Excellent pet-friendly property in a very scenic location. We stayed in the Nature Lodge which had everything we needed. It was nice not being “right in town” but with Apollo Bay not too far away if we did need something. Katie & Max are amazing hosts, the communication throughout was top notch and the property was presented beautifully.

A beautiful little cabin at the top of the Otways. We stayed in the Nature Lodge and loved our 2 nights there. The freshly laid eggs left for us were delicious and the hosts made sure we were warm and cosy.

Otway trip

Property was a base for a two day trip to explore Otway's, Apollo Bay and Lorne. Apart from being a 25 minute from Apollo Bay, the property met all our needs, along with a beautiful location and great views across a wooded valley.

Magical Forrest, Farm & Beach stay

An overwhelmingly beautiful, comfortable place to call home for a week. Clean, with blissful surroundings and so many options for activities for both cooler and warmer weather activities. Beautiful people, Max, Katie, friends and pets made it all the more worthwhile.

My son and I had an excellent week at Toto with our two not-very-friendly Aussie Shepherds. The house, location, views - amazing. Katie and Max are excellent hosts. We also loved the goats! Too sweet. We hope to return! Thanks, Katie and Max.

Beautiful spot in the otways

The place was a good size, very comfortable and clean. The host was friendly and accommodating. Despite being a few accommodations on the block it felt very private. Our dog absolutely loved it. Would be perfect for young families, or couples or a couple of friends. We would recommend and will hopefully go back!

Fabulous place to stay

Max, Katie & Otto are great hosts and the cottage is just the most perfect place to stay when you are exploring the Otway area and Great Ocean Road. It was wonderful to be able to leave the craziness of the public holiday visitors in the area and relax in the calm surroundings of the cottage, feeding the goats, watching the birdlife over the forest and sitting by the fire / firepit after a busy day exploring, depending on the weather.Facilities inside & out were spot on. We stayed a week with friends and loved it to bits.A definite must stay location when heading to the Otways.
