South Victoria’s Cape Otway is a study in contrasts, with rainforests and freshwater streams merging with beautiful ocean views and beachscapes to form an unspoiled countryside appealing to any tourist’s personality. Finding activities to do in Cape Otway is as easy as stepping out the door; the very surroundings provide ample options for diversion. If you are the type who likes to plan beforehand, here are some choices for ways to use your time:

• Take a walk on the wild side on the Otway Fly Tree Top Walk
• Do some koala watching from your cottage verandah
• Fish in the Aire River
• Climb the Cape Otway lighthouse
• Walk through the Great Otway National Park, making sure to visit Rainbow Falls
• Ride a horse—maybe even your own—along the beach

Before going on your trip, be sure to book lodgings; Otway accommodation at Shearwater Cottages is a great option.
