Endless views of the sky. FeatherLeaf is so named because of all the trees and all the feathered friends - kookaburras, currawongs, Satin Bowerbirds, King Parrots and Crimson Rosellas, just to name a few. So many to photograph or just watch! Listen to the cacophony of kookaburras at dawn and sunset. Frogs and munching macropods (wallabies and kangaroos) at night. Bring a telescope and view the amazingly clear night sky (OK, sometimes it's cloudy)!. Just over 5 acres of former dairy farm just outside Simpson, close to the Otway Gourmet trail, Great Ocean Rd, Otways National Park and more. The Coradjil Bushland Reserve is across the road. Great regional towns such as Timboon, Port Campbell, Peterborough and more are all nearby. If you want rural peace and great pastoral views, amazing sunsets and sunrises, and love bird-watching and nature-watching, this is a great place to stay. There are currently 2 retired and very curious dairy cows in the paddock where they are living their best life with treats and no demands on them except to allow pats occasionally! We are a sanctuary for all. No hunters please.

Peaceful Country Stay

Host Megan was lovely to meet and extremely kind and helpful. A gorgeous piece of rural Victoria to share with 2 beautiful ladies. We were very lucky to share the paddock with the girls. Only a quick 1 night visit, however, many memories made.

Enjoyed our stay here. Megan was so accommodating. Her pet cows and dog were a treat to everyone. She also let us drive her ride-on mower. Highly recommended.

Really lovely spot, incredible sunsets! Close to the national park for walks and only 25 mins to the coast. Megan was very helpful and made sure we had plenty of firewood. Definitely recommend!

Breath of fresh air

Fabulous large, private sites surrounded by farm land. Megan offers a wonderful campsite away from the busy crowds. this allowed some recuperation between activities in the surrounding areas. We used Featherleaf sanctuary as a base to explore the Otway Tree Walk, Peterborough and Port Campbell.

Lovely countryside spot

We loved camping at Megan’s property. Waking up to beautiful countryside and her two lovely cows Beauty and Georgie. Plenty of space, good access to great ocean road and Megan was a great host. Thanks for having us!
