A large coastal village located just a few minutes drive from Loch Ard Gorge and the 12 Apostles. It is host to some fantastic dining experiences, shops and a beautiful protected beach and bay. Stay and see the sunset from the Jetty (there are so many sunset experiences in the area you’ll have to stay a few nights!)
The impressive Port Campbell suspension bridge is in fact the third suspension bridge constructed to provide community and visitor access across the Campbell’s creek estuary.
Port Campbell is home to a small fishing fleet that can supply fresh to restaurants and the local pub. Why not treat yourself to a real taste of the region treat and choose Southern Rock Lobster (crayfish) or Abalone on the menu when you’re next in town?
And to stay with the theme of local provenance we suggest you accompany your meal with a wine from Keayang Maar Vineyard or a craft beer from Sow and Piglets Brewery.
Pure, simple, fresh and tasty!
