Come explore the surrounding gardens, visit the cows grazing on the paddocks and take an unforgettable stroll through 100+ acres of our temperate rainforest. Go on brief or a day-long adventure, following kilometres of world class walking tracks, timber boardwalks, bridges and steps that meander through the rainforest, past 300 year old Mountain Ash, magnificent Myrtle Beech and ancient ferns. Visit 5 private Waterfalls situated on the property and The Grotto that comes alive with glow-worms at night. Pack a picnic and enjoy relaxing in the Rainforest Pavilion, suspended over the Creek after your rainforest walk, where you can lounge on the comfy couches or splash in the crystal clear waters. Enjoy this magnificent nature experience, away from tourist crowds, in absolute peace and privacy of The Source, Otways.

Hidden Valley House, Anakie

Hidden Valley House is nestled in Anakie, VIC, set within the scenic Brisbane National Ranges and only a 1-hour drive from Melbourne CBD. Taking into consideration our ethos around sustainability, the cabin is “off-grid” so solar powered with a composting toilet but with all the amenities you need. The cabin has spectacular views overlooking the valley with an abundance of wildlife and has a small creek and several caves which have formed over millions of years. As well as the cabin, we offer a camping area to larger groups that need overflow accommodation if the cabin is not big enough. This makes Hidden Valley House a fantastic option for large groups wanting to have all the comfort and amenities of the cabin, but experience the back-to-basic joy of camping in nature. Set on an 18-acre property at the start of the Brisbane National Ranges, it is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, sugar gliders and an abundance of birds including eagles and kookaburras. Furthermore, the land is protected by Trust for Nature and Land for Wildlife offering long-term protection for many ecosystems, species and native wildlife. The property is surrounded by national parks and is only a short drive from charming, historical towns such as Meredith and Steiglitz and only 25mins to Geelong. A number of family-owned wineries are located nearby and within Victoria’s Moorabool Valley winery. AWD/4WD recommended
