OUR
STORY

Over 40 years ago, we made the life-changing move from the city to a dairy farm in Forrest, embracing the charm of rural life.

Bob and his two children riding a red ATV with a black and white dog running behind on a grassy farm area with a shed and trees in the background.

Though we no longer milk cows, our love for the region remains strong. Community, bushland, and a sense of belonging define our lives here.

We created Forrest River Valley Accommodation to share this beautiful area with others, providing a tranquil sanctuary where guests can experience the magic of the Otways.
