Walk celebrates 10th birthday in 2015
The Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is celebrating ten very successful years in operation this year.
The tenth birthday is officially recognised as 20 April but the entire year and walk season promise to be full of fantastic celebrations.
“Over our ten years, we’ve noticed some trends. More and more, Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is something people like to do to celebrate a major life milestone or birthday, and we’d really love to share this experience with walkers during our tenth year in operation in 2015,” said Dana Ronan, director of the walk.
“It’s because of the support we get from our keen walkers each year, that we can continue to operate our iconic tourism experience as part of the Great Ocean Walk. To celebrate our birthday we’ve come up with some great ways to make 2015 a memorable year for our team and all of our walkers…2015 promises to be packed with some exciting promotions, competitions, offers, and even some special guest walkers,” Dana continued.
Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk, formerly known as The Twelve Apostles Walk by Bothfeet, is located at Johanna, 250km south west of Melbourne on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. The walk covers the last 52km section at the west end of the trail known as The Great Ocean Walk.
The 2015/16 Twelve Apostles Lodge Walks are all 4 days/3 nights and include accommodation in eco-luxe en suite villas in a natural rainforest amphitheatre. The lodge is sustainably designed and built, and is Advanced Eco-certified with Ecotourism Australia. Walks are priced from $1995 per person, and include accommodation, all gourmet meals (including morning and afternoon teas), return Melbourne transfers to the lodge, walking gear and a scenic helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles.
This experience brings together only ten people at a time, fills them with clean, lovely air and amazing scenery, nourishes walkers daily with choice morsels prepared by a chef (no packed sandwiches in sight!), then a stay in stunning eco-luxe ensuite villas – it’s the ultimate de-stresser from everyday life!
Since starting up in 2005, Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk has had nearly 5000 walkers join them. The youngest walker was six years old, and the oldest 85. Dana says she and partner Gavin look forward to this year being a great year for the iconic tourist attraction and they invite people of all ages and fitness levels to join a walk.
