Large room with a good view but uncomfortable bed
The location of the hotel was perfect for walking and right across from the beach and public bath/pool. The room was very clean and a good size with 2 small balconies. The bed was large (king size) but the mattress was very hard which did not allow for a good night’s sleep.

Beautiful view of the beach and very easy access. Room was fine, but the bathroom could use a vanity around the basin.

Great casual hotel. Amazing views right on the beach. Lovely restaurant down stairs (not sure if they are specifically assosiated).
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Partner and I enjoyed a lovely weekend away.

Wedding Anniversary escape
Two night romantic getaway for our 53rd wedding anniversary. Best location opposite Forster Beach, saw a whale and her calf in the bay! Room was very comfortable, underground secure parking, walk down to The Sicilian restaurant and Beach Bums cafe for an excellent breakfast. We would stay again
