Planning
Pretty much everything you'll need is available on the road in Victoria. Pharmacies may
close early, so pack basic medications.
When to Go
Victoria's beach towns are hot, packed and brimful of other families during the summer
school holidays. Provided you're OK with cooler and unpredictable weather, travelling in
low season (out of school-holiday periods) means life is calmer, accommodation providers
and restaurant staff are happy to see you, and prices are rock-bottom.
Accommodation
If you're travelling with infants, portacots are often available at an additional cost of $20 to
$30. Most hotels, however, only have a limited supply, so get in early to reserve one.
In summer, caravan parks are often filled with other families, which is great for kids to
socialise. Make sure, however, that you keep your kids under supervision, especially
whenever there is unfenced water around.
If you're on a tight budget, YHA hostels have family rooms that sleep three to four,
though motels with a double and single bed are usually cheaper. Whatever your budget,
'family room' usually means that you'll all be in the same room - if you'd prefer more
space (which may be a mutual feeling if your kids are older), you can often find well-
priced apartments with two bedrooms ( Click here ) .
