The Otways: where coastal rainforest meets wild Southern Ocean on the Great Ocean Road. Fall under the spell of a magical place of ancient trees, untamed creatures and waterfall wonder. It's all about time lost and adventure found in breathtaking natural surrounds.
ACTIVE NATURE
Immerse yourself. Get active, get moving, get real about your place in the natural world. The Otways is a paradise ready for active discovery.
BIG NATURE
Get up close to big nature in a lush and ancient eco-system shaped by eons of generous rainfall. Find magic beneath towering Mountain Ash trees standing the test of time. Marvel at tree ferns as palm trees and the ancient Myrtle Beech.
EAT & DRINK
And the first bunch of pinot graps plucked ready for vintage. The hoppy aroma of a craft brewery. Happy hour at the local pub. The pull of your inner foodie to indulge and know more - of the makers, the growers, the bakers, the artisan and purveyors.
OTWAY COAST HAMLETS
Otway Coast Hamlets - Wye River, Kennett River, Wongarra, Separation Creek, Great Ocean Road and Otway Ranges. The Otway Coast is the tranquil area of townships and rugged coastal beauty between the busy towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay.
