There are a wide range of accommodation options dotted along the Surf Coast for runners, friends and family to stay.

We recommend that runners stay in FAIRHAVEN or AIREYS INLET, near to where the finish is at the Fairhaven Surf Lifesaving Club, and just as importantly, walking distance from the Aireys Pub and Rogue Wave Brewing Co., where the event afterparty will be held, inclusive of special meal and beer deals for runners and of course, a big three sets of live music.

NOTE: for those staying at Fairhaven/Aireys end, there are buses to both the start of the full marathon (Torquay) and the half marathon (Point Addis), so you can arrive at your accommodation, and leave your car there! YOU NEED TO PRE-BOOK / PAY FOR THE BUSES!

Alternatively, stay in TORQUAY for easy access to the start, and then enjoy the Fairhaven hospitality at the finish before taking a bus back to Torquay (be sure to book - limited places).

There is also plenty of options ANGLESEA, noting you require own transport (event buses do not stop en route between towns).

Finally there is also nearby BREAMLEA or further afield (but not by much) BARWON HEADS and OCEAN GROVE. The Breamlea Caravan Park, is only an 11 minute drive from Fishermans Beach in Torquay. There are two more holiday parks nearby: Barwon Heads Caravan Park and Riverview Family Caravan Park.
