About this property

Cape Otway Homestead

The Cape Otway Homestead is home among the Otway National Park treetops with unparalleled 180-degree views of the Otways and the Aire River valley. See wedge-tailed eagles hover outside the huge picturesque windows or relax on the deck and admire the sunset over the Aire River sand dunes. Discover wallabies, koalas and birdlife right outside the door or journey through the homestead grounds to explore gorgeous native vegetation, veggie patch, or mushroom forage. Take a journey to the inlet, a 2-minute drive down to the Aire River Campsite, especially magically if you take the Great Ocean Walk path down the main beach. Once there enjoy a swim, kayak, sandboarding, or relax on your own private beach. You'll be amazed how picturesque and secluded it is - a perfectly kept secret.

This luxury hilltop four-bedroom plus garden room home will sleep up to 12 people. All of the bedrooms have amazing views and King sized beds, with the exception of the garden room. The master bedroom features a large corner bath and a double-sided wood fireplace. The private studio also offers a King-sized bed, Wood Fire, bath and a small but fully equipped kitchen.

The high vaulted ceilings of the spacious living area are complemented by panoramic views and natural light through huge picture windows. The beautifully coloured Grampians sandstone walls, a testament to the ancient craft of stonemasonry, complement a double-sided Wood Fire and Karri floors throughout the house.

A secluded and sheltered courtyard features beautiful sandstone walls and a lovely cottage garden, whilst spacious decking spans the entire front of the house, with outdoor furniture to relax and admire the view.

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline Megowan

Host profile image

Hi. My name is Jacqueline, the host of the Guest House at The Dunes Homestead. My husband and I stumbled across the homestead at the beginning of the year and decided to purchase it to bring it back to its former glory. We fell in love with the golden hour views and the way the Grampian stonework shines around the entire homestead. We think its a pretty magical spot.

We hope you enjoy it too.
