Do you know what is better than nibbling and drinking out on the balcony at Cape Cottages in Summer? Nibbling and drinking by the fire in Autumn and Winter. We supply the wine, the glasses and the platter. You bring the nibbles. See you there. Follow the link in our profile to find out more and inquire about booking your next getaway.

If you are familiar with Apollo Bay, you will know how the statue at the War Memorial stands guard at the top of the main street.  Like in many country towns, he stood pride of place today.

Congratulations to Tom and Abbey who were married earlier this year at Cape Cottages. We love small, intimate weddings for up to 50 guests. We can put you in touch with suppliers who can help you create exactly the look and feel that you are after. And we can accommodate up to 8 guests on site. Feel free to contact us via the link in our profile to chat about your plans with us. Beautiful photo by local photographer @sweeterthanhoneyaus

Definitely still Fish & Chip weather. But let's face it - when is it not? Best for our money - definitely the Harbour Fish Shop around at the Breakwater in Apollo Bay. That flake melts in your mouth!

Seriously ... how good is this weather? And there is still a little more to come next week. Thinking of making the most of it? We have a couple of upcoming weekends free in Sassy's View - our couples/singles cottage. Unfortunately nothing in the foreseeable future for Ollies View, that sleeps 6. Feel free to contact us via the link in our profile to check your dates. And it's never to early to book for Summer. Our bookings are already starting to fill.

We never forget your four legged friend at Cape Cottages. You will find all of this and more - a bed too - in Ollies View. Because we like to make EVERYBODY feel welcome and at home.

We are always amazed at how many people in Melbourne have never taken that iconic drive along the Great Ocean Road. Are you one of them? If so, make this year the year that you do it. Oh, and we know a great place that you can stay ....

We're almost half way through  but finally, Autumn  has arrived at Cape Cottages.  Hopefully tiime to start and collect those chestnuts!

Our favourite weekend road. How lucky are we to have the Great Ocean Road almost on our doorstep?

Don't be fooled by the sad look on Kate's (@hellourbansafari) dog. He's just exhausted after a day exploring at Cape Cottages and secretly over the moon that he is able stay with his family and take in the views from the decking. Really. We understand dog speak.

Who's up for some shenanigans outside on the lawn? Our cupboards are well stocked for school holidays fun.

Autumn is upon us and the Blauvelt Park birch grove is getting ready to rest for the winter.

How's your kid's view these school holidays? The lucky kids staying in our twin share room in Ollies View wake up to this view each morning. Not bad.

For all you guys asking to see it here's the show!

Dogs always welcome at Cape Cottages. Because we get it.

Don't forget about Sassy's Dream, our couples cottage. She has lots of weekends free if there are just the two (or one) of you. This coming weekend, April 13 - 15 April 20 - 22 May 11 - 13 May 18 - 20 May 25 - 27. So if you are looking to book an Autumn getaway while the weather is still not so bad, book now. https://www.otwayretreats.com.au/sassysdream

The weekend is all about sleep ins. Unless you would rather an ocean swim? Or a mountain bike through the Otways? Or a walk along the Great Ocean Road beaches? Still, with that bed, it's always an option ....

Friday night at Cape Cottages is all about dogs by the fire ....

The other week we mentioned the July school holidays and some very wise people snapped up their accommodation quick smart. Well played wise people. Because as we said, these are the holidays where everyone goes just a little stir crazy. So we have everything you and the family will need to break the cycle next holidays. We have board games. We have binoculars - seriously, these keep the kids occupied for hours. We have three bedrooms, two bathrooms. A fantastic kitchen. And 8 acres! Bring the bikes. Bring the dog. And you - bring a bottle of wine and a good book. Our only remaining dates available for Ollies View during the school holidays are Tuesday 3 July until Thursday 5 July. What are you waiting for? Book here - https://abnb.me/OecrjzuuzL or contact us via the link in our profile.

Still mostly great weather to sit out on our balcony. But most nights now, it's time for the blankets. And then maybe inside to light the fire. We do things right in the cooler weather here at @capecottages

Blauvelt park Terang, summer is leaving with a strange start to the autumn yet as the sun goes down on this beautiful old place it looks ever more at ease and just beautiful as always. #mazegarden #blauveltpark #oldworldgarden #weddingvenue #love #memories #getaway #unique #gardens #perfectescape #airbnb #Terang #southwestvictoria #mance #luxury #houseandgarden #homebeautiful #betterhomesandgardens #gaymarriage #BHGhome #gardeningaustralia #gayweddingideas #victoriaholiday #victoria #winterescape

So, you're planning your wedding.  Nothing too big.  And nothing too formal.  You just want everyone to feel comfortable, at home, relaxed.  And you love that outdoor vibe.  With views.  There MUST be views!  You SO need to speak to us.  We love those smaller weddings for up to 50 people and we can put you in touch with some awesome local suppliers who can make your day everything you dreamed it would be ... and more.  We love local photographer Rach from @sweeterthanhoneyaus who took this gorgeous shot of Dan and Claire's wedding at @capecottages.  Contact us via the details in our profile to start the ball rolling.

