This is an amazing place to stay if you want to get close to nature and truly experience the Australian bush as there are koalas everywhere in the trees and lovely walks (to the Cape Otway lighthouse and the magical rainbow falls) from the camp site! It is quiet and serene and you will see lots of other Australian animals such as kookaburras, kangaroos and possums. We stayed in one of the caravans which was a good price for 2 ($50 a night, check their website for updated prices) which are modern, clean and fully equipped with cooking utensils etc. Unfortunately it's impossible to get here without your own transport but well worth the trip if you can...
