Yes! The Great Ocean Road app is completely free to download and use. You get full access to maps, itineraries, event listings, business directories, reviews, and offline mode at no cost. Our mission is to help you have the best possible experience exploring the region.

It's simple! Contact us via email or phone, and we'll guide you through the onboarding process. You'll create a profile with photos, descriptions, contact details, and special offers. Basic listings are commission-free, and we offer premium membership tiers with enhanced features like priority placement, analytics, and dedicated support.

Every business gets a profile with your name, location, contact details, opening hours, description, photo gallery, and customer reviews. Premium members receive featured placement, video content, booking integration, analytics dashboard, social media tools, and priority customer support.

No! Unlike major booking platforms that charge 10-20% commission, our core model is commission-free. Businesses can opt into booking features, but we never take a percentage of your revenue. You keep 100% of what you earn.

We're 100% Australian-owned, regionally focused, and built specifically for the Great Ocean Road. We're not a generic global platform—we know the area, we work directly with local businesses, and we're committed to sustainable regional tourism. Plus, our commission-free model means we support businesses instead of extracting value from them.

Yes! The app includes offline mode so you can download maps, attraction details, and itineraries before you travel. This is especially helpful in areas with limited mobile coverage along the coast.

Travelers discover businesses through interactive maps, category searches (accommodation, dining, attractions), curated itineraries, event listings, and user reviews. Premium members receive priority placement in search results and featured spots on the homepage.

We welcome all tourism-related businesses: accommodations (hotels, motels, B&Bs, vacation rentals), restaurants and cafes, tours and activities, attractions and experiences, event organizers, retail shops, and essential services. If you serve travelers along the Great Ocean Road, we want you on board.

We launched our first regional app in August 2016 in Robe, South Australia. Since then, we've expanded to multiple regions including the Great Ocean Road, Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island, and Limestone Coast. We've maintained stable, glitch-free operation for over 8 years and have been recognized as finalists for the Australian Small Business Champion Awards three times.

We offer three tiers: Basic (Free)—profile, contact info, gallery, reviews, and map listing. Premium ($79/month)—everything in Basic plus featured placement, video content, analytics, social tools, and email notifications. Elite ($149/month)—everything in Premium plus homepage featuring, sponsored content, account manager, advanced booking tools, and quarterly performance reviews. Founding partners receive 50% off Premium and Elite for the first 6 months.
