Family-friendly vacation rentals in Forrest

Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

love love loved the place nice and easy to find, clean and homely. Thanks so much for a great place to call home while we were away from ours.

Excellent place to stay. Easy walk into town. The house looked even better in person. Glenys was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. There was even a beautiful welcome gift and Easter eggs for the kids. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Pauline’s property in Apollo Bay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The property is beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the surrounding nature that made every morning special. The interior is cozy yet modern, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for us — peaceful and chill! Coming back to such a serene retreat was the perfect way to unwind after a great day out exploring Apollo Bay. Pauline was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local tips. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm hospitality. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we would highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful place, The hosts were really friendly and very helpful. Even gave us fererro roches and fresh fruit. Offered us late checkout too ! Really kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure and 100% would recommend this beautiful spot.

We had a great stay at this lovely house! The house was spotless, well-furnished , had comfortable beds and was well-stocked and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Situated in a peaceful location, it is an easy stroll to beach and local shops. Dariusz is a great host providing an informative “Welcome pack” a few days prior to our stay. We would definitely love to stay again when we visit Apollo Bay next time.

One of the best stays we’ve ever had! The views are so amazing, the villa is spacious, communication with the host was very easy We will definitely be coming again! Thank you for a beautiful stay

John’s place was perfect. Beautiful inside and the most peaceful, stunning view to simply sit and look out on. The home has everything we would ever need, is super close to cafes and dinner spots and is clean and comfortable. John is a wonderful host, there if you need him with a smile and chat, incredible local information and respectful privacy. We will definitely be back!

Joanne's place was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Very helpful and even lit the fire for us before arrival. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Had a great stay here. Clean, quiet, and perfect for just kicking back and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

Deb & Pete we're great hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay in their well set up apartment that worked well for us for the 3 nights we stayed. Highly recommend staying here and we would certainly en joy staying here again.

Perfect place for a family get away, walking distance to beach and close to all amenities.

We loved our stay at Wye River. Great place to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday with our children and grandchildren. Even though it was mid winter, we were able to keep warm. The power failed in the area, but having the log fire we were still able to enjoy the view and lovely bush setting in comfort. The house is relatively new, and I believe it would have been a very expensive build, and recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of luxury for a group gathering. Thankyou Jack.

We loved our stay here. Such a beautiful view from the deck and bedroom. Laying in bed listening to the waves was perfect. Even though we had a very cold weekend and lost power one day the house stayed warm with the wood fire. Beds were very comfortable and warm. everything you could think you needed was provided. Easy walk to the Wye River store and cafe. Would love to come back in summer and be able to relax on the deck watching the ocean.

Great place

We had an enjoyable and comfortable stay, with all the amenities as described. The surroundings were peaceful and the wood heater made for a cosy winter retreat. Thanks again Libby.

Jane is firstly an incredibly generous and responsive host. She was super flexible and reasonable to a request we had, and also checked in with us to make sure that that we were able to check into the house. The house itself is amazing. We enjoyed the pool and the massive kitchen. There is plenty of entertainment including table tennis, pool toys and floaties, a theatre room and games just to name a few. The house is beautiful, clean, spacious and well located. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing two-night stay at Glen View as a stopover during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey on the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a truly beautiful section of the GOR where rolling green hills and farmlands meet the ocean. The cottage is delightfully laid out and well provisioned, with quality bedding and toiletries, a lovely fire-place and a shed full of wood (and reverse cycle a/c for the summer months and the impatient!) A visit to the chicken shed to collect farm fresh eggs and the orchard for some lemons was a nice treat for us suburbanites! The kitchen is fully functional with pretty much all equipment you could need, including a coffee machine. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

Great cottage in a peaceful area. Great spa bath. Loved the alpacas. Anglesea and Torquay within short distance. Make sure you book the restaurants with anticipation cause they all get booked out particularly on weekends. It was in general an enjoyable stay.

We had a great long weekend away at Chris’ property. The house had plenty of space for us all with amazing views despite the wet weather of the weekend. We were kept warm and dry with the wood fire and heaters in all bedrooms. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Mario as a host was very welcoming, accomodation, and understanding. However, I’ll leave the management real estate agent up to you to decide. One of a few places in Lorne who allow pets. A rare find. Thanks Mario.

A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

Great stay for the price!

We had a truly memorable stay at this beautiful farmhouse. From the moment we arrived, the owner was incredibly responsive and attentive, regularly checking in to ensure that everything was in order and that we were comfortable. This level of hospitality made us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. The house itself is stunning—set in a serene farm environment that offers both relaxation and a unique countryside experience. Our children especially enjoyed the opportunity to interact with and feed the farm animals, which added a special and memorable touch to the trip. Inside, the home is tastefully designed with a modern yet warm aesthetic. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and the house is extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need—from kitchen essentials to comfortable furnishings. It felt like a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This stay exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend it to families!
