Description

We offer a new alternative in Otways Accommodation.

Perfect for couples, families, large groups or special occasions.

Resplendent against the valley hillside, our 3 family friendly cottages enjoy sweeping views of the spectacular & tranquil Pennyroyal Valley, offering a corridor into The Otway Ranges.

This country property is an ideal place to relax and unwind with no traffic and plenty of space to breathe. The long verandas are perfect for summer siestas, whilst the wood burning fires make winter escapes a cosy delight. Our 60 acres embraces both native forest and rolling farm land with Alpacas, Sheep, Goats, Kangaroos and many native birds & animals calling us home.

We encourage you to picnic by the lake and wander the grounds. The lush expanse of flat grassy land around the lake provides the perfect place for a game of cricket , a lazy afternoon lunch, yabby fishing or simply dozing in an outdoor chair under a shady willow tree.

This peaceful country setting will renew and inspire you. We encourage our guests to experience a slower, quieter, more connected time with nature, away from the hectic pace of the everyday world. Come & explore…

  • "It was so nice for the IPODs and Nintendos to be replaced by wood chopping and fishing. The kids had a great time using the facilities in the barn and our roaring log fire and lovely views from our forest cottage made the drive back to suburbia depressing. Sara and Jason were fantastic they made sure we were settled and nothing was too much trouble even extra gun boots. We will be back.Have told so many people."

  • "Incredibly beautiful property. Woke up to a lovely view of the valley & mountains. Warm, helpful & Extremely friendly hosts... Sara, thanks a ton for the cozy fireplace & the great set up of the cottage. We really had a fab time there and look forward to visiting again !! Highly recommend this property."

  • "We had a work conference with 12 people and everyone loved the intimate atmosphere of Pennyroyal. It was a lovely change from hotel rooms with no personality. The property is beautiful and we all had a fun time exploring together."
    Hayley, February 2011
     
  • "Absolutely fantastic place! We went down with a group of 12 or 13 friends and just had the best time. Rolling hills, a dam full of yabbies, amazing hosts, and 60 acres of beautiful land to explore... The fire was lit when we arrived and the house were kitted out with everything you could possibly need... not to mention the stunning views. It made for such a beautiful weekend, thanks so much. Highly recommended, we'll be back next year for sure!"
    Megan, September 2010
     
  • "Thanks for all your help Sara. Pennyroyal was absolutely perfect for our yoga retreat. The barn was a great space for our yoga sessions - and although the fire kept us warm, we're all looking forward to coming back and practicing outdoors on your absolutely stunning property."

  • "Absolutely picture perfect! Such an amazing place to getaway with my closest friends. Fantastic facilities in such a wonderfully big farmhouse and lovely hosts to boot. Thanks so much for having us all, we'll definately see you again! Bree "

  • "Just returned from this wonderful property. It felt like I was moving into my own private hideaway, so peaceful and truly magical. I loved watching the Llamas grassing along the mountains. Wouldn't we all want to live in such an environment. The accommodation was perfect even in this cold winter we're having. All in all its just a beautiful way to spent a weekend."
    Joanne, July 2010
     
  • "We stayed over three nights as a group of twelve made up of three families and had a terrific time. The kids loved getting away from the city and making the most of this beautiful property. Thanks to Sarah and the family for their absolute friendliness and hospitality that topped off a terrific weekend."
