PennyroyalPennyroyal: A Peaceful Hinterland Escape in Victoria’s Otways Region
Tucked into the gentle hills behind Lorne and the Great Ocean Road, Pennyroyal is a quiet rural hideaway in the heart of Victoria’s Otways. Known for its rolling farmland, cool-climate forests, and boutique retreats, Pennyroyal offers a slower pace of life surrounded by natural beauty. Just a short drive from the surf beaches of the coast and the waterfalls of the Otway National Park, this tranquil pocket is ideal for couples, creatives, and nature lovers in search of solitude and inspiration.
Why Visit Pennyroyal?
Pennyroyal is perfect for travellers wanting to disconnect from city life and immerse themselves in the rhythms of the countryside. With sweeping valley views, boutique vineyards, and cozy farm-style accommodations, the area offers a refined, back-to-nature experience. It’s the kind of place where mornings begin with mist over the paddocks and end with starlit skies. And with Lorne just 20 minutes away, the coast is always within reach.
