The Lodge is exactly as pictured and described. A beautiful and relaxing setting for a adult family. We travelled with 3 couples and the spaces were perfect for us to share. My in-laws stayed in the main bedroom which had views out over the ocean and views of the kangaroos etc night. The other 3 bedrooms connect to this via a long hallway and also all share 1 main bathroom which was fine for us since we were only 2 couples and we didn't use the 4th bedroom.
I highly recommend the hampers that Cindy prepares. This is a great way to start your holiday and as the lodge is isolated it avoids you having to stop along the way to the lodge and go shopping. We opted for 2 of the breakfast hampers which was enough for at least 2 mornings for 6 adults. We also opted for a vegetarian hamper which Cindy made especially for us and included lots of local delights including local cheeses, nuts, crackers, fresh vegetables etc.
There was a family of Kangaroos that visited the property every day which was a real treat. They also had 2 joeys with them and we saw them jump in and out of mum's pouch. A short drive down to Wreck beach with Jordans help with the tides times. We also saw a group of people doing the "Great Ocean Walk" down on wreck beach which was nice and I image this lodge would be a great stopover stop if you are planning on doing this walk with a group of friends.
Another great little treat was the wine and beer list that Jordan & Cindy offer on site. After a long day of driving the otways, and us being disorganized, it was great to arrive back at the lodge and with a simple text Cindy dropped off cold beer and wine for us to enjoy and simply added to our bill on check-out.
The weather was raining and windy during our stay, but luckily It is a very short drive to the redwoods, waterfalls and Otway harvest trail and all are worthwhile doing while in the area if you cannot go to the beach.
There is an open fire and a few board games available which was a great way to end each of our days together as a family.
All the amenities you could think of are included in the kitchen including a Juicer, Rice maker, Sandwich Press, grater, cheese slicer, bottle opener etc. so if you are included you can bring a lot of your own food with you and there is no need to bring anything like this with you. We bought a bottle opener and cheese slicer with us just in case, but both were not necessary.
We will most certainly be back and highly recommend this lodge.
