Tucked away deep in the Great Otway National Park, Kokoro offers the ultimate relaxation experience. Surrounded by giant gumtrees, lush ferns and the sound of singing birds, it's easy to unplug from life's regular grind.
In the morning, we enjoyed a 20-minute drive into Lorne for a delicious breakfast at Riverbank Cafe. Later on, we meandered through the winding roads back to Kokoro, filled up the outdoor bath and connected with nature amongst the misty forest. After a slow and restful night, we ventured towards Forrest General Store for breakfast before finishing off our trip exploring a few of the Otway's finest waterfalls.
Erskine Falls is only a short 15-minute drive from Lorne and buried deep in the lush Otway's forest. Surrounded by ferns and singing birds, it's the perfect daytime adventure.
Hopetoun Falls is located just outside Beech Forest, in the beautiful Great Otway National Park. A short, 10-minute walk down a set of stairs will lead you right to the base of the falls.
The FGS sources the best local produce, including tasty meats, cheeses, olives, shiitake mushrooms, chutneys and jams, ice-cream, chocolate and coffee from the Otway Ranges and surrounding areas.
