Gwinganna Country House is a Eco Friendly retreat nestles amidst three hectares of traditional country gardens high in the hills backing on to Otway StateForest and overlooking spectacular mountains and a beautiful valley. Perfectly positioned between rainforest and all the glorious beaches of Apollo Bay, Gwinganna has much to offer those seeking sanctuary from the rush and crush of the city.
The property was formerly a market garden and the house is now surrounded by a picturesque garden including an array of Japanese maples, weeping cherry trees, camellias & perennials. The Otway rainforest and magnificent eucalypt tall trees are adjacent to the boundaries offering rainforest walks with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.
Gwinganna comfortably accommodates 8 with three bedrooms as well as a separate bungalow a few steps away from the main house, surrounded by trees and flower gardens. The 3 bedrooms within the main house contain 2 queen size bedrooms plus a light and airy loft with 2 single beds which can be made up as a king bed if required. The separate bungalow contains another queen bed plus 2 singles.
The interior has a touch of the old with its wood fired heating and slow combustion stove accompanied by modern facilities such as a dishwasher, DVD, walk-in pantry, dining table for 12, rustic furniture & contemporary artwork. Reverse cycle heating and cooling is also available.
There is also a separate games room which allows some good old fashioned fun with friends around the billiard table and table tennis table as well as providing an additional space to play music and lounge around in.
Outdoor decks provide delightful reading areas with magnificent back drops to admire between pages. Alternatively just sit and take in the view ……….. you’ll find yourself in a meditative state of mind in no time at all. Cap the day off with a BBQ and outdoor dining while the sun sets over that glorious valley.

LOCATION & LOCAL AREA
Apollo Bay is just 43km from Lorne and 185km from Melbourne, along with Great Ocean Road. This charming seaside fishing and farming village is tucked on the edge of a broad, curved beach, with the Otway ranges in the background. The local fishing fleet is moored in the bay, protected by a breakwater.
Horse-riding along the beach, bushwalking, golfing and fishing are popular pastimes with locals and visitors. There are numerous idyllic picnic spots, such as under the giant tree ferns of Paradise.
