Right in the midst of the holiday experience, this property is very hard to beat for everything ‘true-blue’ about Forster: music, laughter, great meals, fun, easy living, town vibes, lake and ocean walks and swimming. The greatest asset is, of course, its people: this hotel gets 10/10 for their Aussie welcome, friendliness and enduring hospitality. Special thanks to Heath, Tracey and housekeeping for their kindness, smiles and ease… I wouldn’t stay anywhere else!
