The Great Ocean Ecolodge
We
are committed to sustainable living, consequently, from its very conception we
were determined to build and operate an ecotourism venture that is true in
every way to our philosophy. The Conservation Ecology Centre’s research office is
located on site, providing the perfect base from which our conservation team
works to generate knowledge to nurture the Otways landscapes.
The Great Ocean Ecolodge and Conservation Ecology Centre are entirely
self-sufficient and do not rely on public utilities. Power is provided by solar
panels and rainwater is collected on site, filtered and heated by a solar hot
water system. The Ecolodge is a passive solar design, keeping you warm during
the winter and cool during the summer, and is decorated with timeless antique
furniture.
Enjoy our ‘garden to plate’ menu where food miles are measured in footsteps
from the Ecolodge’s kitchen garden. We also showcase local produce from farms
across the Otways.
