Things To DoThings To Do

If you tire of gazing out at the magnificent views there is plenty to stir your interest outside.

For the energetic, a walk down the valley into the rainforest area is a must. Here you can follow the course of the stream as it winds its way through spectacular fern forest. Giant ferns, waterfalls and towering native trees combine to offer a first rate bush walking experience. There are a range of walks to choose from, the easiest being a leisurely 45 minute stroll and the most challenging being a 5 hour walk into the Angahook State Forest.

Our outdoor pool and spa is perfect for lounging around and the nearby BBQ facilities allow for poolside catering.

You can fish for yabbies in our dam (equipment is provided).

We have our own 18 hole mini golf course that is ideal for families or for practicing your putting, or you can visit the public golf courses at Lorne and Anglesea.

Lorne is only 30 kilometres away and offers magnificent coastal scenery and world class beaches.

Just down the road is a berry farm where you can pick your own berries in season or turn your hand at trout fishing. Horse riding is also available locally.

There are a number of friendly country pubs and restaurants within half an hours drive offering good meals, friendly service and local wines.

... and at the end of a full days activities you can relax in front of the wood fire and watch some of our complimentary latest release videos.
