Spring 2017 

The long cold winter seems all but a distant memory now with spring well and truly here. As lovely as winter is on the farm, the property is looking gorgeous at the moment with many beautiful spring flowers sprouting all throughout Pennyroyal Farm. 

During winter while the fires have been roaring strong at Pennyroyal Farm Cottages, and the snow falling in The Otways, we managed to complete some improvements to the cottages.  The useful feedback from our lovely loyal guests helped us to determine what is important to you.  Thank you for filling out your guest feedback form.  It is the only way that we know if something is not working or if there are any suggestions on how to make your stay more comfortable!

Many people have also been asking about our gorgeous goats. Rest assured they are being very well looked after just around the corner.  The paddocks at Pennyroyal Farm are currently being renovated. We will be looking at bringing back some animals as soon as we can.  We will keep you updated.  If you are missing the goats, Vine Cottage has a tribe of character filled ones living on the paddock next to the cottage. Perhaps it is worth a visit!

Out and About...

Off the beaten track... 4WD in The Otways

With all the tracks due to open on the 2nd of November , it is a perfect time to "Get off the beaten track" of the Great Ocean Road and head into the Great Otway National Park.  

The Otways has much to offer for all four-wheel driving skill levels. The roads and tracks in The Otways are drivable in a standard 4WD in the dry, however in the wet you will need special equipment!  Make sure you are prepared! Parks Victorias Iconic 4WD adventures have fantastic driving ideas on how to explore the famous Otways coast and lush green hinterland. 

What are you waiting for!
