A Retreat. A Business. A Lifestyle. - In the heart of the Otways

An exceptional Otway retreat offering a rare combination of natural beauty, established income and outstanding lifestyle potential, 20 Hoveys Road is a property where the hard work has already been done, allowing the next owner to simply arrive and make it their own.

Privately positioned amongst the stunning Barongarook landscape, this remarkable 10-acre property features three beautifully appointed, fully furnished cabins, each designed to embrace the tranquillity of the surrounds while providing all the comforts of a stylish country getaway.

Cabin One offers two spacious bedrooms, an inviting open-plan living area and a spectacular spa beneath a glass ceiling - the perfect place to unwind with a bottle of bubbles while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Cabins Two and Three each feature their own sunken spa, bedroom accommodation and beautifully considered open-plan layouts.

Each cabin is complete with modern kitchens, cosy wood heaters, split-system heating and cooling, and expansive decks capturing panoramic views across the property. All three cabins have also been updated with new septic systems and, being Class 1a buildings, offer flexibility for both short-stay accommodation and longer-term rental opportunities, subject to the relevant requirements.

The accommodation operation is already well established and performing strongly, with the cabins marketed across multiple short-stay accommodation platforms as well as their own dedicated booking website. The current business easily clears six figures in annual revenue, providing a proven income stream and an exceptional foundation for the next owner to continue or further develop.

A further advantage is the ability to live onsite while keeping the accommodation business operating, with a cleared homesite already prepared and plans completed by the current owners for a substantial family residence. This creates the opportunity to enjoy the Otway lifestyle firsthand while maintaining the established cabin operation and its strong earning potential (STCA).

Beyond the accommodation, the property continues to impress. A picturesque vineyard adds to the charm, while the magnificent blue dam and private jetty create a beautiful focal point and an idyllic setting to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Adding even further versatility is the impressive 12.5m x 27.6m shed, complete with kitchenette, office, bathroom and shower facilities, and three-phase power. Offering an additional potential income stream, the shed can be leased commercially, providing the opportunity to generate rental income alongside the established accommodation business, subject to the relevant approvals and use requirements.

The combination of breathtaking scenery, established accommodation and quality infrastructure also creates the potential for wellness retreats, private functions, intimate weddings and other unique events, with guests able to stay onsite and experience the beauty of the Otways.

Whether you're seeking an established tourism business, a unique family lifestyle, a wellness retreat, an investment with multiple income streams, or simply a private escape amongst nature, 20 Hoveys Road offers an incredible range of possibilities.

Located in the gateway to the renowned Otway region, you'll be surrounded by some of Victoria's most spectacular natural attractions, while still enjoying excellent accessibility. Just 12 minutes to Colac, 45 minutes to the Great Ocean Road, approximately 1 hour 10 minutes to Geelong and 2 hours to Melbourne, this is a country escape without sacrificing convenience.

20 Hoveys Road is a truly unique lifestyle and business opportunity - private, picturesque, established and income-producing. With three Class 1a cabins, an established short-stay business operating across multiple platforms and its own dedicated website, a cleared homesite with plans, an impressive commercial-style shed and 10 acres of stunning Otway landscape, the foundations are firmly in place for the next chapter.
