Let’s get back to nature. Into the deep.
Find solace in the solitude. This is our story.
From working in the music industry to planting trees, music and nature have always been of equal importance to the collective values of Sky Pods founders Maxwell and Lisa.
While for many city dwellers, making the move from inner-city Melbourne to the remoteness of Cape Otway may seem like a culture shock, for this adventurous duo, self-sufficiency, fresh air and living off the land simply made sense. In fact, it was always the plan. Whether playing music, kissing the sky or cooking up a storm, Maxwell and Lisa look forward to welcoming you in sharing their little slice of paradise.
Gadubanud Country. Located at the southern tip of Victoria’s wild and rugged Western Coast is Cape Otway, home of the Gadabanud people, an Indigenous Australian population whose territory once encompassed the rainforest plateau and rugged coastline of the Cape. Vestiges of their gathering places are contained in middens throughout the region, adding to its rich historical and cultural history.
Here, the Southern Ocean, comprising the entire body of water between Australia and Antarctica, collides with the Bass Strait - the conduit between the Australian mainland and Tasmania. Bordered by lush rainforest and bodies of glistening waterways, nature lovers and hikers alike will revel in the abundant outdoor offerings this sacred land provides.
Sky Pods/Sky Ships are located on a private, secluded property, just 800 metres from the sandy dunes of Station Beach. Accessible only via a handful of walking tracks, Station beach and its surrounding areas remain largely unpopulated and unscathed, providing travellers with a peaceful and often private experience of the breathtaking coastline.
The Mother Tree who gives nutrients and life to the young manna gums we have planted at her base.
Here in Cape Otway, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of Southwest Victoria, the Eastern Maar. We pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging, whose ancestors, for centuries, have performed ceremonies of celebration and renewal on this land.
We acknowledge their culture and their unique role in this country.
Always was, always will be.
