Walden Dale - 5 acre Otways retreat

5 acres of bush bliss, overlooking native gums and a tranquil dam.

A quiet and peaceful sanctuary, sleeping up to 4 adults and 4 children. Master bedroom with king bed and en suite, second bedroom with queen bed, and third bedroom with double bunk, single bed and single trundle mattress. Guest bathroom with shower and lovely bathtub. Linen provided.

Comfortable in all seasons with split systems in each bedroom, a wood heater in the living room, and outdoor fire place with plenty of seating. Large shed with pool table, foosball, darts and ping pong. Plenty of room for the kids to explore.. goats to feed, trees to climb, mini ninja course and even a flying fox.

Kitchen with gas oven and stove top, microwave, coffee machine and plenty of cookware/cutlery/crockery. Indoor and outdoor dining areas; with barbecue on the back deck and grill on the fire pit for cooking outdoors.

Close to Birregurra’s Royal Mail Hotel and Brae restaurant; Forrest and its mountain bike paths; and the magnificent Otways. Rail trails, bushwalks, waterfalls, tree top adventures and the redwoods are all within easy reach.

The house was comfortable, stylish and clean. Beautiful gardens and expansive outdoor spaces. The games room in the shed was great fun and we loved patting the animals each day. It was so green and quiet - just what we needed.
