Property Description

The road from Deans Marsh to Lorne winds its way over the treasured Otway Ranges through the extensive National Park. Here and there are discreet pockets of privately owned acreages in an otherwise dense forest landscape. This is one such property. Much of its 27 acres is retained native bush including areas of virgin, old growth and new forests, which adjoin the National Park. The two self contained studios are set 100m apart along the easily accessible property's ridgeline, where they capture uninterrupted, panoramic views of the ranges from inside and out.

Constructed of steel, corrugated iron, timber and glass, the studios are aesthetically striking. They are designed for privacy, romance and indulgence - with wood fires, double spas and two televisions - as well as being equipped for self-catering.

The eco-sensitive Cantilever Studios were built off-site and assembled in situ creating the minimum disturbance to the environment. Their fascinating architecture involves a centrally supported living space, with decks front and back, while the bedroom and spa bathroom (pictured above) are cantilevered either side. There is a distinctly Japanese designer style to the timber lined interior, the bedroom presentation and the finishes throughout. As with the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom each have large windows on the Otways.

Recreational facilities

Window on the Otways has an indoor health and fitness facility on the property, housed in a building of corrugated steel and transparent polycarbonate. Dubbed the 'Zen Den', it features a spa pool with endless swim jets, a cedar sauna, an exercise bike and Yoga/Pilates equipment. The Zen Den is available to all guests at no extra charge.
On the property there are walking trails to Penny Royal Creek and the Park boundary. Bush walking and mountain biking (bring your own bikes) are popular outdoor activities on the property's doorstep.
