Overview
Otway Estate Cottages offer luxury adult accommodation in a peaceful and tranquil environment. If you are after a truly romantic getaway then Otway Estate Cottages are the place to stay.

The four and half star rated cottages are nestled in bush land on the Otway Estate Winery and Brewery, a 28 acre property in the beautiful Otway Ranges – 12½km south of Colac and 160km (or two hours) from Melbourne.

We have studio cottages for couples or our 2 bedroom cottage with spa room can accommodate two couples.

Each cottage is fully self-contained so you can either curl up in front of the fire in winter or sit on the veranda in summer. Read a book, watch a video, listen to the stereo or laze back in the spa as the jets wile away the strain of a busy day. Enjoy a fantastic glass of Otway Estate wine or a Prickly Moses Hand Crafted beer and of course relax!

Otway Estate produces a liquid to quench any thirst. From boutique wines, hand crafted beer and cider to a vast selection of delicious cordials. Each beverage is produced on site using natural local products – Estate grown wine grapes, local fruit and berries, or pure Otway rainwater.

With a landscape of natural beauty, an abundance of wildlife, fresh local produce and hidden gems of talent in our gallery Otway Estate is waiting to tempt any visitor.
