Countrywide Cottages

Countrywide Cottages Top ten in Australia for seven years running ...we offer four fabulous dog friendly cottages in the beautiful Aussie bushland of Bambra.
(289)

Twenty five minutes drive to Lorne. Just ninety minutes drive from the Westgate Bridge. When did life stop being so gloriously simple? Settle into your four star, dog friendly cottage surrounded by native bush, marvel at the incredible stars, glimpse the native wildlife or just sit back and relax by the fire. Go for a long bush walk into the adjoining Otway Forest Park, snuggle in by the fire and

watch the birds on the verandah, try your hand at yabbying or let your dogs go crazy swimming and running in the dam and safely fenced paddock. And of course, there is a lot to take in in the local area with wineries, berry farms, cafes and great restuarants. Just 25 minutes drive south to Lorne and the Great Ocean Road.

These two always have a ball when they all come to stay! We love seeing the freedom our canine visitors have while here...that's what this place is all about - their freedom and your peace of mind! All the better for their fun and your enjoyment of a good Otways Distillery Dog Lovers G&T. Thanks

I know this is SO two weeks ago, but you have to see all the Easter bunnies that arrived then! These little poppets are the children of two lovely women whose family has stayed with us since they were little people themselves! The Easter egg hunt continues in the tradition (don't worry - every egg is counted and accounted for after collection!) Thank you lovely Manns! We have loved seeing your beautiful family grow!! The tradition is so strong the next generation has developed a cute fluffy tail mutation. The spotty T-shirts were in honour of the very much loved Jemima, recently passed. Can you guess her breed?

Oh my! We were privaleged to be able to gift a weekend for two people who had been through very tough times during the Carlisle River fires. This couple didn't see their children for 10 days and were away from their work places for three weeks while fighting the fires surrounding their area. We SO need these wonderful people who volunteer their time and hard work in the CFA, SES and all the volunteer services during such times. So a huge thank you to all of you, both in region and beyond, who came to the rescue. We are so happy that things are in control now and life as we know it has well and truly returned! But we were also SO delighted to receive this beautiful gift from our couple as they checked out! So lovely of them!!!! Seems the thanks just go around and around!!
