Discover the quiet, authentic heart of the Otway hinterland in Birregurra, a charming historic town on the edge of the Great Ocean Road where the Barwon River flows past heritage bluestone buildings, the elegant Birregurra Hotel (est. 1864) serves hearty pub meals and local craft beers, and the surrounding rolling green hills, dairy farms, and eucalyptus forests create a perfect snapshot of classic rural Victoria. Use Birregurra as the ideal low-key base for exploring the nearby Great Otway National Park with its lush rainforests, waterfalls (Triplet Falls, Hopetoun Falls), and the famous Maits Rest boardwalk through ancient myrtle beech, or drive the scenic route to the iconic Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge just 45–60 minutes away—all in a welcoming town that perfectly balances genuine small-town hospitality, fresh local produce (think cheeses, berries, and lamb), and easy access to Victoria’s most spectacular coastline without the crowds of Apollo Bay or Lorne.
Savor creamy local cheddar from nearby dairies, juicy grilled lamb chops with rosemary, fresh berry scones with jam and cream, and smooth Otway Estate Pinot Noir amid gentle river breezes, historic verandahs, and the unmistakable sense of a place where country Victoria still feels alive and unspoiled.
Birregurra isn’t just a stopover—it’s the peaceful, authentic gateway to the Great Ocean Road’s wild beauty and rural Victorian soul—plan your Birregurra adventure today!
