Nature lovers will enjoy discovering the Otway Ranges, with its many spectacular beaches, waterfalls and other hidden beauty spots, as well as the famous glowworms at Melba Gully which light up the forest at night.

The Big Tree at Melba Gully State Park

Chase an elusive trout in the river, drop a line off the rocks or join the fishing fleet at the Apollo Bay harbour for a day crayfishing in Bass Strait.

At the Cape Otway Lightstation you can even climb the lighthouse tower and step back into history, imagining the wild seas and the shipwrecks which brought about its construction.

You might even like to take out the canoe (supplied for our guests) and explore the nearby Aire River estuary and surrounding lakes. Or take the Great Ocean Walk, an extraordinary and challenging coastal adventure.
