About this farm stay rental

Escape to one of our two pet-friendly cottages in the heart of the Otways. Surrounded by National Park, the Nature Lodge offers a unique farm-stay experience with friendly animals to hand-feed, forest views and a cosy wood fire. Modern comforts include a barista-style coffee machine and fast Starlink internet. Explore nearby waterfalls, spot platypus at Lake Elizabeth, discover Forrest and its famous mountain bike trails, or enjoy the beaches of Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road.



The Nature Lodge is a split level open plan cottage, featuring three comfortable bedrooms, including two open plan loft bedrooms and one downstairs bedroom. Each furnished with a queen-sized bed, premium bedding and an electric blanket to keep you warm and toasty during the cooler Otway nights.



The spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is designed for relaxing and spending time together. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, including a full-sized fridge and freezer, gas oven, microwave and barista-style coffee machine.



After a day exploring the Otways, relax by the cosy wood fire, enjoy a board game with family and friends, or simply take in the views from the comfort of the lodge. If you don’t wish to switch off from the world, there’s fast Starlink internet allowing you to stay connected while enjoying the tranquillity of nature.



Step outside to your private covered entertaining area, complete with BBQ facilities and an outdoor fire pit (available outside fire danger periods). From here you can enjoy sweeping views across the farm and surrounding forest.



Dogs are warmly welcomed both inside and outside the lodge. A fully fenced and secure yard provides plenty of space for children and pets to play and explore safely.



During your stay, you’re welcome to explore much of our 32-acre farm, including the walking trails that lead down to the creek in the valley below. You’re also welcome to meet and hand-feed our friendly farm animals, including sheep, goats and chickens.



The property is home to two separate guest accommodations, The Nature Lodge and the Country Cottage , which are located a comfortable distance apart to provide privacy for all guests. Each accommodation has its own dedicated outdoor areas and parking.



A communal guest laundry is available on request. Please contact us during your stay and we’ll happily show you where it is and how everything works.



As this is a working farm and our family home, some sheds, paddocks and operational areas are reserved for private use. We simply ask guests to respect any signed areas and enjoy the rest of the property responsibly.



We acknowledge the Gadubanud People of the Eastern Maar Nation as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we live and gather. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

A beautiful little cabin at the top of the Otways. We stayed in the Nature Lodge and loved our 2 nights there. The freshly laid eggs left for us were delicious and the hosts made sure we were warm and cosy.

My son and I had an excellent week at Toto with our two not-very-friendly Aussie Shepherds. The house, location, views - amazing. Katie and Max are excellent hosts. We also loved the goats! Too sweet. We hope to return! Thanks, Katie and Max.

You wake up to beautiful scenery where clouds rise from the forest in front of you, what a spectacular view.We were provided with a carton of free range eggs, plenty of cooking utensils, spices, plenty of linen, and the host “Max” was very lovely, they made sure we had everything to make our stay cozy.10/10 for both the hosts and the property and location

Do yourself a favour and book this stay. Katie and Max were such friendly and accommodating hosts. The property was spotless, beautifully presented, comfortable and equipped with everything you could need for your stay. The location was stunning, surrounded by incredible views. It was the perfect getaway with friends, and we’re already looking forward to returning.
