About this property

Top of the Otways the Country Cottage

Located high in the mountains, on the Traditional lands of the Gadubanud People of the Eastern Maar Nation, in the middle of the Otway National Park - the hinterland of the Great Ocean Road - between the holiday towns of Forrest and Apollo Bay. "Top of the Otways" is a farm stay hosting 2 separate fully self-contained, family and pet friendly accommodations. The perfect place to relax and unwind or to base yourself while exploring the Otways and the Great Ocean Road.

The "Country Cottage" is a comfortable cabin for your family. There is a master bedroom and a kids bedroom with a queen/single bunk bed. The living area includes a dining area and living area with wood fire, TV and a Wii. The open kitchen is fully stocked with all the utensils you need to create meals during your stay. Full sized fridge and freezer, microwave and gas oven etc. There is also a covered balcony with BBQ facilities overlooking our farm and the Otway National Park. Of course, your four-legged family members are welcome as well. There is a fully fenced off and secure area for your pet adjacent to the cottage. Your furry family members are also welcome to stay with you inside.

Set on 32 acres we have sheep, seasonal lambs, goats, chickens as well as pets and plenty of wildlife particularly birds. There are also several nature trails down to our beautiful creek down in the valley.

We are also working on a function space for small gatherings, music and arts.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live. We pay our respect to Elders, past, present and emerging.

Home among the gumtrees
Hosts were amazing! The house was very comfy and had everything we could possibly need. The logfire was great on those cold nights and there was so much to see, we couldn't fit everything in. We had such a great stay and would recommend this place to everyone.

Comfortable and quiet
Perfect for a little getaway. Only 25 mins to Apollo Bay and 15 mins to Forrest. Cottage is wonderful. Comfortable and well equipped. Hosts were great and we loved the location overlooking the valley and being able to feed the goats.

Cosy,comfy cottage in a lovely setting. Gorgeous view of the rainforest with sounds to match, or, occasionally a heavenly morning and evening silence.

I used to be a backpacker travelling OZ and NZ. Since 2018 I have settled down here in the Otways working on my dream to set up a off the grid farm in the middle of the bush. I enjoy simple things in life, particularly music.
