Beautiful view of the beach and very easy access. Room was fine, but the bathroom could use a vanity around the basin.

Great casual hotel. Amazing views right on the beach. Lovely restaurant down stairs (not sure if they are specifically assosiated). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Partner and I enjoyed a lovely weekend away.

A very comfortable room that overlooks the beach. The hotel is an easy walk to the beach, several restaurants/ cafes and only a 10 minute walk from Forster town centre.

Wedding Anniversary escape
Two night romantic getaway for our 53rd wedding anniversary. Best location opposite Forster Beach, saw a whale and her calf in the bay! Room was very comfortable, underground secure parking, walk down to The Sicilian restaurant and Beach Bums cafe for an excellent breakfast. We would stay again

Bridget, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We love old buildings. The atmosphere was great. The young concierge was extremely friendly and helpful telling all about the building and the activities in the area e.g. Art Gallery special exhibition as our stay in Brisbane was quite unexpected and we had booked 24hrs earlier. Would like an improvement with the bar/restaurant, friendly people but it needs a slight revamp.
