Food tips and first-hand experience from the people who know.
If scenery is the only reason to drive and time is tight, compare a shorter regional loop plus a flight.
Check the exact ticket's entry gate and any event-specific restrictions before arrival.
Compare the exact room configuration and nearest accessible tram or train stop, not only hotel ratings.
Check the walk from the final tram stop to the outlet centre, including lift access if carrying purchases.
Check the airport's current luggage-storage service, size limits and opening hours before reserving the smaller car.
Plan one neighbourhood day and one flexible city day so the short stay does not become a series of transfers.
Compare ferry or flight arrangements, time actually on the island and the walks included.
Choose whether the Great Ocean Road or an inland wine route is the main focus, then map overnight bases accordingly.
A base with easy city transport and secure parking may reduce CBD driving while preserving central sightseeing.
Confirm that the chosen car can hold four passengers and all cases before booking.
Check destination food-import rules and luggage weight for sweets or coffee you plan to take home.
Look at transport timetables and any holiday surcharge before deciding how far to travel.
