Pet-friendly
The Cape Otway Homestead is perched among the treetops of the Otway National Park, offering breathtaking 180-degree views across the Otways and the Aire River valley. Watch wedge-tailed eagles glide past the expansive picture windows, or unwind on the deck as the sun sets over the Aire River dunes.
Nature surrounds you here. Spot koalas, wallabies, and abundant birdlife right outside your door, or wander through the homestead grounds to discover native bushland, the veggie garden, and seasonal mushroom foraging spots.
Just a two-minute drive away, the stunning Aire River inlet awaits. For a truly magical experience, take the Great Ocean Walk trail down to the beach and river mouth. Spend your days kayaking through the inlet, sandboarding on the dunes, beachcombing along the wild coastline, or simply soaking in the peaceful beauty of this secluded corner of the Great Ocean Road — a hidden gem that feels worlds away from everyday life.

Hi. My name is Jacqueline, the host The Cape Otway Homestead, The Guesthouse at COH, Koala Cottage, Stone Cottage and Camp CO. My husband and I stumbled across the homestead at the beginning of 2020 and decided to purchase it to bring it back to its former glory. We fell in love with the golden hour views, the way the Grampian stonework shines around the entire homestead and how magnificent the wildlife is on the 60 acres of national forest around the cabins. We think it’s a pretty magical spot.
We hope you enjoy it too.
