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

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.
