Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient.
We've stayed in many holiday houses over the years. This was our favourite! From the moment we stepped in we felt like we were home. The place was clean and fresh. Everything was very organised right down to labels on the light switches! There was so much attention to detail to make our stay comfortable: a doggy basket with everything Sofi would need and want for the week, a personalised note of greeting accompanying both people and fur baby snacks, a supply of toilet paper and other essentials, clear instructions regarding property details such as bin night and so much more. The location was convenient for shopping, bushwalking, rock climbing, and restaurants. It was just a short drive to Forster's downtown area and attractions. Every night we were able to watch our beloved dolphins. Thank you, Rachael, for your thoughtful hospitality. We will be back!

A charming holiday home in a quiet neighbourhood
We are 2 families from Sydney stayed at Rachels's charming home, which was exactly as described, from 5th to 7th October 2024. Overall, we all felt we made a right choice to stay at this holiday home, and Tuncurry/Forster itself also offers great natural lake, beaches, and parks and restaurants. We all loved it.

Wonderful beach escape at Forster
We all had a wonderful week at Ally's Retreat, including our whippet Sketch. We appreciated the welcome goodies on arrival, soaps, shampoo and towels. The dog supplies were much appreciated & we also really appreciated the well equipped kitchen, which had milkshake maker, coffee maker, blender and lots more. It was just like a family home, so when we reached for something, it was there, and you don't always find that in holiday homes. The Wi-Fi was great, two tvs so the teens had their PS4 games while we had a Netflix movie. All in all, a wonderful place to have a home style beach holiday. Thanks

We had a short but great stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Yard was a good size for our pup, neat and tidy. I loved the sunroom and enjoyed my coffee here each day. Rachael was very helpful and communication with her was excellent. Would love to return one day.

When we walked into your house it felt warm and so welcoming. Had everything supplied that we needed
The property was so clean, tidy and beautiful. It was so nice to come back to the property after being at our sons footy game all day. We had a lovely BBQ and was so nice to relax around the fire place which was supplied and have a few drinks. Just felt like being in our own home. Everything you could possibly think of was supplied. We definitely will be staying there when we visit Forster in the future.
