Great Ocean Ecolodge @ The Cape Otway Centre for Conservation Ecology

The Great Ocean Ecolodge @ COCCE

At Cape Otway, early in the morning, the gum trees are ethereal, their white gnarled trunks floating in the mist. Then the still, silent dawn awakens to a thousand birds singing as the sun rises to another perfect day.

Spend time exploring the spectacular Great Ocean Walk, paddling in the shallows of secluded beaches and relaxing in the dappled shade of the eucalypts, watching the dozing koalas high in the branches above you.  Escape to Cape Otway now ... just for a moment, with Australian Geographic.
 
Spring at Cape Otway is magical, the wildflowers are beginning to bloom and the tiny joeys are exploring the world beyond their mothers' pouches for the very first time.  
 
 ~ we do look forward to welcoming you soon.

With best wishes to all our guests and friends,

Lizzie and Shayne
