Lovely remote location. Very easy check in and great communication about everything. Highlight was seeing the glow worms at night

The location was amazing and very secluded. The animals being right near the cottage was so cool and the dogs were so cute and friendly, always wanting pats. Inside the cottage was so warm and cosy and it was nice to get away from the busy city life.

The location of the cottage is in the middle of the farm place and forest. 20 minutes driving distance to Apollo bay. The vibe of the cottage gives us a feeling of inviting and peaceful, especially the drawings and photos hung on the wall. You will find a range of board games and books in the cottage too. The fire place is amazing. I like the process of lighting up a fire and get warm from it. Lots of love to Luca and Lanto too, they are so special, heartwarming and make our stay even more memorable. It was nice meeting all of you and thanks again for all the beautiful places you shared with us! All the best!

The place was absolutely amazing. Nice and secluded away from the fast pace of life. Has its own waterfall and walking tracks.

Didn't like that we had to hold our dog on leash outdoors. There should have at least been an enclosure around the cottage with a gate to leave the dog off leash.

loved the location and the wilderness

Excellent view. Close to the forrest and falls. Quiet and not far from Apollo Bay. The room is spacious, it’s warm at night with the electric heater and fire. We found everything we needed, and all in good condition. The landlord is very warm and welcoming. Great experience.

The home itself was so lovely, warm and homely! Vita, one of the hosts, had made the stay as simple as possible, setting up the fireplace and everything else we needed within the home! I wish we had more time here since there's lots to explore around the property! A breath of fresh air from the city, absolutely loved this place! Would be more than happy to make the trip to stay again!

The cottage didn't have wifi, which didn't bother us, but good to know. Other than that we were sorry to leave our dirty dishes, because it felt strange to wash them in the bathroom sink as there is no kitchen. All in all just minor points.

A lovely cottage in Otways, a beautiful rainforest. It was easy to do self check-in and the cottage was well equipped and was super cosy with a firewood heater. It was very clean and had a nice view. It had quiet surroundings, and you hear nothing except for nature. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to do the trails nearby, otherwise we would definitely have visited. The strength of the shower is very good btw, and they had quite a few brochures for attractions nearby which was very useful.

The carpets in the cottage are in need of upgrade. The price is high compared to others in the locale. The decorations are unique and brilliant but let down by ikea furnishings! While it was clear on the booking, the lack of kitchen (or even just a sink) is a mystery! It would so make it perfect!

The Source is a brilliant farm in the otways. The facilities are starting to feel a little tired, which is take nothing away from the brilliance of the location and ambience.

A kitchenette would have been nice. Everything worked fine, but I personally don’t like washing dishes in a bathroom vanity.

Lovely farm stay with stunning private tracks down to the rainforest with waterfalls. Very clean and comfortable cabin. Very peaceful.

We really enjoyed our stay, exploring the waterfalls and watching the glow worms.

Nothing. All was good

Location & cottage was exactly as described: offgrid, peaceful & tranquil. Small holding farm with geese, goats, peacocks & 8 new born piglets on our arrival day.

Really enjoyed our stay, especially the waterfalls, glow worms and baby goats. The trails to some of the waterfalls were a bit more challenging than we expected, but a lot of fun and the waterfalls were very pretty.

Exceptional nature experience! Vita and Fabian were the most welcoming hosts and have created such a cosy little getaway. Despite the low outside temperatures the rooms were nice and worm thanks to a brilliant fireplace. The hosts recommended us a place on their vast property were we could see light-worms after sunset, which was a truly amazing experience. Also the walks through the forest on their property were just stunning with multiple waterfalls at the doorstep!

Wouldve preferred there be a kitchenette in the cottage.

The property was absolutely beautiful... a perfect time of the year to visit. A think beautiful blanket of mist, drizzling rain and green. Everything was lush and green and thriving.

Old tired property

Closest location to the Lake Elizabeth and the platypus tour

Stayed in February 2025

No oven, not enough heating set up for the bedrooms and couldn’t leave our dog off leash coz of the chickens and couldn’t do the nature walks without waterproof shoes

Great location, nice hosts

Dusty Cold, actually the wood fire was really needed It also would be great to have a least a small map for the walk (even just something made from Google map)

Next to nature, walks inside the property Fire wood

Lack of attention to detail in the accommodation - we were not provided with hand soap, bin bags, or any kitchen cleaning cloths. We arrived to find dirty sheets from the previous guests had been left on the couch. The only cookware provided (two pans) were burnt to the point of being unusable. Blown/missing lights in the bathroom and lounge room. No kitchen sink meaning that dishes had to be cleaned in the bathroom basin (next to the toilet). There was evidence of animal faeces on the plywood wall that appeared to block the remainder of the kitchen.

The location was fantastic, the private walks were wonderful, and the glow worms were a sight to behold.

Consumables were not sufficiently provided. For example, we had to buy our own coffee and firewood, even though these things were supposed to be included. I was horrified to receive a threat of a cleaning bill after we had left the property for a mark on the carpet, when the carpet was horribly dirty as well as stained. We didn't mind it being dirty as we were travelling with our dogs, but I found the phonecall after the event to be threatening and unreasonable. Funnily enough, I didn't hear back from the owners after I pointed out my concerns.

The food was provided without proper consultation about what was being served. As a result, we paid a premium for food that had to be discarded due to intolerances. One host was lovely but forgetful so did not deliver the things he had promised. The other host was difficult to deal wth and not transparent.
