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

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.

The property was situated in a perfect spot - directly across the road from the beach. There is a lovely restaurant downstairs and other restaurants are within walking distant.
