Description
Designed by one of the world’s leading environmental architects, Moonlight Head is a private super lodge perched on a dramatic headland and is extremely exclusive - ideal for parties of up to eight people. Overlooking Otway National Park, home to swamp wallabies and western grey kangaroos, this luxury eco lodge is in a semi wilderness setting on this rugged and beautiful stretch of coastline on the mid point of the Great Ocean Road.
Designed as either a discreet hideaway for couples or the perfect place for family get togethers, this child friendly contemporary style lodge comes fully staffed to look after your every need. Meals are prepared on demand from the freshest local ingredients and it is up to you whether you would like a formal dinner, a sumptuous picnic or a classic BBQ. Children are well catered for also and there is a Butler’s Pantry stocked full of treats that can be raided day or night.
Moonlight Head is one of the few private lodges where horse riding is a major activity - take a full day trek through the stunning Great Otway National Park with local guides or gallop along one of the many empty beaches bordering the majestic Southern Ocean. Other activities include whale watching, motorbike or cycling riding along the Great Ocean Road, nature hikes and wreck diving.
