Merri Banks Lodge

1 site · Lodging6 acres · Dennington, VIC
We have over 100 years of association with the property as our Mothers family lived in the Merri Banks Historic Farm House next door. Made from sandstone corner stones and Merri Mud Rock it was built C1847-1852. We purchased the land and our brother Peter at Select Architects Geelong designed our environmentally friendly house with double glazing, recycled materials, a worm septic, passive cooling/heating & native plantings. With the beautiful Merri River flowing around, hearing the ocean roar at night and friendly farm animals we are grateful to live in this beautiful corner of the world. Great to host and share with others. A great stop from Great Ocean Road where you will get to witness stunning views, beautiful bird life and see animals over the fences along the way such as highland cattle, Persian painted sheep, angora goats, alpaca, and chickens. Strategically placed where you can witness the sun setting over the river. Please expect to see other guests and hosts- Tiny Home 100metres and Lodge 150meters from Glamping site.

FeatherLeaf Sanctuary

6 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Simpson, VIC
Endless views of the sky. FeatherLeaf is so named because of all the trees and all the feathered friends - kookaburras, currawongs, Satin Bowerbirds, King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas, just to name a few. So many to photograph or just watch! Listen to the cacophony of kookaburras at dawn and sunset. Frogs and munching macropods (wallabies and kangaroos) at night. Bring a telescope and view the amazingly clear night sky (OK, sometimes it's cloudy)!. Just over 5 acres of former dairy farm just outside Simpson, close to the Otway Gourmet trail, Great Ocean Rd, Otways National Park and more. The Coradjil Bushland Reserve is across the road. Great regional towns such as Timboon, Port Campbell, Peterborough and more are all nearby. If you want rural peace and great pastoral views, amazing sunsets and sunrises, and love bird-watching and nature-watching, this is a great place to stay. There are currently 2 retired and very curious dairy cows in the paddock where they are living their best life with treats and no demands on them except to allow pats occasionally! We are a sanctuary for all. No hunters please.

Coastal Town Block Camp

1 site · RV, Tent5 acres · Narrawong, VIC
A half an acre town block conveniently located an easy 800 metre walk to the beautiful Narrawong Ocean beach. The Surrey River winds through the small seaside holiday town and is great for kayaking, fishing and swimming. Lifeguards patrol the main beach during the summer holidays. The block is long and narrow with a flat shady camping area up the top just inside the gate. This area might not be suited to everyone as it is having some traffic noise from the road. We prefer to camp down the bottom of the block on a mowed area of approximately 18 X 18 metres. We have planted young trees down here but they are not yet big enough to provide shade. If your tent or caravan is faced to the north you will have a beautiful view across to Mt Clay in the morning. Bird watchers will especially enjoy the outlook. Campers and caravaners will need to bring their own water and toilet as there are no services on the block. There are public toilets near the foreshore reserve but no dump station for toilets. Please dispose of your camping toilets appropriately and take all rubbish with you. If you book our place, you will have the whole site to yourself unless you wish to come with friends. If you are coming with friends, please book their site in separately. We book per site not per person. This is a half-acre residential town block so please respect our neighbours and keep noise to a minimum after sunset. The General Store next door to the property is undergoing renovations and currently not open but basic supplies can be bought at the Narrawong Post Office or caravan park and it is a fifteen-minute drive to Portland where you have everything you need. Nearby attractions and distances are: Narrawong Beach - 800 mt Surrey River - 600 mt Mt Clay State Forest - 13 km Budj Bim National Park Cultural Centre and Café - 22km Portland - 16 km Port Fairy - 55 km Grampians Nation Park - 118 km The Great Ocean Road - 93 km
