Grass Trees Cottage

Secluded, private and serene, the Grass Tree Cottage is an absolute retreat for those looking for a weekend getaway or a unique stop along the Great Ocean Road. The two-bedroom cabin is ideal accommodation for couples, small families or a duo of friends.

On 3 acres of lush Otway Forest, the cottage is nestled in the hillside, surrounded by twisty-bark eucalyptus and regional grass trees. For those in the right season, the flowering grass trees are an absolute eye-grab. On the property, you are likely see wallabies eating the morning sprouts, koalas barking in the treetops, and plentiful bird and flower varieties.

There are two bedrooms. The primary room has a king bed, and the second room has a queen/double bunk.

The cottage is completely private with a fully stocked kitchen, gas oven, bath, fireplace, plus some urban comforts – coffee pod machine, Wi-Fi, smart TV and air-conditioning. There is enough to accommodate a long weekend.

Positioned directly in the centre along the Great Ocean Road, this region is isolated and quiet, making for a great stop away from the bustling attractions and beach towns. The cottage is 5 minutes away from the Aire River Inlet & Beach, 15 minutes from the Cape Otway National Park and Light Station, and 30 minutes from Apollo Bay, Johanna Beach or Lavers Hill.

The cabin is comfortable enough to stay inside nestled by the fire, and is well positioned to be a base camp for the wandering adventurers.
Linens are provided. You will need to bring your own food, drinking water and firewood – and all rubbish needs to be taken out.

The closest shops are located about a 30-minute drive away. Come prepared with food and fresh drinking water.
