Check in quick, friendly staff, clean amenities, spacious, comfortable bed (wonderful), absolutely amazing view of the ocean, best location and very quiet. The only problem, would be great to have a microwave available in the room to heat up meals. Otherwise, a great stay.

View is stunning from the balcony but chairs on balcony aren't the type you can sit and relax in. Unfortunately beneath our balcony you have the outside cafe area which is a little noisy at times. Bed and amenities were wonderful especially spa bath.

Arrive prepared to want to stay forever…

Incredible ocean view, clean, basic for what I needed for one night. Heidi at desk was exceptional, as was staff in the restaurant. Food and service was excellent. Forster is a gem-the views/vistas are superior to any coastal town in NSW.
