Cape Bridgewater is about 5 hours away from Melbourne, 2 hours away in the direction of Great Ocean Road and Port Fairy. Unlike its costal friends, Cape Bridewater boasts of a Petrified Forest (what the world is that?!!) and a fur seal colony. It is less touristy than the 12 Apostles, but if you ask me, its worth a drive!
We stayed in the Cape Bridgewater Luxury Studios, and I highly recommend that! The owners are friendly and the self-contained house has huge windows that lets you look out to the cape and its shinning sea! There is a cosy log fire, as well as DVDs and a nice BBQ set. We had equally unparalleled views of the rolling valleys from the back windows. Cool huh???
In a nutshell, just pack up and go! Especially if you still do not have an easter plan!
