Offering 180 degree views of the ocean from its verandah, dog friendly The Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel lives up to its name. Known as ‘The Killy’ to locals, the hotel is famous for its ocean views, incredible sun-sets and great pub meals. Kilcunda is also the trail head for two famous walks – the George Bass Coastal Walk to San Remo and the Bass Coast Rail Trail to Wonthaggi and Phillip Island. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas with shelter on the front deck overlooking Bass Strait and a beer garden with a large marquee at the back.
