The Otways are beautiful, rugged, untamed and enchanting.
Embraced by the spectacular Great Ocean Road and the Great Ocean Walk there are so many
special places to explore, from secret rainforest gullies to the wild Great Southern Ocean.

Our Ecology Experiences Program is exclusive to Great Ocean Ecolodge guests and offers outstanding opportunities for observing kangaroos, koalas and other indigenous wild animals in their natural habitat. The Nature Studies Room and the Library are wonderful resources for checking on sightings and catching up on the finer points of natural history. All our staff are qualified ecologists or have an interest in sustainable living and organic gardening - we enjoy sharing our knowledge and experiences with guests and will be delighted to discuss your interests.
