Located right across the road from Forster’s main beach and only a 5 min walk to the shopping mall. Rooms were good quality and we enjoyed having a balcony with a view of the ocean. Bathroom is very small and had no counter space, but for a short stay this was ok. Undercover parking & a lift was very convenient. Lots of cafes & restaurants within easy walking distance.

The view is the best part
The room had a great view over the beach. It was large and adequately furnished, but a little dated. I ate dinner in the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel, it was the worst meal I’ve had in Australia, sadly. Not sure how they could go wrong with smoked salmon salad, but it was not good.
