Josephine, luxury in the Otways

The perfect luxury getaway property, located on five acres in the peaceful surrounds of Wyelangta in the Otways. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space as you hike, bike and explore the wonderful Otway Ranges and Great Ocean Road. Take in beautiful sunsets and captivating clouds through panoramic windows from your elevated vantage point on the Otway Ridge. The space An open plan living area offers a living, dining and kitchen space to make your stay comfortable and sociable. There is a wood fireplace in the living room. We supply a small amount of wood for your first and second night's stay. Hydronic heating panels in all rooms keep you warm even in the depths of winter. Air conditioning and purpose-built cross ventilation make summers comfortable, with the average temperature in the Otways being three or four degrees cooler than Melbourne on those hot days. The kitchen provides all the basics you need to cook during your stay, including plenty of pots and pans for larger groups, cooking oil and utensils. Note that we do not provide condiments, sauces, spreads or any other perishable food. The Master Bedroom has standout views south and west, ideal for taking in the sunsets. A luxurious ensuite includes large bath and again, those views! Two other bedrooms both have queen size beds plus a trundle in each for young children or teenagers. The south-facing deck provides wonderful 180 degree views of the valleys towards Johanna Beach and the Southern Ocean on clear days. When the weather is inclement, the views are often more breathtaking. A smaller deck on the north side of the house can be a warmer option in Autumn, Winter and Spring, adjacent an open grass space to sit and relax. Guest access We offer the whole house for your enjoyment, except our garage. But there are three car spaces, two undercover in our carport. A key safe enables easy entry. The PIN is changed regularly and provided a few days in advance of your stay. Other things to note Josephine is situated on 5 acres. Formerly dairy land, we purchased this block and planted 4,000 trees - and of course built our house in 2012. We have a passion for the environment and love feeling firmly planted on the land. We invite you to enjoy a 15 minute walk on our own forest paths, winding throughout the property. Look out for Kookaburras, the occasional wallaby or two and lots of other birdlife. Our Weber Q BBQ is available for your use.
