About this property
Forrest River Valley - a cosy self contained studio
. With floor to ceiling windows and spacious deck you can enjoy the spectacular valley views across our rural property to the Otway National Park.
The Studio has a microwave, fridge, toaster and sandwich maker but no cooking facilities. Tea /coffee facilities are provided for your convenience.
Forrest River Valley is just a short distance from Forrest where you can enjoy a tasty meal and craft beer at the Forrest Brewery, visit the Forrest General Store and sample their yummy range of home made goodies or just get your morning coffee hit.
Bring your mountain bike and check out the first class trails around Forrest; visit Lake Elizabeth and hopefully spot a shy Platypus ; enjoy a leisurely walk to the West Barwon Dam ; take a short drive to Stevenson’s Falls and see on of the spectacular falls the Otways National Park are renowned for.

Beautiful room and beautiful scenery.
The peaceful location, not far from Forrest township, was a beautiful place to stay. The views from the room, overlooking the river valley were lovely. Many birds and even a koala could be seen from our room. The room was well appointed and a generous breakfast hamper provided. Thankyou!!
