It offers 4 spacious bedrooms (including 2 King beds housed in separate quarters), a log fire, 2 split systems, a bar and alfresco living; including a large elevated sunset deck; a garden Tea House/Meditation room and an eco Bath House.

Big enough for two, the bespoke bath is encased in bamboo with it's lid embellished by a medallion depicting mermaids and fish, hand-made by artisans in Haiti from recycled oil drums. It is Heather's favourite "sit-spot". In the "hot tub" you can meditate, use eucalyptus oil, even have a glass of champagne, lay back and inhale the aromas of the forest and just be in the moment. A perfect way to engage all your senses. For those seeking a deeper connection with nature there is a kilometre rainforest walking circuit on the property.

Tranquil stay

My friends and I had the most wonderful time at Qii. The fireplace, the gorgeous style, and the goodies for each guest were just a few of our favourite things. Heather was a lovely host, who showered us with wine and goodies! The sunset each night was spectacular, with the option to view through a telescope! We especially loved the walk around the property, which is secluded and magical. I’ve not stopped talking about the place, and now have to bring everyone I know! Thank you Heather, for sharing your beautiful ECO lodge with us.

Heaven on Earth.

It was nice to be tech free and reconnect with nature. If you’re staying in the colder climates then a tip to sleep upstairs as heat rises and it was certainly cosy up there. My only regret is not staying longer. This is the perfect sanctuary to disconnect from all tech and be with loved ones or be one with yourself. Heather is a wonderful person and excellent host. Highly recommend

One word - Awesome

An awesome place to just relax and enjoy everything around you. So much to do around you thay you do not need to leave. We were two families and enjoyed our stay at Qii house. Everything was as described. Heather was great and excellent communication. We enjoyed the walks around and sitting on the deck listening and watching all the wildlife around us. We took the short drive to Erskine falls as well as out to the beach. It's the best of both worlds. Definitely recommend and we will be back too.

A beautiful lovingly managed garden

A wonderful and unique home away from home - with every aspect of the house, garden and paths carefully thought through and creatively delivered by Heather. She should be rightfully very proud of her Q2 creation as a beautiful place for friends and families to enjoy nature and all the Otways has to offer. Very generous and appreciated hamper and assortment of lovely bathroom things. A few suggestions: (i) more emphasis on biodiversity conservation and planting of natives in the garden to raise awareness and enjoyment; (ii) perhaps a bit less emphasis on the wellness theme - many will benefit from the direct connection with nature without the wellness guidance. Overall and fantastic place. Many thanks Heather - wish we could have had an opportunity for a longer chat and exchange. With best wishes, Jeremy

LOVED IT! Like nothing I've ever experienced before.

WOW - this is the most unique home I have ever stayed in. Loved the forest setting, the nature walks around the home, the huge deck with the pizza oven and the hot outdoor shower. My favourite place was the outdoor bathhouse - so relaxing. I had such a good weekend here with my seven friends, and a big thank you to Heather for the gourmet hamper/wine on arrival. Loved every minute and will be recommending this stay to everyone I know.

This house was in a fantastic spot and was a great size for our stay. Really enjoyed staying at the property. The view is incredible and there is plenty of space for a big family to sleep and hang out. The most surprising part is the outdoor bath and spa in cold weather;) Heather was a loving, artistic and responsible host who is always available. Highly recommend this property, especially in the warmer months.
