Chris's passion for the food of Southern Europe combined with the freshest and purest produce has made his cuisine world famous.

"Chris Talihmanidis has been a culinary legend in this area for more than two decades" [circa 1979]. His crowning glory is Chris's at Beacon Point, perched high on a bushland hillside with a wonderful view of the coast. Fresh seafood (check the blackboard specials) and Greek-influenced dishes are his forte. He has the pick of local lobster in season and prefers to serve it simply. You won't find better. The menu also offers aged beef, roast duck, lamb and pork with imaginative garnishes, and perhaps Otway berries to follow. Overnight in one of the on-site villas if you can."

The new Chris's Restaurant is operating seven days a week for Lunch and Dinner.

The exciting new Chris's Restaurant is the perfect venue for conferences, receptions and functions. We approach our functions with the same care and attention to detail as we do our a la carte dining, as opposed to the mass catering of a convention centres. For a banquet of exceptional quality in one of the worlds most spectacular venues please call us on the above number.

This part of the world is regarded by many as ‘Paradise by the Sea‘. Discover the town’s wide, crescent-shaped sandy swimming beach, backdrop of rolling green Otway hills, relaxed lifestyle, waterfalls, national and state parks and abundant wildlife in the nearby ranges.

Like many places along the Great Ocean Road, the beach is a focus for activity all year round. Swim in the clear water, sea kayak with local seals, indulge in some deep-sea fishing, learn to surf, or horse ride along the beach at sunset.

Head to Marriners Lookout Road for panoramic views over the town and coast. Another favourite lookout is Cape Patton, east of Apollo Bay near Wye River. Or take to the air for spectacular views of the nearby Twelve Apostles on one of many charter flight available from the local airport.

Fishing is an important local industry. The local fishing fleet moors behind a huge breakwater and makes its daily catch available from the brightly coloured fishermen’s co-operative at the pier entrance. Wander along the pier past stacks of craypots, and see the fishermen making ready for another trip out to sea.

Seafood is always on the menu at the local cafés and restaurants. For great views try Chris’s at Beacon Point high in the hills overlooking the sea. Shop for art and curios in the many gift shops, galleries and tea houses and peruse the regular Saturday foreshore market for local crafts and produce.

Head into the Otways to find mainland Australia’s oldest lighthouse. Explore nearby forest and waterfall walks or enjoy an exhilarating ride through the ranges on a mountain bike. Take a treetop walk along the Otway Fly and enjoy a bird’s eye view of the spectacular Otways rainforest.

Adjacent to the Villas is Chris's Restaurant, an icon of the Great Ocean Road. Opne seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Please note that all tarrifs include a continental a la carte breakfast served in the restaurant.
