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 hunting parties. Note: you must have your own toilet and shower.

Lovely stay!

We loved our stay! Megan was absolutely lovely and very accommodating. The site was easily accessible and fit our caravan fine (18’6 ft) but heaps of rooms for larger vans. It was very quiet and scenic and we enjoyed two perfect evenings with a campfire 👌🏻 Located near a couple of towns for anything you need along with not being far from the 12 Apostle’s for some sight seeing. Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing!
We stayed 2 nights and used the location to check out the area and to access the great ocean road which was a short 20 minute drive away. The most amazing location, peaceful, relaxing and some nice wildlife including 2 friendly resident cows. Megan was an amazing host, lovely person, helpful and a lot of knowledge to give on the nature and wildlife in the area. A lot of nice flat land and ample space to set up, have your privacy and enjoy the sounds of nature.

Peaceful Country Stay
Host Megan was lovely to meet and extremely kind and helpful. A gorgeous piece of rural Victoria to share with 2 beautiful ladies. We were very lucky to share the paddock with the girls. Only a quick 1 night visit, however, many memories made.

Enjoyed our stay here. Megan was so accommodating. Her pet cows and dog were a treat to everyone. She also let us drive her ride-on mower. Highly recommended.

Really lovely spot, incredible sunsets! Close to the national park for walks and only 25 mins to the coast. Megan was very helpful and made sure we had plenty of firewood. Definitely recommend!
