Aireys Inlet is a small coastal inlet and town located on the Great Ocean Road, southwest of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Aireys Inlet is located between Anglesea and Lorne, and joined with Fairhaven, Moggs Creek, and Eastern View to the west.
Many surfers holiday in Aireys Inlet to take advantage of the popular Fairhaven beach. As the inclination of the beach can change dramatically between years, the surf is regarded as unpredictable. Swimmers should take note there is a strong rip current.
Painkalac Creek, which separates Aireys Inlet from Fairhaven, forms a salt lake or inlet behind the sand dunes before it cuts through to the ocean. Due to low water levels in the inlet it is not often that the inlet breaks through.
Aireys Inlet is also famous for Split Point Lighthouse which was featured in the popular children's TV show Round The Twist.
There is also a horseshoe-shaped reef at Step Beach which forms an excellent swimming hole at low tide. The towns main attraction, the Split Point Lighthouse overlooks the inlet. The lighthouse has made Aireys Inlet an icon along the Great Ocean Road.

Wonderful location, we stayed here in the off season in studio 9 and the room is amazing! Location is also great. Waking up to Cockatoos and Magpies wanting food is a big bonus! Definitely recommend this place.
Great spot for a weekend away. Something for all the family. Our unit had been recently refurbished which improved our stay even more. This is probably my 8th time staying. And more to come...
A wonderfull place at Aireys Inlet, with great amenities, easy access to cafes and the pub, along with hiking trails.
There was six of us ladies that thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous time. Nothing was too much trouble for Sue who I might add was outstanding. We were a group of tennis players and one lady left her runners behind, when Sue found out she had a pair that fitted perfectly. This resort is just beautiful, and we certainly made good use of the tennis court, bbq and swimming pool. Very close walking distance to restaurents and the Aireys Pub. We will definately be going back.

Lovely peaceful place to stay. Gorgeous apartment in great location, everything you need and walking distance to restaurants and sites.
We had a lovely time at Airey’s inlet getaway. This unit is part of a group of self contained units situated conveniently at the centre of Airey’s inlet. We were impressed with the room and amenities, especially the tennis court BBQ and spa facilities! Sue was very responsive, friendly and accommodating and we will definitely be back.
