WINCHELSEA MOTEL

In the Centre of Winchelsea

Winchelsea Motel is located on the main street of the Winchelsea town centre. Winchelsea is the first town off the M1 freeway from Melbourne and a perfect spot to kick off your Great Ocean Road Holiday, and a convenient mid-way stop from Melbourne to Warrnambool.

Winchelsea is a picturesque Historic Town established in the 1800’s, a vibrant community which has some fantastic historic landmarks within walking distance from our Motel, from the Globe Theatre located across the road to the Barwon River nature walk less than a 5-minute stroll and of course the Historic Barwon Mansion only a 5-minute drive. If you drive 20 min south, you will enter the amazing Otway’s State Forest and a further 20 min will bring you out at Lorne and the beautiful and breathtaking Great Ocean Road. Or head back to the world-famous Bells Beach in Torquay less than a 30-minute drive.

Take adventure drives or tours along some of the most scenic roads from Waterfalls to wineries, rainforest board walks or simply enjoy a swim on the most amazing beaches along the great ocean road.
