We booked for 10 nights at Beech Berry Farm - we wished we booked longer. Otways and the Great Ocean Road are stunning in themselves - however, on the farm we were living with old trees, surrounded by beautiful garden and bush. Our own private Otways luxury experience!
We spent a lot of time in the garden relaxing or playing games and also making use of the kyaks David provided. The house has incredible views outside on the garden and bush from its large open windows. The house itself was great for my family - my teenagers and friends with a variety of spaces to relax, play and hang out in - Great kitchen for cooking and sharing meals together. So peaceful and relaxing. We rode the mountain bike trails most days in Forrest - walked and rode along on the Old Beech Rail Trail, walked sections of the Great Ocean Walk and took day trips to the beach. It is a bit of a drive - to get into town - but this is the nature of living in this community.
We had hot and cold days during our January stay - but the house had great cooling and heating and it was fun lighting a fire at the end of the day.
A fantastic family retreat can highly recommend and would love to return one day.
