Timber-mill worker's cottage in the Otways town of Forrest | House in Forrest
2 Bedroom House in Forrest
Our rustic home in the town of Forrest is a wonderful place to stay whether you are exploring the Otways, the Great Ocean Road, having dinner at Brae, or just spending a weekend discovering Forrest's mountain bike trails and brewery.
Our home is comfortable and cosy. We stay there ourselves as often as we can, but it is a small and pretty basic house, so if you are expecting 4 or 5-star accommodation, it will not be for you!
Forrest is a relatively remote town, so stock up on any food or condiments that you think you will need for your stay. Our kitchen is fully equipped, so you shouldn't have a problem once you are here. You should expect to bring anything you would bring for a camping holiday. Forrest is a remote town, with limited supplies available at the General Store.
Forrest and the house get cold in the winter months. We have a couple of oil heaters and a wood heater, but pockets of the house can still get cold, so pack accordingly. If you are planning to use the wood heater, bring your own supply of firewood, kindling, and fire lighters. Note that the main fireplace has been sealed and cannot be used.
The bathroom is neat but basic, with a shower over a bath, but the water is hot and runs well.
Please be aware that we have several security cameras on the outside of the house. There are no cameras inside.
Forrest is a pretty remote town, with the nearest supermarkets and fuel in the town of Colac, about a 30 minute drive away.
We provide limited supplies that may cover you if you forget anything, however the things you should plan to bring include, food, drink, and condiments, including milk, tea, and coffee, insect repellent, sunscreen, a few bags of firewood and kindling, fire starters, lighters, if you plan to use the wood heater. It would also be a good idea to pack some xtra blankets if you are visiting in winter, and to have a full tank of fuel in your car.
We provide quilts, bed linen and towels, and our kitchen has all the utensils and amenities you would need to prepare and cook meals for an extended stay, including an oven, kettle, toaster, fridge, and coffee machine.
Although our old house can get drafting, the wood heater and the oil heaters spread throughout the house do a good job of keeping most rooms warm. Some of the beds have electric blankets as well. Cooling is limited to electric fans. The house also has a washing machine and dryer, and shower water pressure is good, and the water, hot.
Internet is provided through NBN fixed wireless and is fast and reliable enough for remote working.
If you are heading down in an electric car and plan to use our power to charge it, please let us know before you do. We don't make much money out of our short stay let once we've covered out costs, so I'm sure you'll understand the need for us to add a nightly charge of $20 to your booking if that's what you plan to do.
