Coral Fern Retreat - bush paradise (free wifi)

Coral Fern Retreat is a unique mudbrick home located in a quiet part of the mountain township of Forrest nestled in a tree-ferned gully. The retreat is inviting with a beautiful, peaceful and restful atmosphere featuring old recycled timbers that give it a rustic feel.

It is a comfortable house with a spacious open planned kitchen/dining room and a sunken lounge room with a loft floor above. There are 3 unique and charmingly decorated bedrooms, 2 with queen-sized beds, 1 double and a queen sofa bed in the loft.

The timber kitchen is well equipped and contains a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and a coffee machine with any number of pots, pans and utensils to enable the preparation of gourmet meals for avid foodies.

Relax in the cosy lounge with enticing vistas out into the garden. There is a TV, DVD's, books and a grand piano for any pianists and a Bluetooth compatible stereo. The woodheater is perfect to unwind in front of on cold winter days.

The bathroom has a freestanding cast iron bath to soak away your troubles in, along with a shower, ceiling fitted heat lamp and towel drying rails. The laundry provides a frontloader washing machine and dryer along with a trough and toilet.

With views into the surrounding bush, the outdoor deck is ideal for enjoying meals and entertaining. A Weber is provided for BBQ's along with shade umbrellas for comfort on hot days.

The rambling garden is a mixture of exotics and natives with private areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Kangaroos regularly make their morning hop through the backyard and the occasional Koala can be spotted. Night time residents include the cute Ring-Tailed and Brush-Tailed Possums.

A feature of the Coral Fern Retreat is the abundance of birdlife that inhabit the bushland along the creek, the dawn call is an absolute highlight and the beautiful call of the Golden Whistler, Blue Wrens, Yellow Robins, King Parrots and the many Honeyeaters make for a bird watchers paradise.

The township of Forrest and the surrounding area has much to offer visitors with the boutique craft beer Brewery and Restaurant, Jewellery Shop and Bric a Brac shop, all within a short walk. The town is a hub for mountain bikers with many riding trails that cater for all abilities and beautiful walking tracks. Lake Elizabeth is a short drive where Platypus tours are offered and the majestic Stevensons Falls are nearby.

A 30 minute drive through lush cool temperate rainforest and you arrive at the best beaches that the world has to offer along the Great Ocean Road. Beach towels, bag and beach umbrella are provided during those warm summer months. The world class Brae Restaurant near the historic township of Birregurra and the renown Chris's Restaurant near Skenes Creek are a must!

For a place to take a break that is ideal for artists, writers, musicians or thinkers looking to feel inspired, or for those who love to feel close and connect with nature you have found the ideal, magical place.

Absolutely stunning! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the house and it's surroundings. The house itself has a unique charm, is spacious, very beautifully decorated, quality linen and comfortable beds. The house has everything you could ask for. The garden is beautiful and very well maintained. Overlooking the enormous ferns from the window was my favourite spot in the house. Close to the General store and Brewery. Stevenson Falls is only about a 10min drive and well worth a look. The falls are gorgeous, so is the drive. Barb and Greg were incredible hosts. They went well out of their way to make sure we were catered to and well looked after. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. We will most definitely be back. Thanks so much for having us!

The large 4 bedroom bush retreat property is set in a large block with mature plants and flowering shrubs surrounded by birds and rabbits ( sometimes kangaroos) Bird nerd and gardener paradise. Fairy Wrens, Spinebills, Satin Bower Birds, Kookaburras and Butcher birds are some of the visitors. There is a little brook at the edge of the property, not really accessible but beware if kids will investigate. Peace and quiet is almost guaranteed; lots of space and comfy beds and sofas to relax on and watch the birds, read or watch a dvd. Bedroom 4 is on the mezzanine above the lounge and not totally private which may not suite everyone, but ok for us 4 mates. The Grand piano was unfortunately not utilised by us - so bring a Bluetooth speaker along if you’re musically challenged too. The kitchen and bathroom are well- supplied. Forrest General Store is a short walk open most days for coffee, snacks and fantastic bread. The Forrest Brewery is at the top of Turner Rd, but was closed whilst we were there for holidays Usually we go there. Beware The Terminus pub which is the only other pub option- it is almost “the pub with no beer” and an hour wait for not great food. Explore the Otways We highly recommend Otway Eco Tours - we saw a lot of platypus thanks to Max. Also totally loved our Otway E Bikes tour with Nathan very knowledgeable about the history, fauna and flora of the area. Loved our Stayz accommodation right in the heart of the Otways

This property was beautiful and had everything we needed! The bed was super comfy, the bird life was superb and my partner loved playing your grand piano! In over 20 years of staying at self contained properties, yours by far has to be the best we have stayed in! We are looking forward to coming back when it is warmer in Forrest! Thanks so much Barb and Greg! :-)

Coral Fern Retreat is the most beautiful property, the minute you walk through the front door, you feel so welcome. The whole house leaves you wanting for nothing, even with a family of eight. Our grandchildren adored playing on the swing and in the cubby house. Taking in the amazing construction and quality of the mud rock home was also such a privilege. Thank you so much Barb and Greg for sharing your beautifully appointed home with us.

We had a wonderful time at Coral Fern Retreat. There is so much beauty in the house and gardens. We loved tinkering on the piano and playing in the cubby house. The stunning mud brick design kept us cool despite it being a hot weekend. Barb is a kind and attentive host, and we were very grateful for the delicious chocolates and sparkling wine on arrival!

A beautifully presented and well equipped property. The kitchen and laundry equipment easily enable self-catering and clothes washing if needed. The large living space and comfortable furniture make for a very pleasant and relaxing base from which to explore the Otway National Parks. The peaceful setting, expansive and well maintained garden, and nearby forest also allow for an enjoyable time when not out exploring. Barb and Greg are excellent hosts. Highly recommended.

We totally LOVED our stay at Coral Fern Retreat. It is paradise. The house is magnificent; it feels so solid and welcoming with everything being beautifully furnished and decorated, plus super comfortable beds and all the equipment we could possibly need. The garden and the backdrop of bush really charmed our hearts. We totally relaxed! Barb and Greg are top hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed the added bonus of contact with them. Additionally, the town of Forrest is ideal - small and with the great offerings of the Brewery, Da Teta (Middle-Eastern) restaurant, the cafe/general store, bike hire and many local walks. We very much hope to come back. Thank you Barb and Greg :)

Coral Fern Retreat is a beautiful home in gorgeous, loved, bush forest garden. We loved our stay and would've gladly stayed longer had we had more time - we'll definitely be coming back! And Barb is just the easiest and friendliest hostess-with-the-mostest to communicate with. 10/10 from us!! Ian & Yvonne

It’s rare that a holiday rental surpasses expectations, but this one sure did. Coral Fern is the perfect tranquil retreat from which to explore the magnificent Otways. Everything has been thought of here—the home is immaculately presented with oodles of character, the gardens are exquisite, and if we needed anything (which we didn’t) Barb was only a phone call away. We loved every minute and we’ll definitely return.
