    Frequently Asked Questions

    When is the best time to go to Cape Otway?

    While Cape Otway is beautiful year-round, the best time to visit for pleasant weather and outdoor activities is during the Australian summer and autumn, from December to May.

    During these months, you'll experience warmer temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the Cape Otway Lightstation, hiking through the Great Otway National Park, and enjoying the beaches. The ocean temperatures are also more inviting for swimming and water sports. This period is particularly good for families looking to spend time outdoors without the chill of winter.

    For those interested in wildlife spotting, particularly koalas, the warmer months offer more opportunities as the animals are often more active and visible in the eucalyptus trees.
