Jacaranda cottage has a charming outdoor entertainment area that is beautifully landscaped. Enjoy an afternoon wine, while your steak is grilling on the BBQ in complete privacy.
Discover Colac, a town with a rich farming and forestry history located just two hours from Melbourne. Set on the shores of Colac Lake and on the doorstep of the Great Otway National Park, Colac is a lively regional centre close to some of Victoria's most-loved natural attractions.
Immerse yourself in the serenity of the Otway's with its towering trees and dense fern glades. Enjoy a bushwalk to cascading waterfalls and stunning beaches, or head to the calm waters and eerie landscapes of Lake Elizabeth in search of the elusive platypus at Forrest.
Stretch the legs on one of the local rail trails. Run, walk or cycle along the Old Beechy Rail Trail that runs through the Otway Ranges from Colac to Beech Forest or hit the Forrest Tiger Rail Trail for pastoral landscapes, temperate rainforest and historic sites. For something a little closer, take a stroll along the 1.2-kilometre track through Colac's Botanic Gardens.
For the mountain bikers, nearby Forrest boasts some of the finest mountain biking trails in the state.
Enjoy a little retail therapy while wandering the streets of Colac. Browse country gift shops and specialty stores, stock up at community markets and cool off in the beautiful botanic gardens.
Hit the road and sample the region's best fresh produce, wines, beers and gourmet treats along the Otways Harvest Trail. Stop into Warncoort, Birregurra, Forrest and Ferguson, or drive further to the southern coastal cliffs, beaches and mighty 12 Apostles.

Thanks Joanna for all your effort to create a beautiful, luxurious and period interior with a stunning garden to match!! We loved all the attention to detail, a garage for our classic car and the brilliant location - walking distance to everything, especially the scrumptious Babil restaurant! We'll be back!!

We had a brilliant week at Jacaranda Cottage preparing for a family wedding nearby. From the fantastic assistance from Jo, for whom nothing was too much trouble, through to having everything we could possibly need at our fingertips. It was a cold week in June and the cottage was beautifully warm and cosy - electric blankets were a welcome addition. The location is great…walking distance to shops, supermarkets and the Botanic Gardens. Would definitely recommend.

Home away from Home
We loved our stay at this gorgeous property - the location was very central for all of the places we wanted to visit over our week and we really enjoyed coming "home" at the end of the day to relax. Jo was a great host and very helpful with suggestions and tips for our stay in the Otway area. Would definitely recommend and look forward to coming back to stay again soon!

Jacaranda Cottage
Stunning cottage with all the conveniences of home and a garden that is simply amazing. The garden is a great place for drinks, a BBQ, and for afternoon tea. A home away from home. Quiet area, close to shops, Lake Colac, and the Botanical Gardens. Day tripping to local towns and the surrounding areas is made easy due to the location of the cottage. We plan to visit again. Thankyou Jo for your hospitality and looking after us during our stay.

Wonderful spacious and centrally located property
We had a relaxing stay at Jo’s property. The property is much larger than it appears in the photos! It’s tidy, clean, and has all the amenities you’d need including a great garden out the back to relax in. The beds are comfy with electric blankets.
Everything was close by and within walking distance - the lake, gardens, and shops.
Jo was a terrific host, very friendly and was great at communicating all the details.
