Commonwealth Reserve Tours and Activities

The "Steve Irwin" of the Sea Shepherd fleet, docked in Williamstown, Melbourne, Australia. Williamstown is a short drive or train ride from central Melbourne. The town offers great restaurants and pubs, as well as a very nice view of Melbourne itself. The Sea Shepherd group docks ships here for repairs. Most days, you can actually get a tour of the vessels and meet with the teams that run them. Nearby, you'll also see work being done in actual Australian Navy ships, although access to those is restricted!

Great location, great rooms, great shower. Only detractor from 5 star review was odd room cleaning times meaning our room wasn’t serviced between 12-4pm for 2 out of 4 days. First world problem. Still remains my go to hotel in Melbourne and look forward to returning.
