More than just accommodation in a great location - Our guests have exclusive access to our 280 acre farm. You might just like to relax and enjoy the comforts of your cottage - put another log on the fire and take in the beautiful views - or you might like to be a bit more active; meet and feed the friendly farm animals, collect eggs from the hen house, gather fresh herbs and seasonal produce from the guests share garden and orchard, or take a walk down to the river or through the fern gully. Given, we are located in a valley, mobile reception is sketchy. So, we've installed Satellite Internet - so guests can keep in touch (or put the devices away!). Contact us if you'd like to clarify any details. If you are holidaying with PETS - please let us know in advance. Conditions apply.
Your hosts, Julian and Helen, are happy to assist with recommendations on the best places to visit in the region and welcome the opportunity of showing you around the place!
Our farm & cottages are beautifully positioned – right in the middle of all the highlights of the Great Ocean Road & the Otway National Park. Sightseeing is relaxed as most of the main attractions are within a short, scenic drive. We provide our guests with a listing of “must see’s & do’s” to help you plan your trip & we keep a stock of regional maps & brochures on hand for guests information. If you are planning to do more than just relax and take it easy on the farm & enjoy the comforts of your cottage ~ you should consider: The Great Ocean Walk Visit Seaside & Hinterland towns Tour the 12 Apostles coastline Rainforest & waterfall walks Sunset at Johanna Beach Fishing - we are central to the best spots - river, rock, beach, jetty Glowworms Foodies Trail with locally made cheese, chocolates & wine and seasonal berries and fruits Helicopter ride The Otway Fly Treetop Walk Cape Otway Lightstation & koala spotting. Weekend markets, local galleries, museums, crafts
