Countrywide Cottages, Bambra holiday accommodation, Victoria holiday accommodation, VIC, Australia

Countrywide Cottages, Bambra, Victoria, VIC, Australia, Countrywide Cottages offers 4 star, pet friendly, self contained cottages. Choose from our 4 secluded Great Ocean Road cottages spread over 26 acres of farm and pristine bushland. Ideally located in country Victoria only 25 minutes north of Lorne and 1.5 – 2 hrs from Melbourne, this is the perfect accommodation on Great Ocean Road, Victoria. One of our cottages even features wheelchair friendly accommodation!

When did life stop being so gloriously simple?

Start with a lovely long walk or ride your mountain bike around the bush block in which the cottages sit, or extend yourselves by wondering on to the Otway Forest Park, which our property abuts. You'll find that our property offers the best activites of any farmstay accommodation victoria options you might have!

Check out the recreation area with a pool table and dart board in the "pub" and a gas BBQ undercover in the "saddlery" next door. There’s plenty of room to kick the footy or bowl a few overs.

Bring your children up to help us feed our array of critters in the mornings - the bunnies, chickens, sheep and alpacas. There’s always a bunny in need of a cuddle and the chickens' eggs are finders’ keepers!

Remember your Huckleberry Finn days and take the kids yabbying in our huge and well stocked yabby dam. Just the thing for some muddy fun. Strings, nets and catch bucket provided. Bring some smelly old meat with you to lure them in. Yabbies (Australia's fresh water shrimp) are wonderful tossed in some garlic and butter or have them the good old fashioned way with some vinegar - yum! We've even got some recipies for you in the cottage.

Perfect venue for wandering the bush by day, or take in a torch lit night walk for a tree top search for possums. Finish off a great day with a camp fire out the front of your cottage and toast the night away with gooey marshmallows! Each cottage boasts a bonfire area for those cosy evening wood BBQ's and marshmallow toastings (seasonal restrictions apply). Why not try your hand at creating some damper?

Of course, there's always the cottage verandah for a lovely quiet sit and sip as you watch the gorgeous King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas enjoy their meal from the bird feeders.

Or take out the binoculars and do some serious bird watching. We have had some serious amateur bird watchers visit who have seen in excess of 40 different birds in just 24 hours. If you are lucky, you may even get to see one of the Powerful Owls roosting in the bush land next door. Our thanks to Kristy Philliskirk for her magnificent photo (right) taken in November 2010


Anyone for tennis? Bambra tennis courts are 3 k's down the road and are available to our guests to use free of charge. Coin operated night lights are also available, so bring your tennis gear and have a hit while you are down.
