Deans Marsh is a charming little village just a short drive through magnificent Australian bush to the coastal resort town of Lorne. Sleepy for most of the year : the exception being when the now famous New Year's Eve Falls Festival springs to life. Deans Marsh accommodation is unique - superb lodgings in a magic Australian landcape. Birregurra is situated in the foothills of The Otway Ranges and on the edge of the volcanic plains just 25 minutes from Lorne and the Great Ocean Road. Over the past few years this once sleepy, historic town has undergone a tremendous revival and now boasts a wide range of gift shops, cafes and galleries. It is fast becoming widely recognised for its celebration of country life festival in October. Accommodation in the Lorne hinterland offers what the coast cannot. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.
