CHILL-OUT BEACHSIDE

The accommodation is beautiful, the main attraction being the close proximity to the beach and its pools. The view, especially in the evening, with the sunset and sky adds to the beauty of the location. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable, with constant light filtering into the living space and kitchen. Our family enjoyed the stay, the best part being the location -the center of Forster, close to beaches and restaurants. Would love to visit again.

Turtles Crossing

JavadRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Turtle crossing, what a beautiful serene place. We got to enjoy this charming property right after the recent heavy rains to the Mid Coast, and we were very close to cancelling, but we were oh so happy that we committed to our trip, and got the opportunity to explore this beautiful part of NSW. In the rain, in the clouds, in the fog, or in the sun, this property shines bright. There is so much to enjoy about the open space in the living areas as was in the gorgeous surrounding landscape. Very secluded setting with everything is provided. A fully stacked kitchen, generous amount of bedrooms & beds and endless games & activities makes this suitable for all families or groups wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of normal life. Jenni & Clive are amazing hosts, and I can’t praise either of them enough for their generosity and friendliness in the buildup, during and after our stay. We will be back

Sojourn at the Cove - opposite Heros Beach

SallyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.
