Retro Retreat
1. Retro Retreat
12km from Lorne · 1 site · Lodging
Welcome to The Retro Retreat, a charming self-contained holiday house located in the heart of Forrest. Its central location makes it ideal for a weekend getaway, with the Forrest Brewery & General Store just a short stroll away and the newly revamped Southern MTB Trailhead only 100 meters from your doorstep.
Our property features a fully fenced yard, making it perfect for guests with dogs.
Enjoy a variety of local activities, no matter the weather. Take a bushwalk around Lake Elizabeth and try to spot platypus, or stroll up to the Barwon Dam to soak in the serene forest atmosphere. Stevensons Falls, recently renovated, offers a picturesque spot for a picnic. Alternatively, unwind on the deck or in front of the fire with a good book.
The Retro Retreat boasts a spacious interior with a distinct retro theme. The house includes two bedrooms, a dining room, a lounge room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. A large balcony runs along the back of the house, featuring comfortable lounge seating and a gas BBQ. An outdoor bath allows you to enjoy the night sky while listening to the sounds of nature.
The deck overlooks a large backyard that extends to the hills and dam. Relax on the refurbished lounge in the Balinese gazebo, where you can watch ducks wander by and listen to native birds nesting in the trees. A fire pit and seating area make for enjoyable nights outdoors when the weather permits. Please note, the fire pit is not available during summer or when fire bans are in place.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire house. We provide doonas, pillows, hand towels, and tea towels. Please let us know how many beds you require so we can prepare them accordingly.
We are dog-friendly, and with the fully fenced yard, you can bring your pet along for the holiday! Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring your pet.
Forrest has limited food supplies, so we recommend coming prepared. However, you can purchase delicious home-cooked food from the General Store or enjoy a meal at the Brewery (open Thurs-Mon).
We are open to discussing late checkout arrangements, particularly for midweek bookings. Additional guests are welcome at an extra cost of $30 per night per guest.
