- Paula (10/5): -
- Yelena (7/5): -
- James (10/5): -
- Adam (8/5): - My trip No pool, nothing to do
- Sarah (1/5): - Earwig infested not-so-glamorous glamping tents Sewerage smell Outdated and limited amenities
- Thierry (5/5): We did not realise how isolated the town was from food amenities. - The kids liked sleeping in the same room as us. The fact we couldn't take our caboodle but there were other dogs there, including in the cottages. We had moskitoes inside the tent the whole night. The pub was closed so we had to drive 1/2 hour back for food.
- Jolanta (9/5): Just what was needed for a night away, great reset đ - Everything was user friendly, thoughtful and comfortable. Excellent experience overall. Just what was needed for a night away from the busyness of a city
- Paula (10/5): -
- Simone (10/5): HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and dog friendly AAA+++ - Was in town for the Otway Odyssey and the location was perfect. Lovely modern cabin with everything that I required for my stay. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be returning.
- Urs (8/5): - Gute Lage fĂŒr die Platypus paddel Tour Viele MĂŒcken im Zimmer da TĂŒre nicht dicht schliesst
- Rebecca (8/5): Great pet friendly accomodation on the great ocean road. Peaceful and quiet, would stay again - Loved the pet friendly cabin with its own enclosed yard. The bed was comfy, the cabin had aircon and a small kitchen - everything we needed I wish the shower pressure was a bit better but other than that the cabin was perfect for 2 adults and 2 dogs
- Rowley (8/5): -

- Jan (6/5): - We recently stayed with ant your campsite and I need to give you some feedback. It was our family Christmas get away that we do once a year. Itâs the only time we take off. The cabin was lovely and comfortable and clean. . My son stayed in a glamping tent. This wasnât clean, not vacuumed or furniture wiped. Pretty dusty. There was no heating as the nights were cold or cooling during the day, it was very hot inside the tent. For a basic tent and a bed at $330 per night this was well below value for money. There was nothing glamorous about this offering. Itâs wrongly advertised. I had to use the public bathroom a couple of times and the facilities were filthy. They are clearly NOT being cleaned. It was very short-staffed when we were there. Itâs such a shame because the setting is so beautiful. Public toilets are so vital especially on a camp site to be clean that youâll loose customers because of it

- Mahdieh (7/5): Good đ„° - We had a good cabin with great view. Loved it. However, no wifi. I would recommend it.
- Sitthiphong & Dararat (8/5): Love it - The view was very beautiful in the morning and location was đđ» -
- Lochie (1/5): -
- Jung Eun (3/5): Disappointed experience - The location wasnât great, and for what was offered, the place was way too expensive. I honestly regret my choice. There was no Wi-Fi, and the TV didnât even work â I donât understand why there was a TV in the room at all. Before arriving, I asked the host two questions, but never received any response. Overall, very disappointing for the price.
- Robert (10/5): Decent enough - Location The price is a little high for the size of the cabin. The convection cook top doesnât really work properly.
- Martin (7/5): Eigentlich ein sehr schöner Ort aber ganz einfach viel zu teuer! Das finde ich echt schade! - Wir eine Cabin und ein Zelt. Der Ausblick aus dem Zelt war toll und auch das Bett im Zelt war sehr gemĂŒtlich. Völlig ĂŒberteuert! Ich brauche wirklich keinen Luxus aber bei dem Preis hĂ€tte ich schon erwartet dass die Cabin sauberer ist und die Campinglampen im Zelt funktionieren.
- Zhen (9/5): Get connect with nature - Beautiful place. Bigger general store nearby will be better.
- Andrew (7/5): - Great little town and dog friendly Room wasnât cleaned properly, toilet had marks, previous guests belongings and dishes not cleaned. Kitchen
- Kirankumar (7/5): - Good location, got all the facilities needed for camping. Cleaning at least floor should have been vacuum cleaned
- Hopkins (7/5): -

