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... More

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... More

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.

Hi I just wanted to tell everyone how wonderful a holiday we had at Countrywide Cottages DeanMarsh/Bambra a couple of weeks ago.

Hand made food, clean dog... More

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... More

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! More

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... More
