Torquay Hostels - Reviews and Rates

So after 8 hours on a bus, 22 hours on a plane, and an hour
and half drive we finally arrived at our first destination; the town of Torquay
at the beginning of the Great ocean road! Along the way we stopped at Geelong
for groceries, their team, the Geelong cats, are in the Aussie Football League
finals this weekend against a team fro...

The last walk of the tour was through Otway rainforest which has a system of walkways through the treetops so you can see all the birds. The walkways are pretty high up in the air so I opted for the route that stayed firmly on the ground, which turned out to be great as it gave me an hour on my own taking pictures in peace.

Wicked little town for chilling out for a few days and going to the beach. Torquay is the home of Australia surfing and home to Quicksilver, Rip Curl and otherr major surfing labels. Caravan park was really well located and clean but a little cramped, they really made the most fo the land and squeezed as many caravan and tent sites onto the lot....

The rest of the Great ocean road was as amazing as the first bit, if not better. although we were decently hung over from the nite before, the insanley windy road was enough to keep us awake. half way to torquay we had to hit the binders cause there was a koala casually crossing the road on a blind corner. we pulled over and checked him and his ...

. The next day we set off (reluctantly again), along the coast there is a road called the great ocean drive which has got some stunning scenery including the 12 apostles. The first half of this was completely amazing, and minus a few gusts of wind, was perfect, but as we drove on the clouds appeared and not long after driving past the 12 apostle...

Checked out of my hostel and went to meet nat in Geelong, then we took a bus to Torquay. We hadn't booked in advance or anything so when we arrived at the hostel there was nobody on reception but we didn't want to waste our day so we just left our bags and went to see what the town had to offer... pretty much nothing.... The beach was deserted t...

Hello everyone. I had a nice little respite this weekend. I figured that I will be quite busy with my studies from now on, so I decided to take a little surf trip to the coast! It was absolutely incredible. The surf wasn't huge, but it was a good four feet, which worked just fine for me. Ha! I decided I wanted to go late Friday night, after a li...

After not getting work(and walking out on 1job after an hour)Me,Si and Jens thought we'd end up having to go and do fruit picking with Daz,the Caseys and Chris and started getting prepared for the slog.Got tickets to see Kasabian at the Palace,St Kilda where me and Si went with 900 other people to this sweet gig in a paladium and got right down ...

Today I woke up and met Lisa the housing lady and 4 Norwegian girls who picked me up to go to Torquay. The girls seemed really fun and down to earth and they have a house in Torquay that Lisa was helping them move into. Lisa lives there as well. And there are 4 other Norwegian girls in another house, so I will have lots of people to meet up with...

Well this was fun! The most money I've spent on one block since I bought my ticket to come here but it wa well worth it. On our first day out (Jan.2), we drove through to Torquay but after about an hour of searching for a place to sleep and getting pulled over for not wearing our seatbelts (left of the hook, don't panic parents. We had just gott...
