The Forest Lodge is probably most magical and tranquil holiday home we’ve ever stayed in.
The yurt style house looks out over the most stunning vista of private forest.
The moment we set foot inside we felt instantly relaxed and at peace.
Waking up here was like waking up in a tree house of your childhood dreams.
The house itself is very well equipped as a holiday home with a well designed kitchen for cooking your own meals, lots of amenities and thoughtful touches (like a good sound system, books, board games and dvds), cozy stylish Eames chairs and a lovely comfortable bed with amazing treetop views.
Even on a rainy day, it was a delightful escape to just read a book and listen to the birds.
Not to mention it is pet friendly so our puppy loved it too.
The location in the Otway hinterland is just down the road from wineries, berry farms and the general store and just a 20 minute drive to Lorne and the beaches of the Great Ocean Road. You’ll probably find — as we did — that the hardest part is leaving the Forest Lodge at all.
Caroline was an excellent host — easy to communicate with, easy self check in, clear instructions and local tips. She also arranged to return a list necklace we left behind.
A perfect getaway all year round!
We can’t wait to come back.