- Sarah (10/5): Beautiful little holiday park and amazing for your money. No complaints at all with the cabin we stayed in, the area was - The cabin was very clean, bed was comfortable and little things such as coffee, tea, sugar, milk, and shower product were stocked up. Absolutely amazing stay No complaints
- Kristine (10/5): -
- Susan (8/5): -
- Ben (10/5): -
- William (10/5): - I like the cabin it had a little fenced area for the dog to play. The park is situated right in the centre of forrest close to walking trails and mountain bike tracks. Can drive to Apollo Bay takes 40 Min. Cabin is very clean and bed is comfortable had all necessary cooking utensils. Everything was great
- Rogers (7/5): -
- Mary (5/5): -
- Shona (8/5): -
- Martin (9/5): A tranquil location - Lovely quiet location near mountain bike trails It was very muddy around the cabin
- A T Hamilton (7/5): - Booked a glamping tent for a one night stay after cycling from Geelong. It was very nice to sleep under canvas.
- Eugenia Woon Ching (8/5): Simple, convenient, and cozy. - Small yet has everything we need. We were able to park our car just outside the cabin which is very convenient. Also loved the heating as our previous night at another accommodation didnt have sufficient heating and we were freezing overnight. Also loved the fence around the cabin as I can convenient just let my dog out to toilet off the lead. It would be more ideal if the cabin size was slightly bigger and allowed the door to be opened inwards so we can leave our shoes right outside the door. Bathroom could be more comfortable as the sink was very low but the storage cabinet was right above. Really gotta mind your head and bending over the low sink was a bit demanding.
- Michelle (10/5): - I liked that the cabin was easy to access
- Ivonne (2/5): -
- Jay (8/5): -
- Zoe (10/5): Perfect views and accomm for value. Just no heating -
- Owen. E (7/5): -
- Vijay (9/5): Superb -
- Cameron (8/5): Great spot, good views but very old in winter - The view from the glamping tent of the rolling hills It gets very cold in the glamping tent
- Aaron (10/5): Exceptional - Glamping accommodation and amenities were excellent. The shower water pressure was amazing. Kitchen and toilets were spotlessly clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.
- Colin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
- Whispy (10/5): Stunning views, clean and modern facilities, pet friendly and extremely helpful staff - 10/10!! - The park was absolutely beautiful. It was in a fantastic setting and the facilities and cabin amenities were modern, clean, well looked after and you can tell that the owners and/or the persons who care for the facility take pride in their work and strive to maintain the park to a consistent standard. We stayed at the end of May, it was very cold coming into winter, our split system in the cabin kept us adequately warm. The shower had plenty of hot water and the kitchenette facilities were more than enough for our needs. I would also like to compliment the staff - whilst we didn't personally see/interact with any staff during our stay as we were a late check in and a Sunday check out, when I called the day of my arrival to discuss the potential of having to bring my dogs at last minute due to my dogsitter being unavailable at short notice and as one of my dogs was recovering from surgery I was left with no alternative but to bring her. The staff who took my call ensured that this was of no fuss and were more apologetic that the 2-bedroom cabin I had didn't have a yard unlike the single bedroom cabins (I wouldn't have expected a yard anyway!). The staff advised there was a secure fenced off dog run though to let the dogs out as needed and my request was easily accommodated in a matter of minutes by just needing to add on a small additional cleaning fee. The cleaning charge ($25) for having a pet, in my case 2 x large greyhounds was more than reasonable and meant it was actually cheaper to bring my dogs than to have had them looked after by a pet sitter for 2 nights! My kids were thrilled to have their pets come on a family adventure and it gave me peace of mind. Theres nothing that I didn't like about our stay, honestly it was such a positive experience I really will be intentional about coming back again as I enjoyed it that much. I travel reasonably frequently in Victoria and Interstate for events on the weekend and often stay in motels, hotels, parks and B &B's etc. I never leave recommendations or feedback usually, but my experience was so positive that I wanted to be intentional in highlighting that my positive experience has been a standout amongst all of the stays I have had elsewhere. Even though we stayed to Forrest for a fun run at Apollo Bay on that weekend and weren't really at our cabin for long during the day, I would like to come back to stay at the park and explore the nearby area and enjoy the surroundings and definitely bring my 2 x hounds along for the trip again!
- Alison (9/5): Superb -
- Priya (3/5): Poor - Location AC not working
- Brandon (7/5): Lovely holiday park in a very serene location with comfortable and tastefully renovated cabins. - Beautiful holiday park. Very relaxing location and overall the room was comfortable. The renovated cabin we stayed in was quite nice. Mountain Bike Hire store and plenty of mountain bike tracks very close to the holiday park. Dishwashing liquid was bad, must be a cheap brand. When we arrived the cutlery and other kitchenware all seemed to have a greasy film due to not being washed properly due to the poor quality dishwashing liquid. It did not sudds properly which made it difficult to clean our dishes before leaving. Especially things that were a bit greasy like the frying pan we used to cook bacon. Please provide a better quality dishwashing liquid. We were only provided with one tea towel. Considering our room did not have a dish drying rack we really needed at least two tea towels, especially with the cold weather and things not being able to dry quickly. No salt or pepper sachets provided which usually comes standard in most accommodation. Some olive oil could be a useful addition to help with cooking.
- Kennosuke (7/5): A beautiful tent with a fabulous view in the morning - We stayed in the glamping tent, and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the view in the morning. When the sun came out through the fog, it was magical and beautiful. We were not able to use the fire pit, which was a little disappointing.
- Ana (6/5): Pleasant -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (6/5): Fine stay in little cabin - Location was fine as we were attending a wedding nearby Although the cabin was cute and had everything we required, it was not as described on Booking.com. According to the description we had booked a cottage with ''separate bedroom'', bathroom and living area. In fact it was a small, open plan space with bedroom and table and 2 chairs and kitchenette (and separate small bathroom). Bed was comfy!
- Alannah (9/5): Amazing, safe, clean camping trip - The most amazing little getaway with my family. We arrived for late check-in and realise that we didnât have a fire pit as you had to organise it If you had early arrival the owner came straight away and drop one off for us which was above and beyond. Our tent was beautiful and big. It had two single beds and a double bed. The beds were extremely comfortable it was raining and very cold outside but it felt like in the tent that it was warm and didnât even notice the rain outside. It felt like a really safe environment. I brought very little equipment as it was all provided for us which made it a very easy camping holiday. Thank you so much for having us.

