Description

Breathe in the fresh air and absorb the peaceful bush setting; sit back with a good book, soft music and a glass of wine. Relax by the wood fire, on the verandah or around your own private winter campfire. Don't forget the marshmallows!Wander the bush tracks on the property or hop over the stile to gain access to the fabulous Otway Forest Park (previously Angahook State Park).We’re delighted to have you stay and will welcome you on arrival with home-made treats. Your dogs are very welcome at Countrywide - they will love the bush tracks, a cool swim in the dam and the home made doggie- treats that welcome them on arrival too!Try your luck at catching some yabbies in our fully stocked dam. You may even catch enough for dinner. Come and meet our aplaca and sheep. Our chickens will do their best to keep up the egg supply to ensure you enjoy a taste of their wonderful free range lifestyle - eggs are ‘finders keepers’. Check out the recreation area with a pool table and half table tennis table in the "saloon" and a gas BBQ undercover in the "saddlery" next door. There’s plenty of room to kick the footy or bowl a few overs. Countrywide Cottages are close to superb wineries, excellent cafes, berry farms and of course the Great Ocean Road, the Otway Fly, beaches, waterfalls and picnic spots. With lots of great day trips to choose from, it’s an excellent place to stay and far enough away from the tourist crowds to be an authentic, tranquil Australian bush experience. Fabulous! Sit back, relax and enjoy with the security of knowing that your host lives on-site and is available for any advice or assistance to make your visit perfect.
