Beach Hotels & Resorts in Fairhaven from AU$120

For direct beach access and uninterrupted ocean views, the best area to stay in Fairhaven is along the Great Ocean Road itself, particularly the stretch between Split Point Lighthouse and the Fairhaven Surf Life Saving Club.


This area is characterised by properties perched directly above the beach, often with stairs or tracks leading straight down to the sand. The Great Ocean Road here is scenic, winding along the coastline, with many homes offering balconies that overlook the Bass Strait. It's a relatively quiet residential area, superb for those seeking a tranquil coastal escape.


Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find this area particularly appealing. The privacy of beachfront accommodation, combined with the sound of the waves and stunning sunsets, creates a memorable experience. You'll be able to enjoy long walks along Fairhaven Beach or spend peaceful afternoons watching the surfers.


Families with older children who love beach activities will also appreciate the convenience. Direct beach access means less hassle with packing and unpacking for a day by the sea, and the wide expanse of Fairhaven Beach offers plenty of space for swimming, surfing, and building sandcastles.

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Fairhaven is during the summer months, particularly January. The weather is gloriously warm, with average temperatures hovering around 25°C, creating superb conditions for swimming, surfing, and soaking up the sun on the beach.


During this peak time, the Fairhaven coastline truly comes alive with activity. Families especially will find it an ideal period, as the beaches are supervised, and there are often various community events suiting all ages. It's a fantastic time for outdoor dining with ocean views and enjoying extended daylight hours for beach strolls and water sports.


For a slightly different, yet equally appealing, experience, consider visiting in March. While still wonderfully warm, with temperatures generally in the low 20s, it offers a more relaxed pace. You may find better value for those highly sought-after beachfront rooms, and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants.

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Fairhaven for you.