- Fearns (8/5): Very good - Practical, clean and affordable. TV wasnât connected to an aerial
- Mike (6/5): Pleasant - Location. Friendly bunch Not the fault of the place. Tuesday is not a good day to visit out of season as Forrest amenities are mostly closed. Instructions for the hob would have helped. Whilst did not use it it appeared the TV did not work.
- Asia (10/5): Exceptional - It was extremely clean and a very modern, beautiful property. All the necessities that youâd need were in the property including kitchenware and a stocked up bathroom. The host was amazing and extremely helpful. The location is great if you like hikes and nature. Nothing.
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashok (10/5): Exceptional -

- Erica& (8/5): Very good -
- Jessica (6/5): Pleasant -
- Chenhao (10/5): Very good but can be improved - We have 5 adults and booked 2 tents. The view at night is fantastic. Stars clear and the sky is beautiful. Facilities were great and there was even a laundromat where you can wash your clothes. Staffs were friendly and check-in was smooth. If you staying at tent itâs little bit cold at night. And there is solar power in tents so it depends on the sunlight during the day, thought it would be better if stayed in cabins.
- Rebecca (8/5): We really enjoyed our first trip to Forrest and will definitely return - Lovely furnishings in cabin and seems very clean and new, everything we could need Awaiting some more landscaping out the front possibly, seems unfinished and a pool for the kids or more kids activities on site would be nice
- Zac (7/5): overall very nice one we dealt with the bugs - good location and nice area, glamping set up was nice too many bugs inside our glamping tent, couldâve used a bug bomb or something before our arrival
