Beech Forest Hotel Motel

A classic country pub loved for its warm, welcoming vibe and friendly locals. Reviewers rave about the cosy woodfire, community feel, resident dog, clean facilities and helpful service, with many calling it the perfect Otways stop after hikes, rides or a day chasing waterfalls and the Redwoods. Travellers also appreciate the simple, clean rooms, electric blankets and convenient location for day trips.

The food is a standout: the OMG Burger and OMG Parma get repeated shout-outs, along with a top steak sandwich, pizzas, garlic bread, crisp chips, grilled chicken salad, beer-battered fish and egg and bacon rolls for brekkie. Expect hearty pub meals, a standard lunch and dinner menu, pizza night on Sundays, nice cold beer, music in the bar and even a pool table. Highly recommended for families, cyclists and anyone after good value, great service and genuine country hospitality.
