Is Forrest Dog Friendly?
Forrest is a very dog friendly destination for outdoor adventures, so is a great day trip to take your dog on. Dogs are allowed in the brewery beer garden and on nearby bushwalks like the Lake Elizabeth Walk and others at the nearby West Barwon Dam such as Fern Gully.
Accommodation in Forrest
Forrest has camping and cabins available at the small local caravan park (which is called Wonky Stables -booking.com link) which is right in town and walking distance to the brewery. There is also lots of holiday houses available (Stayz/vrbo affiliate link to see holiday houses) both in the town and in nearby country areas. Many of them are dog friendly and book out quite far in advance so if there is not much choice, try dates further away.
