Right in the midst of the holiday experience, this property is very hard to beat for everything ‘true-blue’ about Forster: music, laughter, great meals, fun, easy living, town vibes, lake and ocean walks and swimming. The greatest asset is, of course, its people: this hotel gets 10/10 for their Aussie welcome, friendliness and enduring hospitality. Special thanks to Heath, Tracey and housekeeping for their kindness, smiles and ease… I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Room was very clean, staff were wonderful, the food was really nice but a lot of chips to fill the plate however the seafood basket that I had, was cooked beautifully. I thought the fish were crab sticks they were that small but the food was good. The bathroom door wouldn't close all the way but we're family. Fix the door and don't use chips to make the meals look big and I'll give 5 stars. Great location too btw. Would stay again.
