Forrest Guesthouse Forrest Guesthouse - Forrest, Victoria...
A peaceful retreat, and a perfect base for hiking, biking and all things delicious. Each suite is uniquely styled.

The Forrest Guesthouse offers comfortable and relaxed self-contained accommodation. The Lake Elizabeth is our Queen suite, the cosiest of our suites, perfect for singles or couples. The Forrest suite sleeps two and can be set up as twin singles or a King bed. Both the Otways and Barwon can sleep four - two in the main bedroom (either twin singles or a king bed) and the sofa in the lounge can sleep two singles. We are near enough to local attractions, yet private enough if you want a complete escape from the everyday pressures of life. Why not book yourself a meal at the on-site restaurant, Dar Tèta? Enjoy an excellent meal and a drink, right on the doorstep of your accommodation.

Wow! What a cracking few days we had last week. Over 100 species spotted and beaut weather to boot! From scrubby bush at Yaugher, down to coastal beauty on Great Ocean Road, temperate Otway rainforest and lakeside beauty at Colac, the Otway Birds women’s retreat had it all. Led by experienced local birder Adam Fry, the group explored and ticked off lifers, spotted platypus with Otway Eco Tours, were kept nourished by Forrest Bower Bird Cafe, relaxed at Forrest Guesthouse in the evenings. We will be announcing dates for next year soon so pop over to our website and join the mailing list for upcoming tours and retreats. https://www.forrestaccommodation.com.au/upcoming-retreats-and-tours/

How cute are spotted pardalotes?! A friend let me visit their property as they regularly see pardalotes and it was a joy to see them up close. They are stunning! A few spots left on our upcoming women’s birding retreat this October.
