Wye River Accommodation

Wye River is a small, seaside village in Victoria. It is also the name given to the waterway which flows through the town and into the sea at this point. Situated some 155 km west of Melbourne, on the Otway Coast part of the scenic Great Ocean Road, the Wye River township is a popular tourist destination about 15 km west of the resort town of Lorne, Victoria. It became a popular place for Melbournians to holiday after the Great Ocean Road was officially opened in 1932. Wye River, situated between Lorne and Apollo Bay, is one of those magical little hamlets that demand attention. Why stay anywhere else but Wye River Accommodation.
