We have stayed twice now and both times have been a great stay. Nice and comfortable rooms, pool is great for the kids and big kids. Close by to the Main Street to walk for dinner. Helpful to get vouchers for the bowling club for after social membership and free round of putt putt golf. We will be back again.

Is managed by the bowling club next door, which has very friendly staff and offers very good quality for money dining options. The room itself is extremely basic, and there are no breakfast options at walkable distance. More generally foster is a beautiful location, but with everything closing very early... after 8pm is hard to find any place to eat that is not fast food.
