Cottage

A Cosy Rainforest Retreat

Welcome to the Cottage at The Source, Otways!
Here you will find a comfortable getaway with spectacular rainforest and waterfall adventures on totally private land.

On arrival, as you come through the gate up the treelined driveway, look out for Barry, the resident Koala, and the cows on the nearby paddock, who curiously greet the visitors. You'll be able to drive up directly to the Cottage and park your car right near the entrance, for easy unpacking.

Your Cottage features two separate bedrooms - one with Queen-sized bed, another with two single beds (a 3rd single foldout bed is available in the living room) - with lovely fresh linen, pillows, doonas, and blankets. The separate modern bathroom has a toilet, spacious shower and vanity, with towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hairdryer provided for your convenience. Enjoy and relax on the cosy couches by the log fire in your living area, or sit at the dining table to enjoy a meal or play a game.

Although there is no kitchen in the Cottage, you are welcome to enjoy the outdoor gas BBQ as well as the tae and coffee making facilities, or alternatively, make your way to one of the local eateries for a fabulous country fair.

There is full Telstra phone reception, but no wifi / TV as our philosophy is "less screen, more green" and we invite our guest to "disconnect to reconnect" with themselves, each other and the spectacular nature at The Source, Otways. You may also enjoy some games and books provided for you in the Cottage and there is plenty of firewood ready for you to enjoy the cosy logfire. There is also a heater for those particularly chilly winter nights, and an air conditioner for the hotter days.

If you are staying with a little one, a portacot and a high chair are available on request. If you have a four-legged child, a doggie guest is welcome at an additional fee and with agreement for the doggie to be on leash at all times as there are many farm and wild animals and birds on the land.

And if there is anything else you require to make your stay more enjoyable, please feel welcome to ask.
We look forward to making your stay comfortable, enjoyable and memorable!

What our guests say

“Thanks for the great stay. Easy check in process. The cottage was cosy with all the necessary amenities. Fantastic location with beautiful surroundings. The waterfall walks on the property are among the best in the Otways. Will definitely be back.”

— Justin

“The Source offered our family a place to reconnect, explore magnificent ancient rainforests, learn from the land & owners, and most of all wind down from the daily grind. The cottage was warm & cosy, just perfect for our family of four. Thank you Vita & Fabian. The Source is truly magic!”

— Laura, John, Syd & Eddie

“Beautiful cottage and property. A super unique experience having your own vast and lush rainforest to explore in your backyard. The pictures of the rainforest and waterfalls don't do them justice. Perfect stay for couples or families wanting to escape the city and relax for a few days!”
