ABOUT THE OTWAYS
RAINFOREST RETREAT

Welcome to The Otways Rainforest Retreat – Your Luxurious Escape in Nature’s Heart

Nestled beside the whispering rainforest and the majestic Great Otway National Park, The Otways Rainforest Retreat is a sprawling, elegant country haven designed for unforgettable getaways. Just 15 minutes from the iconic Great Ocean Road and 20 minutes from Apollo Bay’s delightful dining, shops, and essentials, this is where luxury meets the wild—a perfect base for exploring or simply soaking in the serenity. Set in gorgeous gardens, surrounded by ancient rainforest trees and rolling farm paddocks, it’s a retreat that promises both togetherness and tranquil solitude.

The Space – Grandeur Meets Comfort

Step into a world of refined beauty at The Otways Rainforest Retreat, where peaceful, quiet, and private luxury unfolds across three spacious bedrooms, two inviting living areas, two pristine bathrooms, a generous dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen. With room for six in supreme comfort—and the option for a seventh via a camp bed, plus a baby portacot for little ones—this is a sanctuary crafted for larger families or groups of friends craving a slice of countryside bliss.

Spanning two acres of stunning gardens, the retreat beckons you outdoors to expansive decks, a sizzling BBQ area, and a crackling firepit—perfect for marshmallow-roasting nights or starry-eyed gatherings. Whether you’re sharing laughs with loved ones or stealing a quiet moment in your own cozy nook, there’s space for every mood. Inside, two roaring log fires (with unlimited firewood) and powerful central heating wrap you in warmth when the Otway's chill sets in, making it a year-round delight.

EXPLORE OUR ACCOMMODATION

Every detail whispers sophistication: exquisite furniture, plush rugs, timeless antiques, and the finest bed linens cradle you in comfort. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, stocked with everything you need to whip up feasts, while the bathrooms pamper with top-notch touches. Unwind with a novel from the library, challenge your crew to board games, or kick back with two TVs and a hi-fi system streaming Tidal’s best tunes—all powered by lightning-fast Starlink Internet.


Guests can’t stop raving about the serenity, the fresh air, and the symphony of birdlife and wildlife just beyond the windows—highlights that make this retreat truly special.
