    We went just past Colac a few months ago and stayed in Barongarook at Otway Estate Winery.
    It was just gorgeous, it's about 10 mins out of Colac with gorgeous treed surroundings. You can have lunch/dinner there and they can also organise for food, wine and beer to be brought to your room for dinner (you just have to heat it up). They have a gorgeous spa in the floor and it's a real escape. They have a page on FB if you want to check it out.

    A great thing to buy though is something called a SmartBox. We got one for Xmas last year and it was fantastic. You can get them online or at Target and they include a whole book of winery packages ie. we had 1 nights accommodation with a full beautiful breakfast in the morning, a bottle of wine and a winery tour. I think the Winery boxes are $250 but you can get all sorts ie. pampering, dinner for 2, sports and action They give you a broader idea of where you can go etc.

    Man this post has taken me forever with the kids talking to me. I hope it makes sense

    Ps. Wasn't trying to completely deviate from your plan but Colac you just turn right now instead of continuing on to the Great Ocean Road
