🌊 Great Ocean Road Getaway — Coast, Forest & Flavours 🌿
Escape the city and join us for a beautifully balanced day where the wild energy of the ocean meets the peaceful atmosphere of the Otways.
We begin at iconic Bells Beach before setting off on an easy coastal and forest hike through dramatic clifftops, peaceful bushland and open scenic viewpoints. Along the trail, we’ll pause for meditation and grounding — a chance to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature.
After the hike, we’ll enjoy homemade Ratatouille surrounded by nature, accompanied by unlimited tea, coffee, snacks and refreshments.
Our afternoon continues with scenic Great Ocean Road lookouts, a short Otways forest walk and a relaxed winery visit, where you can enjoy the peaceful vineyard setting and join an optional wine tasting.
A refreshing day filled with ocean views, gentle movement, homemade food, peaceful moments and easygoing company.
