A MAGNIFICENT PRIVATE LAKE
The Woodman Estate is a charming country hotel nestled within fifty acres of rolling pastures and bushland on the edge of a magnificent private lake – the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway within your tailor-made Melbourne, Great Ocean Road & Victoria holidays.
The hotel is set amidst extensive gardens and features a timeless, elegant décor complete with ornate cornices, stained glass windows and antiques. The luxurious rooms and suites are all individually designed and come in three styles.
Garden Rooms feature bushland and garden views, whilst Spa Suites overlook the lake and boast spa baths and mahogany four-poster beds. The stunning Lakeside Chalets are perched on the lake’s edge and offer an expansive outdoor deck in addition to a private lounge, marble ensuite and open fire.
The Woodman’s Restaurant is a true highlight, specialising in modern Australian cuisine and inspired by regional and seasonal produce. You can dine in the Victorian-style dining room or out on the veranda, both of which offer dazzling lake views. Days here can be spent indulging in the region’s wonderful gourmet food and wine, taking strolls in the garden or enjoying some of the outdoor activities on offer such as fly fishing, rowing and tennis.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Outstanding service and real attention to detail throughout. Our holiday exceeded expectations in every way, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with The Ultimate Travel Company again.
