Random stop along great ocean road. Great photo taking too
Beautiful location away from the crowds to view mother nature at work.
Easy to park, although the track in can be a bit narrow.
Track is dirt, but very smooth currently.
Supervision of young ones required as there are no barriers.
Nice stop to visit with an open ocean view . Very quiet and nobody there when I visited on Thursday afternoon (in October)
Only cars are allowed to enter a small path leading to the cliff. Campervan and busses not allowed. Small parking area available. The view is beautiful.

Reviews
The Bakers Oven is a hidden gem along the Great Ocean Road, offering stunning views of rock formations and the coastline. Visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere away from crowds, easy parking with a narrow dirt track, and the need for supervision due to lack of barriers. The location provides an open ocean view perfect for sunset photography and wildlife sightings. While some find it challenging to locate the entrance on a single-track road, others enjoy the serene experience of being alone at this less touristy spot.Review score

A little dirt road off the Great Ocean Road and with stunning views. If you want to see some of the amazing coastline in this area but don't want to wade through the crowds at Loch Ard or the Twelve Apostles, this is the stop for you.
Been here 4 times and every time I'm the only one there.
One of the less touristy attraction. The view during sunset is of magnificent.
However, need to be mindful when you drove in the dirt path as it only have one vehicle width allowance but it brought you to the coast area.
Enjoy the scenery!
