The place was amazing. The cabin in the woods - for us was quite an adventure. It was so lovely to go off grid and the house is really cosy and has all the things you need. We loved the old LPs

“Wonderfully comfy accommodation in peaceful nature”
Very comfy beds. Lovely, beautiful, peaceful setting and secluded views (only the sound of nature). Great spacious living area (with lots of games) and bathroom (with spa bath), and cosy fire. Everything you could want for. Thoughtful touches and accommodating hosts in Vic & Dave, who even got up before sunrise to give me a lift to the marathon bus stop. Would not hesitate recommending to anyone in the area. Thanks for making our stay so special. Loved the Glow Worms too!

We recently stayed at Tall Trees Cottage and absolutely loved it. The place is beautiful, warm, and very homely, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. What meant the most to us was how safe and comfortable it felt throughout our stay. It’s a truly peaceful and welcoming property, and we would happily return again.

A delightful stay. The property was very clean and the facilities were top-notch. The drive to the property was scenic. Lack of wifi only enhanced to the experience and the glow worms were a surprise. The hike around the property was a brisk beginning to a wonderful morning (except for the leeches) and the dusk sights are pretty.

Loved the location, set back from the main town. Perfect as a nature getaway! The property had everything we needed, including information about a night walk on 'Glow Worm Alley' two minutes from our cottage. The birdlife seen from the balcony is also incredible.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Tall Trees Eco Resort in Apollo Bay. The place is full of charm and character — peaceful, cosy, warm and exceptionally comfortable. Surrounded by beautiful trees, it feels private and deeply relaxing while still offering every modern convenience. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, clean and welcoming, which made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. It’s a perfect retreat to unwind, reconnect with nature and enjoy the magic of the Otways. Thank you for creating such a special space — we would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to future guests.

“The most magical place”
This property was amazing. It felt totally secluded deep in the forest, but was less than half an hour away from the Great Ocean Road and surfing hotspots, and all the diverse landscape between. The cottage provided all the essentials and more. There was incredible animal life, including families of cheeky King Parrots that flocked to the bird feeder and entertained us with their antics. But my favourite thing about the property has to be how incredibly clean it was. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was the best it could be. We're definitely going back, we've already booked our next stay!
