Freshwater Creek Cottages | Farm-Stay Accommodation Victoria

Our Cottages are a great place to stay to take in the beautiful countryside Victoria has to offer whilst still being close to the Ocean.

 
 
 

It’s our aim to provide you with the backyard you’ve always wanted. For grownups and children alike, there is something for everyone.

At Freshwater Creek Cottages you’ll enjoy the peaceful rural setting, with natural bush land and farming vistas on your doorstep. The cottages are part of a 50 acre property, with over 20 acres of farming paddocks that hold sheep, cows, horses, goats and pigs. The farm animals also share their paddocks with more than 60 kangaroos that graze freely every evening. For the adventurers who like to explore, we’re close to Torquay, Surf Coast, Great Ocean Road and Geelong City Centre.
