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.
AS A GUIDE, YOU SHOULD BRING:
- Food, drink, and condiments, including milk, tea, and coffee.
- Insect repellent, sunscreen.
- Firewood, kindling, fire starters, lighters, if you plan to use the wood heater.
- Extra blankets if you are visiting in winter.
- A full tank of fuel in your car.
WHAT WE PROVIDE:
- Quilts, bed linen and towels.
- Our kitchen has all the utensils and amenities you would need to cook/ prepare meals for an extended stay, including an oven, kettle, toaster, fridge, and coffee machine.
- Basic heating and cooling: we have some electric heaters, electric blankets on most beds, and some fans.
- Internet, fast and reliable enough for remote working.
- Hot shower/ hot water.
- Internet connected TV.
- Washing machine and dryer.

Summary: A well-equipped small house within walking distance of the town (brewery and general store). Short drive to many lovely walks and bike trails. Great fireplace in kitchen (but not working in TV room). Quite cold in the back of the house (eg bathroom). Would be a plus to not have to bring sheets, towels etc but that was well communicated. Overall a comfortable stay.
