The Retro Retreat is a self-contained holiday house in the heart of Forrest. 
The location is a short stroll to the Forrest Brewery & General Store and very close to the newly revamped Southern MTB Trailhead.
There are so many local activities to enjoy in all weather conditions. Bushwalk around Lake Elizabeth and try to spot platypus, stroll up to the Barwon Dam and soak in the sights and sounds of the forest. Stevensons Falls has just had a super special facelift and is natures paradise - a great spot for a picnic. Or just relax on the deck or in front of the fire with a good book.
The house is spacious with a definite retro theme to its interior. Comprising of two bedrooms, dining room, lounge room, kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet. A large balcony extends along the back of the house with seating and a gas BBQ.
The deck overlooks the large backyard and beyond to the hills and dam. Sitting on the super comfy refurbished lounge in the Balinese gazebo you can watch ducks wander up and listen to the many native birds nesting in the trees.
We have added a lovely outdoor bath for you to enjoy the beauty of the night sky whilst soaking your bones listening to the sounds of the night.
A fire pit and seating complete the yard and make for a great night outdoors when the weather permits.
Please note this fire pit is not available during summer or when fire bans are enforced in this area.
