25.01.2022 The Great Ocean Ecolodge is a social enterprise for Conservation. This is one of the programs that our guests contribute to by staying with us. Very proud of conservation researchers Mark le Pla and Jack Pascoe and their great work.

24.01.2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/BSMoRzBBeTt/ Some of our local residents are extremely cute!

24.01.2022 Get recharged by the breathtaking Otway forests during the day, and rejuvenate with homegrown food in our onsite restaurant at night. Your hosts Steve and Karlijn will pick fresh organic veggies from our Kitchen garden to plate up for you at night.

24.01.2022 Why not help Australias native wildlife while on holiday?.. At the Great Ocean Ecolodge near breathtaking Otway National Park in Victoria you can do just that!... This pristine bushland retreat run by Conservation Ecology Centre is set amongst lush rainforest and close to spectacular coastline and all profits go to wildlife conservation. Its also entirely solar powered. Bright idea for a getaway! See more

23.01.2022 A changed menu this coming week, with beautiful Laksa and blue vain cheese frittata from Apostle Whey Cheese!

23.01.2022 We are dreadfully sad to hear the news that Binna Burra has been badly damaged in the QLD bushfires. Binna Burra is a leader in ecotourism - they established what real ecotourism meant well before there was actually a term for it. Our thoughts are with the Binna Burra team, the Ecotourism Australia family and everyone who finds Binna Burra an inspiration.

23.01.2022 What a lovely write up, you can travel the country and stay at these wonderful eco resorts.

23.01.2022 The first whales of the year are being spotted along the Great Ocean Road! These are some wonderful shots by Joel Schrederis at Kennett River yesterday.

22.01.2022 Were just starting to understand the importance of #gut health in humans, what what does it mean for #koalas? It has been our pleasure to host Dr Michaela Blyton and Dr Ben Moore from Western Sydney U - Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at the Conservation Ecology Centre to undertake this most interesting work.

22.01.2022 Drinking one of these is still my favourite philanthropic endeavor! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4AHeol3A2/

21.01.2022 The Otways are an incredibly special place. Species that have been lost from many other places still survive in these gullies and forests and heathlands. Meet Emma, our dedicated conservation guide that will not only tell you about all the special critters that reside here, but who will actually show you them too! A dusk walk with Emma, or another ecologist from our dedicated conservation team, is included in every stay.

20.01.2022 One of a range of activities for guests staying at the Great Ocean Ecolodge is the evening dusk walks.