Anyone else doing this tonight ?

Look who's been to visit at @capecottages this morning!  Happy Easter.

Did you know that the Easter Bunny uses Google Maps to find you at Cape Cottages? True Story. Tell your kids! And it's never too early to start thinking about booking for next Easter. We have 8 acres for the Easter Bunny to hide the eggs around. Contact us at hello@capecottages.com.au. The early bird catches the worm .... Or early bunny catches the eggs ....

We don't just leave chocolates for you at Easter. We leave them all through the year. Just another of the little things we do to make your stay extra special.

When we say we have everything in our Ollies View kitchen at Cape Cottages​, we mean we have everything. We dare you to find something missing that you would need during your stay ...

My holidays have begun. Hellllllo Victoria! And hello to my amazing, beautiful new little nephew Harrison. I am smitten! . . . . . . . #holidays #victoriaholiday #easterholidays #familytime #familyholiday #metmynewnephew #mynewbabynephew #smittenkitchen #newbaby #love #somuchlove

The beautiful thing about being on all this gorgeous land at Cape Cottages​, is watching as the colours change with the seasons.

Almost every type of tea you could imagine and chocolate. Yep, it's all here waiting for you. Calling your name .....

Another amazing weekend, done and dusted, at Cape Cottages.

We're always going on about Ollies View, the star of Cape Cottages. But did you know Ollie has a little sister called Sassy? Sassy's Dream is our little cottage for two - or one - and though she be but little, she is fierce. In the words of William Shakespeare. A gorgeous queen size bed, fantastic ensuite bathroom with a great sized shower, this awesome kitchenette and our lounge with a view. And a great deck to take in the sunshine and listen to the birds. She doesn't book up quite as fast as Ollies View so you have a greater chance of getting a weekend here. Ollies weekends are booked solid from now until June. So contact us via the link in our profile to chat about a cosy weekend (or weekday) stay in Sassy's Dream.

One of the great things about having toddlers is that you are yet to be locked into the school holidays to take a break. So Mum's and Dad's of toddlers, do we have an offer for you! From now until April 30, we are offering a MID WEEK SPECIAL. Stay for three nights. Pay for two. Special is subject to availability on Monday to Thursday nights in either Ollie's View or Sassy's Dream. It is not available during school holidays. Available only when booked via the link in our profile and mentioning the MID WEEK SPECIAL in your booking enquiry. Three nights for the price of two - go on - you know you want to .... Photo credit - @hellourbansafari taken during her stay.

Whether it's out on our decking over the warmer months or curled up by the fire in the colder months, Cape Cottages just screams at you, Read A Book! So if you arrive down here and you find that you forgot to pack one, don't worry. We have lots of different genres for you to choose from in both of our cottages. So sit back, get comfortable and enjoy!

Sometimes, the thing that deters many people from taking a well deserved break is their dog. They don't have anyone they are able to leave them with and they really don't want to go down the path of leaving them at a kennels. We totally get that. That is why Cape Cottages are completely dog friendly. We supply a bed, a long lead, a bowl and even some doggy treats. We also have a gate that you can pull across our decking to create an enclosed dog run. So don't delay your holiday another minute .... Click on the link in our profile.

Yes he does.  Yes he does.  Who's a gorgeous boy then?  Because we all talk to our dogs like this, don't we?

Did you know that if cooking is your thing, our kitchen in Ollies View is fully equipped and waiting for you.  And so is all of that beautiful, fresh Otway's produce.

Sound familiar?

Need some of this in your life? Don't forget we have our mid week special rate happening right now until the end of April. Stay for three nights and only pay for two. Available Mondays through to Thursday nights. And not available during the school holidays. Send a booking enquiry via the link in our profile.

Because ... That VIEW! So, yes! Of course we have binoculars. And as a heads up - they keep kids occupied for AGES .....

For those of you missing our gorgeous beaches, just a short drive from @capecottages​. We hope this helps. And you really need to come back soon .....

Don't forget that due to a cancellation, our gorgeous little cottage, Sassy's Dream, is still available for you to book on the Labour Day long weekend. Go on. You know you could do with a weekend sitting out on the verandah, enjoying the serenity. And did we mention you can bring your dog too? For bookings, visit the link in our profile.

We're just going to leave this one right here tonight ....

The sun sets on another beautiful weekend at @capecottages ....
