Cape Otway

Great Ocean Ecolodge

Official Rating

‘Peaceful Relaxation, Amazing Wildlife’

Great Ocean Ecolodge is all about enjoying peace and quiet in the midst of fantastic nature and wildlife. This is why you’ll get no mobile phone or TV reception here. Instead, you can enjoy a lodge in the grounds of The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology surrounded by pristine bush land, lush rainforests, secluded beaches and steep cliffs, close to one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines. The Ecolodge is entirely powered by solar energy and has been planned for sustainable living. Your guest room is private, comfortable and peaceful, furnished with antiques. Nearby there’s opportunity to explore the wildlife or engage in activities such as swimming, surfing, mountain biking, golf and even seal spotting. The Otway Lighthouse is just 6km from the lodge and the Great Ocean Walk is definitely worth taking.

In Our Opinion

‘You can get stuck into as little or as much of the conservation activities as you like. It’s certainly special to venture out into the bush to help researchers save endangered species.’
