LOCATION & GETTING HERE
Jareseben is situated just at the foot of the Otways National Park, a lush rainforest multi-dimensional habitat effortlessly connects itself to coastal country, before making it’s way to one of the most countries most renown surf coasts. We are located in Bellbrae West (officially), off the Great Ocean Road, down Gundrys Road to the corner of Vickerys. Make your way across meandering hills down Gundrys Road - very mindful of the kangaroos who reside here and cross frequently, take a right in the road down a dip onto Vickerys and we’re on the left. Our very friendly kelpie-cross Eddie will guide you into the property at slow walking pace, part of his ground-work for the day.
We are a 10-acre property, surrounded by natural bush, indigenous trees and plants including manna gums, swamp gums, black wattle and blackwood. Home to several glorious chanting kookaburras & regular visits from passing kangaroos as well as night visits from possums, we border a very rare snow gum reserve representative of the rich quality and fauna of a low gully. Spring Creek runs through our north-eastern border and a shallow billabong runs along our southern boundary, nestling us close to the natural beauties of the bush.
