2 Bedroom House in Tanybryn
The Otway Haven
A private rainforest retreat in the heart of the Otways
Escape to The Otway Haven, a beautifully appointed two-bedroom cottage nestled within the Great Otway National Park and lovingly referred to by returning guests as “The Otway Heaven.”
Surrounded by ancient rainforest, established gardens, and open paddocks, this boutique, self-contained retreat offers privacy, quiet, and space to truly unwind. Although it feels wonderfully secluded, the cottage is just minutes from the Great Ocean Road, waterfalls, beaches, walking tracks, and some of the Otways’ most spectacular scenery.
The Otway Haven is ideal for couples, close friends, or small families seeking a slower, more restorative stay, where everything has been thoughtfully arranged so you can relax from the moment you arrive.

The Living Space
The cottage opens into a light-filled living and dining area with a high vaulted ceiling and a secure, private entrance. At its heart is a contemporary wood-heater fireplace, with generously supplied firewood and fire-lighting essentials throughout the cooler months. On cold days, guests often arrive to a fire already lit.
Settle in with comfortable seating, dining for two, classic board games, a curated reading library, binoculars for birdwatching, and a quality Bose music system. Super-fast Starlink Wi-Fi makes it easy to stream, work lightly, or simply stay connected if needed.
Bedrooms
There are two peaceful bedrooms, each furnished with a luxury queen bed, premium linen, plush pillows, electric blankets, quilts, spare throws, and panel heating.
One bedroom includes a large smart TV with satellite channels and streaming apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV. A porta cot and a secure child’s dining chair are available for guests travelling with young children.
Bathroom
The bathroom is spa-inspired and quietly indulgent, featuring a shower, hip bath, plush Egyptian cotton towels, waffle-style bathrobes, premium toiletries, and a hair dryer.
Kitchen and Breakfast
The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas oven and cooktop, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine, milk frother, and ample cookware, crockery, and glassware.
To make your first morning effortless, continental breakfast provisions are supplied, including eggs, cereals and oats, crisp breads, jams, honey, milk, teas, Nespresso pods, and hot chocolate. You can settle in and enjoy a relaxed breakfast without needing to go anywhere.
Outdoor Spaces
Wander through the surrounding gardens, relax on the generous deck with rainforest views, or gather around the outdoor dining table. The Weber BBQ is ready to use, with a full LPG bottle and no cleaning required afterward.
In winter, guests love the outdoor firepit, complete with complimentary firewood and marshmallows. Additional amenities include on-site parking, bicycle storage, a pétanque set, and seasonal outdoor lounging options.
Pet-Friendly by Arrangement
Well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval. As the property adjoins paddocks with sheep and alpacas, we ask guests to contact us before booking to discuss suitability. Approved pets receive water bowls, treats, and a guide to local dog-friendly walks and beaches.
