Golden Sands Motor Inn Forster

10/10 Excellent

Forster Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Motel was great but parking is a problem when big trucks park on site affecting access in and out of the Motel"

Tuncurry Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room & had the conveniences like toaster, microwave, crockery, cutlery and bed was comfortable close to shops, restaurants, clubs & pub"

Bream Cottage With Wallis Lake Water Views

10/10 Excellent

"Bream cottage is in an excellent location close to the lovely foreshore with awesome views of the water and boat activity. It was good for our dog to play along the foreshore. It was convenient to the lakeside restaurant in the town which we visited on Saturday Night. The host was good at communicating with me about the area suitable for our dog. I would definitely stay again."

Lani's Holiday Island - Caravan Park

8/10 Good

"I was pleasantly surprised how quiet and peaceful Lani’s is. I imagine that it would get very hectic in the peak season tho. The accomodation was very clean including all the windows in the cabin which I really appreciated. My only complaint is that the bed was not as comfortable as I would’ve liked. I would happily recommend staying at Lani’s but perhaps bring a mattress topper if you like a soft mattress."

Twin Dolphins Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Cabin for 2 was good just a needed a little more room. Good for a couple of nights stay. Need to remove the garbage bin and timber frame from near cabin steps as in the night when parking near cabin in the dark one can easily fall over the timber frame."

NRMA Forster Tuncurry Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
