The Brick House has everything you will need for a comfortable stay. You will need to bring your own food and drinks as there are limited grocery outlets in the local area.
At the Beechy Pub you will find great meals and a warm & friendly atmosphere if you would rather a night off cooking. Just make sure you book ahead on 03 52359220.

交通アクセス
Before you leave
You will need your own transport (car) to get to and around Beech Forest and the Otways. Many of the local roads are unsealed and can get slippery in wet weather so please take care.
Make sure you bring your food and drinks with you as only limited supplies are available in and around Beech Forest.
Nestled so close to the rainforest, it rains a lot. Bring sturdy shoes or boots, a rain jacket and shoes for inside. Ugg boots are a must in Winter!
