Alkina Lodge – Wattle Hill

Located directly on the Great Ocean Road, this boutique accommodation is situated just 20 minutes from the monumental sights of the 12 apostles. It’s half an hour from the coastal town of Port Campbell, and close to the Great Ocean Walk, the Great Otway National Park, Wreck Beach, The Redwoods, Apollo Bay and Johanna Beach.

The lodges are a monument of design, crafted by award-winning architects. These short-rental homes have room for one to 12 guests, and are built with sensitivity to the local landscape. The lodges breathe with the natural climate, and the use of skylights and windows brings a touch of the outdoors inside.

The lodges house four bedrooms and three bathrooms, ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends looking to escape to nature. Multiple lodges can be booked at once for larger retreats. Fitted with the most luxurious features available, the homes feature bespoke wood fireplaces, kitchens equipped with first-rate appliances, Bose entertainment systems, and Nespresso coffee machines.

In the chilly months, light up a roaring fire and take a soak in the deep oval tubs. Like every room, the bathroom features skylights allowing you to admire the stars from the comfort of the warm water. In the warmer seasons, full use can be made of the expansive patio and al fresco dining area. Kick of a smoky barbecue while admiring the sweeping native views surrounded by friends and family.
