I can't recommend this place highly enough.
My husband, Percy our dog and I stayed here (in the Igloo cottage) for a few days early Jan this year and had a wonderful time. We received a warm welcome from the owner Di and upon entry to the cottage found it immaculate, modern and containing everything you would need for a...

Hi there Briony....wow - what a great review! Thank you so much. It is always fabulous to hear people talk about the peace and privacy you can find here - part of the reason I love it so much myself!! Next time Percy will be even happier - we are installing fencing around the front of each cottage very shortly,...

We've originally booked these cabins for a weekend getaway with friends and our puppies in June. We had such a great time at the cabins and surrounding activities that the Otways offer we booked up for Christmas with much demand from the puppies who liked their dog beds, bowls and home made biscuits! The first trip was during the winter...

We recently stayed at Country Wide Cottages in Bambra near Lorne Vic and had a very relaxing stay that was certainly not long enough. The cottages are well set up with everything you need, very clean and spaced well away from each other to provide privacy and personal space. We travelled with our blind Labrador and she loved it. The...

Hi
I just wanted to tell everyone how wonderful a holiday we had at
Countrywide Cottages DeanMarsh/Bambra a couple of weeks ago.
Our 2 gorgeous golden retrievers (and our 2 x donkeys!!!) had
a wonderful time. The fact that we could allow them almost 100%
freedom was a bliss.
Their creature comforts were just wonderful.
Hand made food, clean dog...

Fantastic weekend away for our friends wedding just up the road. Was a great place to base ourselves for the weekend with people from around Australia joining us. Di was so helpful when 1 of our party got stuck in Melbourne keeping us updated on his progress with our limited phone reception (which was nice). We loved being able to...

We had such a lovely time and our two girls just loved it! It was great that they had their own little area to run around and sniff everything! It was so relaxing and exactly what we needed after a long long year! Oh and my girls loved to swim in the lake and have a bark at the lama...

We needed to get away for some quality time together. Snoop (our dog) travels everywhere with us, and this was our main consideration in choosing Countrywide Cottages. What can I say, but try it for yourselves. First Rate +++ The bush. The cottages. The service. The extras - birdseed, dog biscuits. You will not be disappointed We are already planning...

Hi Jerry and Laurie...thank you so much for the fabulous review!! We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Cheers, Di

Fantastic weekend away. Very relaxing setting and great for the dog as it was so easy to put him on the veranda without having to worry about putting his lead on.
Took the bikes with us and had a great ride to Lorne, very quite roads and stunning country side to boot!

Hi Greg....thanks so much for the great review - we really appreciate it!! Cheers, Di

We were just so so pleased with our stay at Country Wide Cottages, on arrival there were dog bikkies which just melted my heart so gorgeous. Di the owner was just divine we were a bit anxious about leaving are Rottweiler alone in an unfamiliar environment as we wanted to do down to Lorne for dinner, she was nice and...

Hi Melissa....thanks so much for that great review....we will be installing fencing around the cottages in February, so Tonka won't have to be stuck on the verandah in future!! Looking forward to seeing you again sometime. Cheers, Di

Tranquil and peaceful setting in the bush, every window with a view. Far enough away from the fever of the coast at New Year, but close enough to visit the wonderful beach at Lorne. The cottage had everything we needed, plus space which is often lacking in holiday accommodation. Di, our host, was ever accommodating. We had a memorable 4...

Hi there Aleysha....I am so glad you enjoyed your time with us - as you said - it's great to get away from the craziness of Lorne during the summer, yet be close enough for a cooling swim as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this for us!! Hope to see you again.
