Wind your way along the coast of Victoria to this coastal haven, elegantly perched on the northern headland of Torquay – the official starting point of the Great Ocean Road. Spend your days exploring one of Australia's most famed stretches of coastline – loved for its family appeal, home to the internationally renowned Bells Beach and the Australian National Surfing Museum.
After busy days, plunge into the expansive 25-metre heated indoor pool or work out in the state-of-the-art fitness zone. Stretch out with a yoga class, try your hand at a round of tennis or pull up a pew at the 20-metre-long Shirley's bar and savour your favourite drink.
The Sands Torquay is perched on an 18-hole championship golf course designed by former Australian professional golfer Stuart Appleby. Golfers will be instantly impressed by the immaculately groomed fairway set against a striking coastal backdrop.
There's also plenty to keep their travelling companions and little ones busy. Walk along the adjacent Whites Beach, take the short drive into Torquay township where you'll find boutiques and gourmet bites or travel a little further afield to the wonders of the Great Ocean Road, including the iconic surfing haven of Bells Beach and the spectacular Twelve Apostles.
