Top of the Otways is in a nice location. It's between Forrest and Apollo Bay which suited us and we were able to bring our cat along as well which was lovely.
However the photos make it out to be a lot more private than it actually is. This cabin is right next to the main house and we had the owners coming and going past our windows and veranda at all hours. There are no blinds for the big windows/sliding door at the front of the cabin which means the owners can see straight in, which they often would be able to because the chicken coup/wood shed is about 5-10m away from the front of the cabin.
The window in the bathroom also looks straight out onto the main walkway between the owner's main house, the side of the cabin and chicken coup/shed. This meant that if you got out of the shower anyone walking past would be able to see straight into the bathroom. Happily the main bedroom has decent curtains so we could have a little privacy, but the second bedroom had similar curtains to the bathroom, meaning you could see straight into the room from the driveway and the owners house.
Overall it has the potential to be a really nice place but the privacy is a big issue. When you think Top of the Otways you don't think a cabin encumbered on all sides by farm buildings and owners that are a little too close for comfort. That being said, the owners were very friendly and there pet puppy way friendly and inquisitive as well.
