A small, seaside town in Victoria, Wye River is set along the scenic, scrolling and world famous Great Ocean Road. With pristine beaches literally a step away and some of Australia's most beautiful natural forests at your back door, Wye River is a fantastic holiday option for families and couples alike.
Why Wye?
A part of Victoria's treasured Otway Coast, Wye River is just 160 km west of Melbourne, yet tourists will feel a million miles away. This tranquil part of the world is the perfect place to relax and enjoy sunny Summer days on the beach, or snuggle up with open wood fires in Winter. Wye River is Victoria's own Sunshine Coast. With a permanent population of only 200, Wye River is a township set up for tourists.
