Right in the centre of everything but feels like a world away!

If you love nature, Forrest Guesthouse is your perfect base for exploring the Otway Ranges. We are based between the two mountain bike trail heads, while being a 10 min drive from Lake Elizabeth where you can enjoy a platypus tour by kayak! Waterfalls and hiking trails abound. Half an hour and you are on the Great Ocean Rd!

In town, you are a few hundred metres from the Forrest General Store and Forrest Brewery, plus the onsite restaurant Dar Tèta which opened in October 2021.

A traditional Guesthouse with long verandahs, rambling gardens and boutique décor, Forrest Guesthouse is all about getting away to the country. Spend the day exploring the rainforest and Great Ocean Road, then come back and relax by the fire pit.

The rambling garden overflows with fruit and nut trees, vines and a working veggie patch. Meander through the garden exploring, or just grab a book and relax under a tree.

Our suites are each uniquely styled and have everything you need for your Otways experience. Our extensive guidebooks contain more things to do than you can possibly complete in one trip – you’ll find yourself returning for more!

Full refunds for any bookings which cannot go ahead due to COVID-19 changes affecting travel.
