Ever wanted to explore the glorious wonders of the Great Ocean Road but just weren't keen on leaving the comforts of home behind? Problem solved. Warrnambool Beach Backpackers is the home away from home you've always wanted. Family owned and operated by David and Gill Lane with daughters Teagan and Steffi and full time staff member, Pru, the Warrnambool Beach Backpackers is a step away from your more conventional backpacker establishment. It's the little things that make the big difference, from the heated rooms and free pick-up from the train and bus station to the licensed bar, pool table and welcoming atmosphere. You may never want to leave! Only 300 metres to the beach, the hostel is perfectly situated for the adventurous keen to dabble in some horse riding and water sports, or for the more sedate looking to just soak up the beautiful location. In the summer months you can wait until low tide and wade across to Middle Island to see first hand a small Fairy Penguin colony. In the winter months you can also enjoy whale watching. Just a short drive from the hostel is the Tower Hill Reserve, a retreat for an abundance of wildlife including koalas and emus - the perfect guests to share a picnic. Warrnambool Beach Backpackers is the perfect base to explore all the tourist attractions the Shipwreck Coast has to offer.
