Cottage Accommodations
Each cottage at The Source, Otways includes a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Rooms come with a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, toaster, and kettle for basic meal prep. Heating, air conditioning, and a wood-fire heater keep the space comfortable. Board games and puzzles are provided for downtime, and key access allows self-check-in after hours.
BBQ and Breakfast
The lodge offers BBQ facilities for outdoor cooking. Tea and coffee making equipment is in each room, and breakfast is available for in-room dining. There is no kitchen sink in the cottages, so dishes are washed in the bathroom sink.
Hiking and Farm Life
Guests can hike directly from the property on marked trails through forest and farmland. Wildlife like roaming chickens and cows are common, and the resident farm animals Luca and Lanto (likely pets) make visits memorable. The garden offers a quiet spot to relax, and nearby trails lead to scenic viewpoints.
Location and Access
The Source is set in Tanybryn, Victoria, a 20-minute drive from Apollo Bay and its shops and beaches. Avalon Airport is 130 km away. Free private parking is available on site. There is no public transport nearby, but the farm is surrounded by the Otways rainforest with hiking trails starting at the property.
Hotel Services
The lodge provides free parking, self-check-in via key access, and allows pets. There is no Wi-Fi or mobile signal except in one spot away from the property. The hosts leave brochures for local attractions and set up the fireplace. Guests can borrow board games and books from the cottage.
“The surroundings here offer a genuine escape, with private rainforest tracks leading to waterfalls that feel like a discovery. Inside, the warmth of the fireplace creates an immediate sense of welcome, a thoughtful touch that makes the comfortable cabins feel truly inviting. It's a place that balances its natural setting with a tangible sense of home.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Auvictoria
