Ready to loosen your belt a few notches? Bluestone Fields is sat right along the Otways Harvest Trail. When you’re surrounded by such exceptional local produce, a gourmet adventure has got to be on the cards. https://www.bluestonefields.co/what-to-do/outdoorsy-types monthly 0.5 2020-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590386213200-SFPSNEJXUGMHVOW0C9QY/image-asset.jpeg What to do - Outdoorsy types. Otway Fly Treetop Adventure In the mood for something a little more adventurous? The Otway Zip Line or Treetop Walk should fit the bill. Strap in for an exhilarating series of flying fox zip lines, sailing through the rainforest from tower to tower, up to 30 metres from the forest floor. Or if you’d rather take things a little slower, see the Great Otway National Park as the crow flies from an impressive 600m elevated walkway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590387340803-2UQPORDIXJI2YO509ID9/image-asset.jpeg What to do - Outdoorsy types. Otway Bike Rides Nearby Forrest is great for a bike ride with a whole range of mountain bike trails. Wind your way through beautiful bushland, with over 65km of purpose-built track. There’s plenty to suit an accomplished rider, with easier trails to help you get to grips with things if you’re new to mountain biking. Start with ‘Rollercoaster’ trail in the south network, then maybe add on ‘Third Time Lucky’ and the second half of ‘Forrest Loop’ (which is the fun half anyway.) With all that exertion, naturally you’ll want to stop by the Forrest Brewing Company for lunch and ‘refreshments’ after. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590298964120-XF8V7CG0KH2B2EQI3N56/image-asset.jpeg What to do - Outdoorsy types. Great Otway National Park In the Great Otway National Park, you really feel the world is your oyster. Soak in the wide expanse of blue sky and sea at one of many beaches, secret coves or rock pools. Try Torquay, famed for its pumping surf, or take a dip at Anglesea, where iron-rich red cliffs frame the sand. The trail from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles stretches for a massive 100 kilometres; surely enough to tire out even the longest of limbs. Or, opt to ramble through dense rainforest. Hikes abound in the Great Otway National Park, but don’t miss the Californian Redwoods. Initially planted as an experiment, these statuesque trees have now grown to 60-metres tall, making for the most humbling of hikes. The rainforest is also the place to discover atmospheric waterfalls amidst the hum of wildlife. It’s an easy hike to reach Stevenson Falls, a moderate hike to reach Hopetoun Falls, Little Aire Falls and Triplet Falls and a difficult hike to reach Beauchamp Falls. https://www.bluestonefields.co/what-to-do/culture-vultures monthly 0.5 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590393912532-AL9XWUIY3W52B9CC7TJD/36679_te.jpg What to do - Culture vultures. - Old world charm in Birregurra. With a striking sense of nostalgia, wander the streets of Birregurra to feel transported back to the 19th century. Affectionately known as ‘Birrie’, this town has a magnetic pull for culture vultures and foodies alike. With carefully restored shop facades on Main Street and historic landmarks, a trip to this village is well worth the short 10-minute drive from Bluestone Fields. https://www.bluestonefields.co/talk-to-us daily 0.75 2020-05-25 https://www.bluestonefields.co/features daily 0.75 2020-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590124571649-XDLMVYDZLG7V752FPZ6H/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_001_LR+-+Copy.jpg Features - With room enough to sleep eight guests, this four-bedroom house is a majestic spot to soak in the natural splendour of rural Victoria. Just a stone’s throw from the Great Ocean Road, where rugged coastline is lapped by turquoise seas, there’s lots to do in the surrounding area (more on that here). But we’re happy to say, a meandering week spent at Bluestone Fields alone would feel plenty enthralling enough.

Equally, for a group getaway, you’ll want ample space for everyone to relax in each others’ company. Our farmhouse-style open plan kitchen-dining-living area can adapt to whatever mood you’d like to set. A double-sided fireplace crafted from stacked stone helps this space instantly feel like home, no matter how far you’ve travelled. On one side, stretch out on leather couches dotted with soft, squidgy throws and cushions. This warm, earthy toned space with hardwood accents is ideal for board games, movie marathons or solving the world’s problems with a good old chinwag. Or, sink into the snuggle couches on the other side of the fire for a moment of repose after a busy day’s berry-picking.

With muted grey tiles underfoot, our fully-equipped kitchen can help you prepare culinary creations of all shapes and sizes. You might await the local wildlife with a grazing board for accompaniment out on the patio, or pack a platter for an impromptu picnic to watch the sunset by the dam. Or there’s plenty of opportunity for more serious cooking, with a six-burner stove, Caeserstone surfaces and European appliances.

The sky turns peach and violet as you gaze across the paddocks on the last night of your Victoria weekend getaway. A hint of breeze rustles the branches of towering gum trees as the kookaburras chuckle then cackle. You take a sip of the wine you picked up on today’s exploration. And sigh. This is just the kind of serenity you’d hoped for. Laidback luxury amidst natural splendour is what a stay at Bluestone Fields is all about. Our secluded four-bedroom sanctuary is nestled in the Otway hinterlands out the back of Lorne, just 20 minutes from the iconic Great Ocean Road near Melbourne, Victoria.

Unwind inside or stroll down from the fruit orchards to the lilypad-strewn dam, the home of our resident goose. We reckon you’ll agree, time here is time well spent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610152625-Y41NYN6XCAXYMELKQMWR/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_015_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Tranquil open-plan dining area & kitchen, access to BBQ area and patio at Bluestone FIelds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610178951-SVDEWWR4L1YAFP5L4SK0/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_019_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Farmhouse-style open plan dining area with a 10-seat extendable dining table at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610115415-ILJEHSCVGSX2M5WS5YF3/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_012_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Farmhouse-style open plan living area with genuine leather couches at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584663590635-RLATMN3NB78JHMN6J1L6/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_049_LR.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610208303-NJ17ANKUQNQQTCFY6ZZ8/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_016_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Farmhouse kitchen at Bluestone Fields, fully equipped with European appliances, a six-burner stove, and Caeserstone surfaces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1590292428801-VSAL2NZCZGGPV7P5HER9/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_040_LR.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610201185-F9SLYDQM53U7UXYTJR48/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_022_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home 10-seat extendable dining table at Bluestone Fields' farmhouse-style open plan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610249941-BJOAH67DXCY19DPP6MYA/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_014_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Double-sided fireplace crafted from stacked stone at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584663564165-MHJZAA2S8X0TAUJIJUZY/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_024_LR.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610104227-MUTXE37PJ80X1CS1MCKL/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_008_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Master bedroom with king-sized bed at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610090482-O69Z8EWNB202QHOKQY0W/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_007_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home En-suite bathroom attached to master bedroom at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610089364-64JUMQHCAPKYUQ60VD2J/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_006_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Stunning jet tub in Bluestone Fields' master bedroom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610219605-37P9XE86FDWDJ2OXH6ZF/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_001_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Queen-sized bed in second bedroom at Bluestone FIelds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610515899-LD8QS87RRCSHRH6K02BU/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_005_LR.jpg Home Second bathroom at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610087547-NQ29IGOQODUZX58WR8FE/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_004_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Two twin-sized beds in third bedroom at Bluestone Fields https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e730acb3b16e04cc4c006a6/1584610195436-XJ1F2XTHNQ0CKP3VBDKT/%C2%A9CMcConville_MurroonHouse_Mar2020_011_LR+-+Copy.jpg Home Two twin-sized beds in fourth bedroom at Bluestone Fields
