Codrington Settlement is located on the South West coast of Victoria Australia between Portland and Port Fairy.

Portland is recognised as the birth place of Victoria, being the first area settled.  Visitors to the fishing village of Port Fairy are surprised to learn that, at one time, the town was the second largest port in Victoria.  Until, of course, they start strolling through the streets and see for the themselves the wealth of history in the buildings and other man made structures. 

See the 'to do' pages for more information about the surrounding area. 

Codrington Settlement is located 320 kms from Melbourne.  The shorter route is taking the Princes Hwy through the Volcanic Hinterland.  Another scenic route is along the Great Ocean Road; a longer trip taking around 7 hours from Melbourne (with stops) but some people believe it is worth the extra time for the scenery.
