Phillip Island Travel Forum

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what you thought of taking a Great Ocean Road tour? I cannot drive, so I figure this is the best way to do it.

Some tours combine this with Philip's Island:

...which I was planning on doing anyways. Would you recommend a Philip's Island Tour, or would you say that it's easy and maybe more fun to do it on your own? I'm not usually the tour-girl type, but it sounds like a decent way to see a lot of Philip's Island. The other option was to just do a tour of the Great Ocean Road and then do Philips on my own.

YTTours only had one review, so I feel hesitant - however they offer an overnight option which might be great

GoWest doesn't have an overnight option - but has the most trusted reviews

Lastly, there is Bunyip which also combines Wilsons Promontory

Any input would be appreciated!

My friend and I will be traveling to Phillip Island for three weeks during October for work experience. We need somewhere cheap but comfortable to stay during this time. We will have to study whilst we are there, so somewhere that has a table and chairs is necessary. We have looked on the internet but have only found places that are more than $100 per night. This is too much for our very limited budget. Can anybody give us any ideas about where to look for something cheaper.

Thanks for your help
Caroline
