Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (6/5): - The cottage is clean and have a positive atmosphere. Surrounding nature makes the place very relaxing. We loved the fire place. Carport next to the cottage was so helpful. The direction of getting to the cottage was a bit confusing. One of the reasons we booked this cottage was having a spa but we couldn't use the Spa as it was so cold and by the time it got to the right temperature it was bed time. We were disappointed as we expected a ready to use spa like other places.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This is just awesome stay Loved it In middle of forest Quite and relaxing House was very clean and spa
• Leanne (10/5): Quaint serene getaway with everything - So quaint and peaceful but only 10mins out of Colac. So serene peaceful get away with everything you need.
• Chris (10/5): - Clean and tranquil place to unwind and relax. Lovely area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great place.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Quiet location, well set up kitchen/bathroom, bedrooms, porch on three sides and Hot tub with a view (bit noisy in the night, we had to turn it off) Parking right next to cottage under carport, when we arrived the table was set and a lovely bottle of wine was waiting. Kitchen also has coffeemaker, teabags etc, dishwasher and washing machine come with some tablets, plenty of towels and pillows, sofa pulls out (great for relaxing) BBQ and fire place available but not to be used in bush fire season. The winery and brewery are unfortunately closed, and the cafe is only open friday to sunday, and then only sells pizza so that was a bit disappointing. Good base to visit the twelve apostles via the gourmet route (we loved Timboon distillery and blueberry picking)
• Shanti (8/5): Just a few issues with communication - The stay itself was lovely though the manager told me that the brewery nearby was open but not for meals however the brewery has been completely closed for sometime. Also I was told that I could pay the remainder on arrival but the remainder was taken out of my bank without me knowing the week before. Also the day before I emailed a few questions and left a few messages on the managers phone and had no response at all. Also there was no wifi or phone connection at the property whilst the brewery was not in operation. (apparently you can get wifi at the brewery and you can ask a staff member for the password ) Also we got a list of instructions of how to leave the property emailed to me on the evening of our stay which of course I couldn’t access until I had left the property and was within range again.
• Will&Candy (10/5): - First getaway since COVID restrictions were lifted. Went with friends and what more can I say but thank you. Was one of the most peaceful stays we have ever had. I would stay here again in a heart beat just so I can see the rest of the winery next time. Clean and inviting with great communication.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Ideal place for a peaceful gateway. Not far from melbourne so pretty decent drive too
• Jeffrey (10/5): Beautiful wine country - 3 week road trip along the coast from Melbourne to Sydney and this was our first stop. Beautiful location, private along with wildlife right outside. Enjoyed the brewery and the Italian pizzas.
• Kerry (10/5): - Lovely, relaxing comfortable, peaceful place yes would stay there again. 5star.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was very peaceful and was surrounded by lively trees and vines.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - What a breath of fresh air! The cabin was in great condition and in such a beautiful area. The number one compliment goes to the staff who went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Definitely a starred place to revisit. Thank you so much!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Winery and brewery were closed, and this was one of the main reasons we booked. Property is changing hands, but no advice to clients. Some areas were not clean( oven tray was filthy ) and limited amount of firewood available. Do hope the new owners do a better job

• jess (10/5): Bush, vines, relaxing and beer - We had a fantastic stay at Otway Estate. The cottage (No.2) was set in bush that was inside the vineyard estate. We heard frogs at night and I even saw an owl. The room was clean, with a well stocked bar, and big spa. The fireplace was also set up ready to light, and there was tonnes of hot water. The kitchen is well equipped too. Craig and Jude were amazing - we had lovely chat with them at the brewery and they went that extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Pet friendly. Fun. Relaxing. Excellent beer. Great hosts. Couldn't recommend more highly!
• Selma (10/5): Otway Cottage 1 - Lovely spacious cottage with spa pool and all facilities. Enjoyed trying the paddles of beer and cider. Great walks to the waterfalls. Excellent.

• Eric (8/5): Beautiful - Absolutely wonderful getaway.
• Mick & Nae (10/5): Peaceful and serene slice of heaven. - Our stay was in January and the bush and vineyard surrounding was just perfect to go off the grid and reclaim some special time and recharge your batteries. We left feeling super relaxed and will definitely return again.

• Vicky (10/5): - Great food, wine & beer
• Linda (10/5): - Facilities: Above average; Service: Flawless, Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Faultless, Delightful; The restaurant, cellar door and brewery are just a stroll away from the cottages so you don't have to leave the estate for anything! Truly romantic
