Beech Forest Accommodation at Hyde Park Cottage


Beech Forest Accommodation at Hyde Park Cottage: A 1923 fully self contained cottage at Beech Forest.
Beech Forest has some of the most picturesque scenery
in the whole of the Otways. And unlike many other areas it still has
a good share of working dairy and potato farms. Consequently, the pastures
here are almost always green and the views sensational. If you're after
a taste of real country life, then this is the place! Hyde Park Cottage
is close to all of the major tourist
attractions in the Otway Ranges and also en route to the famous
Shipwreck
Coast and its many attractions including the 12 Apostles. |

Derryl & Jean Towers have lived on this farm
in Beech Forest all their life. Derryl's parents settled in Beech Forest
shortly after their marriage in 1923 and this cottage was actually brought
from Turton's Pass ( now a lovely stretch of road through some magnificent
rainforest just minutes away by car ) on the back of a bullock dray.
It was a small 2 bedroomed cottage used by the timber cutters of the
day. A few rooms have since been added on but it still retains the charm
of a dwelling from yesteryear. Hyde Park Cottage can sleep up to 9 people
and is perfect for families or couples who are seeking to experience
rural living on a working dairy farm. |

Hyde Park Cottage is very
close to the Otway Fly. You need to allow yourself at least 1 hour to
fully appreciate what the walk has to offer. And just down the road
