Rob, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

I loved the spa bath in the bathroom. It’s hard to get a bath these days let alone a spa bath.
Julie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was what we were looking for,walking distance to beach and restaurants shopping,ocean views, only thing I could complain about was it was very hot sitting on balcony facing north, a shade or umbrella on balcony would be good
Ian, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT , VIEWS OVER FORSTER WERE GREAT , VERY CONVIENT, parking was very tight and sometimes full.
Robert, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Great position opposite the beach and apartment was clean and tidy
Gabrielle, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The view was excellent even though the building is tired. Our biggest vent is that there wasn't a toaster . A kettle ,plates etc. Were offered. Surely a $20 toaster would just add a convenience as their restaurant was closed permanently. So we had to find breakfast elsewhere
Gillian, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A very central property, close to beach and shopping areas. Very safe, comfortable room and easy parking, highly recommend.
Craig, 3-night trip

wonderful hotel with magnificent views
Michele, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great spot, everything close by, within walking distance. Beach and ocean bath across the road. A microwave would not go a stray. No cooking facilities, only tea and coffee making facilities so eating out most of the time.
Harleigh, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed in the deluxe room which had a lovely balcony overlooking the beach. We were able to walk everywhere as the property is in such a great location, room was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again.

Forster's Best

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the friendliest and helpful of staff. The room was quite spacious and clean with all the amenities we required for our stay. The Hotel's location was in our opinion the best Forster has to offer. The beach and saltwater baths were directly across the road and the centre of town, restaurants and shops just a 5 minute walk away. We would highly recommend and we definitely will be back.
Theo, 1-night trip
