Fauna Australia Wildlife Retreat

I was looking for an animal conservation center along GOR where the kids can see the koalas, wallabies etc up close. Glad I found the place! Not only we get an accommodation for the night, but we also had the opportunity the feed, pat and observe the animals up-close. I highly recommend staying in the Wombat Cottage which is the only one inside the enclosure. Friendly wallabies and deer right at our cottage porch walking around freely. They also provided a bag of carrots so we can feed the animals and a a torchlight for you to see the nocturnal animals at night. The cottage cabin was also well-furnished, clean and comfortable, and the kitchen have all the items where you can cook and also prepare your meal. Be sure to bring your groceries if you plan to do so as it's quite a drive to nearest grocery store. Kristen and her daughter were very accommodating and arranged the session with the koalas upon our arrival as we plan to leave early the following day. The family definitely loved what they do thank you for sharing the animals with us. My kids truly loved the experience!! We only booked for one night as our scheduled is already packed as it is. If you plan to explore the Great Otways, this place can be your based and booked for 2 or more nights. It's like 5 mins away from Melba Gully and other attractions. At night, it can be very cold as it's in a middle of the rainforest but it's part of the experience. I've told my friends about the place and they are truly amazed. Some already put it in their list of place to stay. I definitely will come here again.
