Woodlands foliage cottage is set in a country location with direct views to the highest peaks of The Grampians / Gariwerd. This property is 'off the grid' and powered by solar energy making it a sustainable option for your weekend or week away. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and unique views waking up to birds singing, and kangaroos, wallabies and emus grazing nearby. Moyston General store is 10 minutes which has the best coffee! The cottage is located on a native foliage farm. It is located near the main home but still has complete privacy with a view directly to Mt Duwul (Mt William). To the east of the cottage is Woodlands foliage property which you drive through to get to this spot of isolation. Once settled, take a 10 minute drive to the Kalimna Waterfall carpark within the Grampian National Park or take a 30 minute drive to Halls Gap which puts you in the heart of the Grampians and within reach of many day walks or the children may like to visit the well known Halls Gap Zoo. Alternatively you may like to do a wine tour near Great Western, which is only a 20 minute drive. In the evenings, we suggest you eat in and enjoy the sunset from the comfort of the cottage and balcony. Be prepared and bring your meal with you so you don't miss out on the sunset. We recommend the town Ararat for all your supplies which is 22km away. Always take care on the road in the evenings and be aware of kangaroos.

Fiona is your host. My partner and I run a small native foliage and flower farm which includes my own floristry business. We embrace the Australian flora and fauna by way of listing our property as a wildlife sanctuary. We grow mostly all Australian flora of which some is endemic to the Grampians region. You will get to enjoy a bunch of locally grown flowers in the cottage. Walks are available at certain times of the year. I look forward to meeting you as having travelled extensively over the years it is nice to repay the hospitality that I have received elsewhere. Having recently completed walking the Grampians Peaks trail, I can help advise a variety of walks that will suit you or direct you to the experts. We have a list of tourism information in the cottage but again, I know the area well and are very happy to help guide you towards the activities that will interest you the best within the time you have here.

Woodlands foliage cottage is situated on the Eastern side of Gariwerd (The Grampians) directly under the highest peak Duwul (Mt William). The Grampians region has extensive hiking opportunities, sightseeing drives that rival many, and the well recognised wine region. Woodlands foliage cottage is situated between Halls Gap and Dunkeld so it is all within a short drive. We recommend the Moyston General store for a morning coffee. For basic supplies Ararat is a short drive and has a variety of stores for you to select from. Mostly though, this is a tourist area so there are many hikes, scenic drives, tourist attractions, wine cellars, eating venues, in the Grampians region. It is a perfect extension to the Otways tourism route or a stop over between Adelaide and Melbourne as it is only 2.5 hours from Melbourne.
