ACCOMMODATION DEANS MARSH VIC

Entering through an area of Otway foothills bushland (protected by a Land for Wildlife Covenant), Pennyroyal Raspberry Farm & Cidery is a hidden delight. Pennyroyal Raspberry Farm offers luxurious self-contained cabins for couples, with views over the berry rows to the valley beyond. Attractively furnished they offer many personal touches. Colourful parrots will join you as they come in to feed. You have the choice of self catering or one of Katrine's famous Raspberry Farm breakfasts. Their own produce and the local region are used for the breakfasts and in the Teahouse. The Crucible cider (awarded a bronze medal in the 2014 Australian Cider Awards) as well as the berry gins are available to guests at the farm. Well behaved dogs are welcome and dedicated areas available adjacent to each cabin. Peace, birdwatching and bushwalking are highlights. A picturesque drive will take you to excellent regional restaurants, wineries, craft and gift shops and galleries. A transfer service to the ultimate food and wine experience at Brae is available on request, along with other local sites. Energetic bike riders can try out the mountain bike trails at nearby Forrest or sample the brews (including the Crucible cider) at the Forrest Brewery and visit other members of the Otway Harvest Trail. During the berry season, people flock to pick their own fruit: two varieties of raspberries, five types of brambleberries, red, black and white currants, jostaberries, gooseberries and strawberries. New this year are the much lauded Crucible cider and berry gins. Use a stay at the berry farm and cidery as a base and it is a fantastic opportunity to visit all the local attractions as well as for day trips to the Coast, the Great Ocean Rd and the inland volcano country. Please see website for upcoming event details.

Entered into the Hall of Fame of the Certificate of Excellence on TripAdvisor in June 2015, you will certainly love it here. Come and enjoy four star, fully accessible and genuinely pet friendly bushland cottages. Relax by the wood fire, on the veranda or around your own private campfire (outside CFA fire season only). Wander the bush tracks on the property or hop over the stile to gain access to the fabulous Otway National Park. The four cottages are spread across 16 acres of bushland and are very well spaced from each other, offering an absolute sense of privacy. Countrywide Cottages has proudly held the Five Paws rating for Best Pet Friendly accommodation from Holidaying with Dogs since 2008. The cosy dog beds, home made dog treats and furniture covers for the couch potatoes, all make sure your pet feels as welcome as you do. The cottages boast huge fully fenced yards for your pets' freedom and security as well as your peace of mind. Your dogs will love the bush tracks or a swim in the dam and being away with their best mates. Try your luck at catching some yabbies in the fully stocked dam. Bring your children up to meet the animals. Meet the shy but delightful alpaca, Normie, the fat sheep and the chickens, who do their best to keep up the egg supply. Eggs are finders keepers. The undercover recreation area offers a gas barbecue and picnic tables for easy dining. Next door, play a game of pool, table tennis or just stay a while. Lots of room to kick the footy or to bowl a few overs. Nearby attractions include Otway Harvest Trail, the Great Ocean Road, Lorne, Otway Fly Tree Top Walk, galleries, berry farms, waterfalls, beaches, bushwalks and picnic spots.
