Known to whale watchers and marine biologists worldwide, the waters of Logan’s Beach in Warrnambool serve as a nursery for southern right whales. These gentle giants glide and give birth here from July to September annually.
Warrnambool is also famous for its pleasant climate and sheltered beaches, making this city a veritable haven for beach-goers, surfers, and fishermen. Known by the indigenous people as the “ample water”, Warrnambool is also home to many historical buildings. These include Christ Church, Warrnambool Presbyterian Church, and the famed Victorian villas dating back to the 19th century. Another place of interest is Cannon Hill Lookout with its World War 1-era weapons.
If you’re here on a long vacation to explore the city’s history or the whales, there are many ideal options that will cater to you on a budget. So check out this list of the best long-term rentals in Warrnambool VIC, Australia.
