Countrywide Cottages provides 4-star, self-contained and pet-friendly accommodation on 26 acres of bushland and farmland in the Otway Ranges. The property, celebrating 25 years of operation, features four private cottages, one of which is specially designed for wheelchair accessibility. It is located just 25 minutes from Lorne and under two hours from Melbourne.

The cottages offer open plan living areas with wood heaters and split system heating and cooling. The large property borders the Otway Forest Park and is ideal for bush walks or mountain biking. Guests can enjoy campfires outside their cottage, subject to summer restrictions, and children can visit farm animals including an alpaca, sheep and chickens. A recreation area with pioneer buildings provides a pool table, other games and space for a BBQ. The accommodation has been recognised as one of the Top Ten Australian accommodations for seven consecutive years.
