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.

The location of the hotel was perfect for walking and right across from the beach and public bath/pool. The room was very clean and a good size with 2 small balconies. The bed was large (king size) but the mattress was very hard which did not allow for a good night’s sleep.
