Hideaway Cottage is a secluded property set amongst the towering gum trees of the Otway Ranges, making it ideal for a romantic escape or a quiet family retreat where you can get away from it all.

This gorgeous hand crafted two storey mud brick cottage is full of nostalgic charm and character, yet well appointed with modern conveniences.

The spacious ground floor open plan living area has a comfortable leather lounge suite, TV, DVD player, sound system, record player and a game console. Snuggle up in front of the wood burning heater (wood supplied) or there is reverse-cycle air-conditioning for year round comfort.

The fully equipped kitchen features a gas cooktop and oven, a Scandia combustion stove, microwave, Nespresso coffee pod machine and fridge. There is one bathroom with a vanity unit, shower and toilet.

A staircase carved from Tasmanian oak leads to the two bedrooms on the upper floor. The master bedroom has a queen bed and beautiful sunrises can be observed from the window. A partition separates the master bedroom from the second bedroom which has two single beds. All linen and towels are supplied.

If required, Tuck Away Cabin, located 50 metres from the cottage, can also be hired. This rustic and cosy wood cabin is nestled within the ferns and is ideal for teenagers wanting their own space. The open plan cabin sleeps up to 4 people with a double bed and set of single bunks. There is a TV, a large selection of DVDs and a heater. Cabin guests will need to go up to the cottage for cooking and bathroom facilities.
