Property is very well located and staff nice. However, a number of issues need to be addressed. The bathroom/toilet door would not close and in a small room this was not very nice. Window to outside (beside the bed) would not close and noise outside was awful.... Friday night until 1.30ish and Saturday night yelling continued until around 2.30 am. Hot water was barely hot. Overall disappointing despite lovely location.

I loved the the water front, me and the Bois were able to walk across the road, have a fish and a few beers right at the comfort of the front door. Bottle shop was 2 minutes walk away, the food there is to die for. I highly recommend this place to any one and I will definitely be returning customers. Thanks once again

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As a solo traveler, I found the room to be dirty, dingy and unsafe. There were no internal security measures to ensure the door to the room and the balcony could be secured. The room felt, and smelled quite bad, and I didn't even unpack. When I asked if I could be moved, I was denied as they were booked (fair enough). I actually walked around Forster and found alternative accommodation, and immediately checked out. I was denied any refund as they have a 72 hour cancellation policy.

‘Family Room’ - Recently stayed during school holidays - last minute to see family member, so little other options available in Forster - Booked for two nights (Friday/Saturday) understanding it was ‘pub’ accomodation and there may be some noise from downstairs… Good: *Location close to everything *Check in during business hours quick *Own ensuite Poor: *Family room is immediately above beer garden, so noise up to 12am and not accoustic windows, so very very loud! *Fixtures, furniture & fittings poor and dated *All beds extremely spongy *No aircon in parent room so hot & stuffy in summer (aircon in kids room doesnt reach main bedroom) *Overpriced for what it is. If you have young kids sensitive to noise (like ours) this is not the place for them, or be prepared for late bedtimes. And for what it is, overpriced at $350 per night (understand its holiday season but crazy price).

Room was quite small but very nice. Great quality bathroom. Very convenient location with nice view of the lake. However The attached pub played loud music until 1 am so hard to sleep. And no parking. So I won’t be staying again even though staff are very nice.

Worth stopping at

A short 2 night stay on our way from Sydney back to Brisbane after Christmas. Great location to be able to walk everywhere. The town was a buzz with holiday makers. Long wait times with food at most places as you would expect this time of the year
