Well priced motel near the main beach, ocean baths & town centre. The two managers were so helpful & generous towards me made my stay a most comfortable one. The rooms are clean, air con worked well and had the basics of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, cutlery & washing liquid. I was very happy and recommend Forstay if you're looking for an overnight stay with helpful staff.

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient location near main beach and short walk to Forster main shops . Stayed in executive room which felt very dated . No power points next to bed sides which was annoying . Toilet gave a loud bang whenever the cistern refilled and shower too roughly 5 minutes to start getting warm . Effectively no noise insulation in room as door had a large gap at bottom , any time of night you could hear people walking outside or banging their own doors . Cost of stay was low however

The property is very conveniently located at the heart of Forster with the food precincts and beaches located in walking distance. The rooms decent in size and is well lit. Parking lot is cramped, you’ll need good driving skills to park and take your car out. Overall a great choice for the price we paid.
