About this farm stay rental

Escape to one of our two pet-friendly cottages in the heart of the Otways. Surrounded by National Park, the Country Cottage offers a unique farm-stay experience with friendly animals to hand-feed, forest views and a cosy wood fire. Modern comforts include a barista-style coffee machine and fast Starlink internet. Explore nearby waterfalls, spot platypus at Lake Elizabeth, discover Forrest and its famous mountain bike trails or enjoy the beaches of Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road.

The Country Cottage is a cosy and comfortable cabin designed for families, couples and their four-legged companions. Nestled amongst native forest and tree ferns, surrounded by the beauty of the Great Otway National Park, the cottage offers a peaceful escape where birdsong, wildlife and fresh mountain air are abundant.

The cottage features a master bedroom and a second bedroom with a queen bed and single bunk, making it ideal for families or small groups. Sink into premium bedding after a day of exploring the Otways, with the master bedroom offering a king-size doona and electric blanket for extra comfort during the cooler months.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, including a gas oven, full-sized fridge and freezer, microwave and barista-style coffee machine. If you don’t wish to switch off from the world, The Cottage has Starlink internet allowing you to stay connected while enjoying the tranquillity of nature.

The open-plan living area includes a cosy wood fire, dining space, TV, Wii and a games library with board games, puzzles and books for all ages.

Step outside onto the covered balcony and enjoy a BBQ while taking in views across the farm and surrounding forest.

Pets are warmly welcomed both inside and outside the cottage. The cottage has its own private, fully fenced yard, providing a secure space for children and dogs to play and relax.

During your stay, you’re welcome to explore much of our 32-acre farm, including the walking trails that lead down to the creek in the valley below. You’re also welcome to meet and hand-feed our friendly farm animals, including sheep, goats and chickens.

The property is home to two separate guest accommodations, The Country Cottage and The Nature Lodge, which are located a comfortable distance apart to provide privacy for all guests. Each accommodation has its own dedicated outdoor areas and parking.

A communal guest laundry is available on request. Please contact us during your stay and we’ll happily show you where it is and how everything works.

As this is a working farm and our family home, some sheds, paddocks and operational areas are reserved for private use. We simply ask guests to respect any signed areas and enjoy the rest of the property responsibly.

We acknowledge the Gadubanud People as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we live and gather. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

This cottage was exactly what we needed for a weekend away with our dog. The checkin was super easy, communication between Katie and Max was speedy and clear, the kitchen and the house was very well equipped. All of these made the stay feel really cozy. This is definitely a space I’ll consider staying at again as the space was clean and the fireplace, split system and electric blanket was plenty to be sure we were warm! We only needed the fire the time we were there but good to know there are other options for extra cold nights/daysBeing in such a beautiful location like the Otways, our room had a window looking out to incredible views as well as able to see the sheep, goats and chicken. The verandah is so lovely to enjoy watching the fog roll through the valley. Check in was super easy, we were greeted by Max upon arrival and our cottage was warm from the fire. whilst the property has one or even 2 other dwellings, we did not hear or see anyone else during our stay. Location is great, easy drive to go on walks and head down to Apollo bay! Thanks again to Katie and Max for creating a welcoming space!

Max and Kate were amazing hosts, really kind and attentive! They left us lots of firewood and the farm itself is so peaceful.

We had the most amazing time at Top of the Otways Country Cottage. The attention to detail was excellent. We could not want for anything else. The best getaway for a girls weekend to refresh before the rundown to the end of the year. See you again soon.
