My partner and I booked accommodation here the day before heading up. We were only staying a night and just looking for a cheap, clean room after deciding it was raining too hard to camp. Management seemed a little rude. I felt a little bit like I was in kindergarten - always in trouble until I could prove I'd done... More

It reminded me of motor inn stays as a child, but run down though clean. It has been a very cute 1950's motel in its former years, but as it's about to be knocked down (there is a model on the office of the tower they are to build) there is not a lot of care anymore. Room was basic,... More

When I told them I had a baby I was told abruptly that for $69 (the advertised price) it wasnt worth having to change the sheets for me, and then the man hung up on me. Rude, unhelpful and didnt want my business. Im sure there are plenty of places to stay where your allowed to at least book a... More

Affordable (we found it on LastMinute.com) - It was a last-minute find, and I felt it was also worthy enough of a review on here! We had first planned on camping overnight somewhere in/near Forster on our road trip, but the rain was relentless! We looked up a good deal during our drive & found this gem. We were able... More

Don't bother wasting your time with this mob. We had booked a family room in Feb 2011 for our around Oz trip in September, given credit card details and nothing from them. When we turned up we had no booking with them, and they put ME on the phone to speak with the lady who I made the booking with.... More

While it's not the Hilton, for $75 I got a warm, honest welcome from host Jenny and daughter Zoe when I arrived. On business and simply needing a bed, a shower and a TV before a meeting tomorrow, that's what I got. Sure, you could give the place a coat of paint, but I got a brand new iron, some... More

This motel isn't modern and fancy, rather it is cheap and basic but in a sensational location just a stones throw from the ocean. If you are aseeking five star facilities, try one of the local serviced apartment complexes. But if you plan to spend the day enjoying the town and just need a place to stay, this is your... More

My boyfriend and I stayed overnight here on a road trip from Brisbane to Sydney. We were looking to save some money and came across this place as the cheapest for a 1 night stay here in forster, at about $85 for the night. The place definitely falls into the 'no frills'category, which is fine.. but at minimum, I expect... More
