We are a fitness business based in Adelaide and needed quite a bit of accommodation to suit our group for last year's Anaconda Adventure Race down in Lorne. But we are so glad we chose to stay out in the bush at Countrywide Cottages, just up the road. There are four seperate hourses, each sleeping I think about 6-8 people,... More

the cottage was perfect and Di is very thoughtful in all the things she provides in the kitchen, I've never stayed anywhere with such a well setup kitchen best of all was the relaxing beautiful surrounds, quiet wilderness, and peaceful atmosphere, and such a great place for our dog who loved the long walks amongst the trees, and the drive...

Loved the cottage, very clean and welcoming. The wood heater was very cosy too. The view of natural bushland from the verandah was wonderful, and it was so nice to hear the birds chirping in the morning. I would recommend this to anyone. More

my family has made country wide cottages an annual event. Bringing the family dog makes our stay a most enjoyable event, as on arrival the dog is treated to home made biscuits and a very comfortable bed. My elderly mother enjoys feeding the birds from the verandar and my brother spent a morning fishing and was most imressed with 'Ned's... More

What a fantastic location to share with friends! So secluded, and set amoungst beautiful bushland, and so close to Lorne! The accommodation was very neat, clean and comfortable, with great views from the individual verandahs, and the facilities had a fun country theme, with the cooking area (blacksmith and saddelry) to the games room (saloon) which has a bar, pool...

Immaculate modern cottages in a bushland setting. Kids loved the farm animals, feeding the wild parrots, catching (and cooking) yabbies and exploring the bush tracks - and so did we! Close to surrounding towns and a 20 min drive to Lorne there's plenty to see and do. You won't be disappointed. More

I can't recommend this place highly enough. My husband, Percy our dog and I stayed here (in the Igloo cottage) for a few days early Jan this year and had a wonderful time. We received a warm welcome from the owner Di and upon entry to the cottage found it immaculate, modern and containing everything you would need for a... More

We've originally booked these cabins for a weekend getaway with friends and our puppies in June. We had such a great time at the cabins and surrounding activities that the Otways offer we booked up for Christmas with much demand from the puppies who liked their dog beds, bowls and home made biscuits! The first trip was during the winter... More

We recently stayed at Country Wide Cottages in Bambra near Lorne Vic and had a very relaxing stay that was certainly not long enough. The cottages are well set up with everything you need, very clean and spaced well away from each other to provide privacy and personal space. We travelled with our blind Labrador and she loved it.
