Countrywide Cottages offers 4 star, pet friendly, self contained cottages. Choose from our 4 secluded cottages spread over 26 acres of farm and pristine bushland. Ideally located in country Victoria only 25 minutes north of Lorne and 1.5 – 2 hrs from Melbourne, this is the perfect retreat for your next holiday.
Each of our spacious cottages has 2 or 3 bedrooms to sleep up to 8 people and is set among the gum trees for a truly relaxing country experience. Fully equipped with modern facilities including entertainment and a well equipped kitchen, the cottages are individually themed and 100% pet friendly.
Our large property is ideal for long bush walks, bordering the Otway Forest Park. We also have enough room for a campfire outside your cottage on those starry nights, (seasonal fire restrictions apply), and many of our guests have enjoyed toasting marshmallows by the cosy fire.
Kids love our animals. They are welcome to help us feed our array of critters - the bunnies, chickens, sheep and alpacas. Eggs are finders’ keepers!
One of our hidden treasures is our recreation area with its pioneer buildings. Built in a rustic style, it offers a pool table and dart board, and ample space for a kick of the footy. It’s also a great place for groups staying in the cottages to come together and have a barbeque, with a gas BBQ and undercover and outdoor seating.
We are ideally located for taking a trip along the Great Ocean Road. The inland route takes you to the Otway Fly, Lake Elizabeth or the 12 Apostles, and Lorne is just 25 minutes drive through the beautiful Otways away.
