A Unique Rainforest Retreat

Welcome to the EcoPod at The Source, Otways.

Not up for camping, but still want the adventure of the great outdoors? The EcoPod at The Source, Owtays is a totally unique experience that brings back the feeling of connection with nature, whilst enjoying the comforts and cosiness of a gorgeous little abode. If you're after solitude or some intimacy with your beloved, this private little nest in the beauty and wonder of spectacular rainforest and waterfalls will kindle ample inspiration, invoke peace, tranquillity and rustic romance. Enjoy the simplicity of a log fire in your own fire pit, the big starry night skies outside, an adventure to the grotto for night time glow worms or simply listening to the song of wind and rain as you gaze out of your EcoPod window.

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 past the Homestead and Cottage, right up and park your car next to your EcoPod, for easy unpacking.

Your EcoPod is your little abode in the great expanse of The Source, Otways, where you can reconnect with yourself, your beloved person or craft, and nature. The EcoPod is the blend of cosiness and comfort with minimalist simplicity, for a relaxed, quirky and memorable stay. Smaller than a “tiny house”, this little abode comfortably sleeps two people on a cushy mattress, leaving enough space for your overnight necessities. BYO pillow and sleeping bag, or request full bedding for a bit of luxury (extra charges apply). There is a little solar powered light for your night time reading, and even a USB port to charge your phone, although our philosophy is "Less Screen, More Green" and we invite our guest to "disconnect to reconnect".

Your little sanctuary has an in-ground fire pit, and your stay includes firewood and kindling so you can cosy up to the log fire in the evening or boil your billy tea.

There is no toilet or shower, so you will need to be fully self-equipped for your toiletting needs (BYO portaloo or similar), bring your own water and leave no trace upon your departure. This pristine land is precious, and we open it to very few guests, who can be mindful in keeping it this way.

Come explore the magic of The Source, Otways!
