The Gellibrand River Store is a must-stop after camping in the Otways—mainly because it’s warm, cosy, and let’s be real, sometimes the Otways are bloody chilly! We always swing by for a coffee to defrost a bit before heading off. It’s got that classic small-town charm, with friendly locals, solid coffee, and some good old-fashioned country hospitality.

If you’re in need of a snack or supplies, they’ve got a little general store inside too. Plus, if you’re road-tripping or camping nearby, it’s a handy spot to fill up on fuel and grab some basics before heading back into the forest.

Not sure if it’s pet-friendly, but it’s definitely camper-friendly, and if you’re craving a warm drink and a chat after a chilly night under the stars, this is the place to be!
