Only one fault and not a big one was the amount of dead flies on the floor when we arrived and the rear door mat had disintegrated into soil and was getting trodden through the house FYI.
Had a fantastic time in your beautiful house and would highly recommend it thank you

What a beautiful property! We had such a relaxing time! The house is surrounded by trees, there were stunning roses in the garden and we even had a koala come to visit! It is a short walk to the delicious brewery and chocolate cafe. Lake Elizabeth is close by and absolutely stunning. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed our stay enormously. Forrest Otway Escape is a comfortable stay, in a wonderful small village. We enjoyed hot showers, very comfy beds, great open fire, and a lovely garden to play in. Our dog loved it too. Lake Elizabeth a real hidden gem.

Beautiful property, we would thoroughly recommend. There was ample space for our family of six. The property was spotlessly clean and tidy with everything and more you could possibly need. There were so many different games and movies and toys for the children to keep themselves buy with. The garden was a treasure, in the night we listened to the sounds of a koala in one of the trees!
The location of the property is ideal for those looking for a very quiet and peaceful bolthole. The local cafe, shop and brewery were all excellent and had very friendly and welcoming staff. The surrounding forests and bush walks were beautiful, our favourite Lake Elizabeth.
We shall definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you!

Huge spaces/ comfortable beds and a lovely deep bath all helped us have a wonderful weekend away. Forrest is a great area to explore and the bric a brac shop is well worth a visit.

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I would definitely be back again! The property is spacious, clean and extremely comfortable (it even has two bathrooms with a shower in each). Gorgeous kitchen, selection of DVDs, awesome Coonara heater plus split system. The little touches were also appreciated... spare hairdryer, bathroom toiletries, pantry basics etc. so not a worry if you were to forget something! During our stay a Kookaburra came to visit us in the backyard and there are lots of parrots around too. The home is a one minute walk to the Forrest Brewery and General Store... well located yet you feel as though you are away from it all. And Attalia the host is wonderful to deal with. Would highly recommend this place for an Otway getaway!
