Thanks to the Dufflebird team for a great stay! Steam is comfortable and homely, with creature comforts like electric blankets and heaters in addition to the well stocked woodfire heater. The kitchen has basic appliances and tools/cutlery, so we didn't have to bust out our camp kitchen at all. There are plenty of places to relax, with outdoor hammocks and seating when the weather is good, plus three sleeping carriages and a communal lounge area indoor. The beds are super comfortable and highly recommend an outdoor shower and bath - the privacy curtain makes the deck feel secluded and safe. There were great walks nearby, and plenty of opportunities to get to know the local livestock - alpacas for days!
Though we didn't take our dog, the stay (and the local brewery) is dog friendly if you keep them tethered - the property is lightly but clearly fenced, and plenty of space to run about.
Important to note that many of the restaurants in Forrest and nearby towns do not open on Mondays or Tuesdays, so bring your own food for these nights, hit up the local general store during the day or head out to Colac for dinner then, and there is no petrol station in Forrest.
This makes the stay truly relaxing and forces you to take time out and just rest.
Thanks again to the whole team, truly a delightful visit that I highly recommend.
