a picnic with stunning views of the ocean. The main beach itself is superb for swimming, building sandcastles, and soaking up the sun. For those who enjoy a stroll, the Barwon Heads Coastal Walk offers picturesque views of the coastline, the Barwon River, and the iconic Barwon Heads Bridge, providing a refreshing outdoor experience for all ages.

Another fantastic free option is exploring the Barwon River estuary. Children will love watching the boats, spotting various bird species, and perhaps even trying their hand at some beachcombing along the riverbanks. There are also several well-maintained parks and playgrounds dotted around the town, ideal for younger family members to burn off some energy.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Barwon Heads as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Barwon Heads for you.
