Amazing cabins and fantastic facilities. A long weekend with a 2year old and 4 year old. The water park was a huge highlight and the best I’ve seen at a holiday park. The pool was great so all swimmers and such a great having the pool lights on at night. The sunset by the lake is stunning, great family photos were captured here. A short drive to Forster and even shorter drive to the amazing Artisan Farmer! We had the best time!

Stayed in the Standard 2 bedroom cabin which suited the 3 of us just fine. Nice newly built cabins with A/C, creature comforts and walking distance to the water park, pool and lake. Only complaints if I had to find them, was the screen door didnt have a locator for the door latch and bathroom door latch didn't line up so it couldn't be locked. Highly recommended and will be back 👍

It was my first time at Foster and my first time at this accommodation. The accommodation facilities were clean, but the internet didn't work well. The gas wasn't on so I couldn't use it, but I couldn't ask because the reception was closed.(9-5)

Location was just so serene. If you want a relaxing holiday this was the place to be. Only one thing we were in a 2 story place which was quiet until the top unit was rented out and the noise was pretty bad from the kids running wild upstairs. Would prefer a single cabin next time . Views were perfect pool was great . .

Wouldn't return
The booking stated free wifi however from our unit we could even detect the wifi let alone join it. As I had work to complete this meant driving into town each day which defeated the purpose of staying there. When I queried this with reception they agreed the wifi was terrible and that it may work at night (it didn't). As we were situated directly next to the cafe and their signal was strong I asked if we could join their network however this was declined. The unit we were staying in was also very noisy. We could hear the people upstairs come and go, We could hear their showers and even their conversation. No ideal.

Poor customer service. I called 4-5times to ensure we have a good selective of cabin as more cabins got available on wotif to book... but no clear answer. Just said what we have booked is the best. But NO!!! When we went there our cabin was in front of the yucky scary lagoon. On wotif there were other cabins available on wotif at the time I called... I wish the customer service offered clear understanding and helped make a change to our booking. Previously we stayed at Discovery Parks in Dubbo which was a super fabulous experience hence this time we didn't even look out any other place for accommodation knowing Discovery Parks is here in Forster. Also... the Cabin wise... the dishwasher didn't have buttons to operate properly... had to use a pen tip to push the button!! Like seriously???? This is what we get for spending more than $800 for just two nights!!!???? What a bigget rip off. Will need to think back before we ever choose to stay here again. No bin liners were in the bin. Had to go ask for them with the linen/cleaning staff. Only 2 towels... for 4 people... for 2 night stay!!
