My husband and I stayed at Forrest for 4 nights / 5 days at Forrest Guest House. We rented the Lake Elizabeth Suite, it's a cosy 1 bedroom fully functional with basic ammenities included. We loved staying there, it is the perfect getaway if you're looking for a retreat location - Forrest Guesthouse is a hidden gem!
The accomodation is quite central to the area, it is closed to the main trails and attractions in Forrest (ie: The general store, forest trails, bike trails, brewery, Dar Teta..etc). The best features of this accomodation are the butterflies and the birds in the morning, you are surrounded by beautiful lush greens and you wake up to the sound of nature.
During the day you can easily travel to other areas around Forrest (ie: Anglesea, Torquay, Lorne, Apollo Bay etc..) Then come back at night time to a beautiful accomodation under the stars and light up the fire pit with a glass of wine.
Michelle is an excellent host, easy to communicate via emails and text message. She puts a lot of care and detail in the accomodation room (ie: theres a file that tells you what to do in the area and around, coffee and tea in the room, the clean towels, the frame on the wall representing the name of the room & the trail location in the area... etc)
Overall, my husband and I had a delightful time in Forrest and we would highly recommend this place!
