"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.
