‘Family Room’ - Recently stayed during school holidays - last minute to see family member, so little other options available in Forster - Booked for two nights (Friday/Saturday) understanding it was ‘pub’ accomodation and there may be some noise from downstairs… Good: *Location close to everything *Check in during business hours quick *Own ensuite Poor: *Family room is immediately above beer garden, so noise up to 12am and not accoustic windows, so very very loud! *Fixtures, furniture & fittings poor and dated *All beds extremely spongy *No aircon in parent room so hot & stuffy in summer (aircon in kids room doesnt reach main bedroom) *Overpriced for what it is. If you have young kids sensitive to noise (like ours) this is not the place for them, or be prepared for late bedtimes. And for what it is, overpriced at $350 per night (understand its holiday season but crazy price).

Well worth it .
Room was perfect ,with own bathroom , which was very clean. We had a meal from the bistro ,very nice . Tea and coffee facilities in the room that were replenished everyday Except they forgot to restock the milk. Just not sure as to why the pub charged 3 different prices for the same 2 drinks 3 rounds $21.00 $23.00 & $19.99 all on the same day . . So be aware of this . All in all would thoroughly recommend the hotel. Easy walking distance to beach and shops .
