"This is not worth the cost. It is basically a farm stay surrounded by introduced trees with the faint smell of cow dung and the sound of gun shots. It may be near beautiful native trees of the Otways, but they are not accessible. The property map provided is out of date and access to the waterfalls hasn't been maintained. Be prepared for long arduous walks and rock climbing to access them. We stayed for a week on daily rates but had no top up of supplies. We had to supply our own soap, bin...

When is the most affordable time to visit Forrest?

During these periods, you're more likely to find better deals on accommodation and potentially fewer crowds, leading to a more relaxed and cost-effective trip.

Solo travellers will appreciate the quieter trails and roads during these times, making it easier to secure cheaper guesthouses or cabins. Many local businesses, like cafes and small shops, also maintain regular hours, offering a chance to experience the local charm without peak season prices.

For couples, autumn offers stunning foliage, while spring brings wildflowers, creating picturesque settings for walks or cycling without the premium prices associated with summer.

What free activities should we do in Forrest?
