Forster and Wallis Lake Motel

Great location, easy to find with good sized parking spots and plenty of room to manoeuvre. I stayed mid-week with not many others booked in so the premises were nice and quiet. Even when I woke up a bit late I was surprised to see that most of the other cars had already gone and I didn't hear a thing! I'm sure that was also attributable to the courtesy of the other guests not making a racket, slamming doors and talking loudly while leaving. Wish that happened everywhere. The room had excellent block-out curtains and wide-opening windows to let the cool breeze flow through the room for a peaceful sleep. Security grilles on both windows were reassuring and I noticed many security cameras around the external areas. On arrival I was delighted to be offered a late check-out which I gladly accepted because my stay at the previous night's location was very poor, getting a bonus few hours of sleep was greatly appreciated. They were also happy for me to leave the packed-up car on-site while I walked into the main drag for breakfast ... "Take your time!". Thank you!

Perhaps a covering for the window panel over the door to block out the morning light would be helpful for us sleepyheads. Odd power points don't allow guests to plug in a powerboard which would make charging mobile devices a bit more convenient. A double outlet in the kitchenette let me charge stuff there anyway. The top rail of the shower door is a bit low, I banged my head a few times.

The manager was lovely - a really friendly chap who had lots of suggestions of what to do, where to walk, eat etc. The room had everything you could need and was spacious. The location was absolutely perfect - easy walking distance to sights, restaurants,beach, walking paths.

The laundry behind the units had a parking area where the van for the linen service arrived every morning between 3:30 and 4:00 with loud banging and noise which woke us every night with a shock. For this reason alone I wouldn't stay there again. Not the motel's fault however. The bed was a bit uncomfortable for me, but that is a personal bias. Mirror was smeared.

It was located at Forster city central. I walked to everywhere, cafe, pub, shops and Forster Beach! Though it was very next to the city, the street was so quiet in the night! Also the room was clean and well serviced. Fresh towels were supplied every day too. No frost in the freezer (no odor either!). Hot shower and dispensers (shampoo, etc) in the bathroom! Parking spots are everywhere and there was a small BBQ facility too. Staffs were very friendly, I really appreciated.

Nothing. But if I really have to say... It was an old country motel, so sound proofing was not great. There wasn't a safe in the room (might be an issue if you have vaulables). Well this wasn't an issue for my family but... the motel did not provide a smart TV for streaming services (eg. NetFlix, Disney etc).

Fantastic location, steps away from Forsters main street - easy walk to shops, restaurants, beach and lake. Spotlessly clean room and bathroom. Parking outside room. Basic older style Hotel, but a well equipped, spacious room.

Noisy screen doors. Not really hotels fault but inconsiderate guests. Woken by slamming screen doors about 6.30am and people in room next to mine seemed to go in and out of their room constantly ruining any chance of a sleep-in. Maybe get some soft close doors.

Less than 1min walk into the heart of Forster. My son went fishing for the entire time we were there and could just walk back. I loved that we didnt have to spend anytime looking for parking. The only time i had to drive was to get more fishing supplies. The beds as so comfy and the owners and house keepers were very welcoming and friendly. We didnt want to leave. We will only ever go back to Forster & Wallis.

Booked only for a night stay to break the long hour's journey. Welcomed by a nice decent bloke (probably the owner). The room was clean, beds were comfortable over all nice decent place to stay.

It was quite a short trip for a night stay only, so we ignored a few things that would definitely be needed if staying for a day or 2 like shampoo, body lotion and shower gel bottles were emptied, not a big thing though.

This hotel is in a fabulous location, close to amazing restaurants, beautiful beaches and the tranquility of Wallis Lake. Over the course of our stay, our car was hardly used at all. The staff were exceptionally friendly and happily provided a later check out when asked. We would stay here again.

We would advise to contact the hotel directly to get the best rates on the overnight rate. We feel that the booking.com fee was excessive and we can't contact anyone from booking.com to clarify. Normally this isn't the case as we have used this service previously and been happy.

The property at Forster and Wallis Lake Motel had everything that we were looking for a clean room with A/C, a comfortable bed, TV, kitchenette facilities, and spacious living area with a comfortable 3 seater couch. For the money my wife and I were extremely happy. We were within 3 to 4 min walk from all of the hotspots and restaurants along the pier and main beach. The service was incredible and we would definitely stay there again next time in Forster and have recommended to friends and family.

absolutely nothing, we were entirely happy

What a great find! Super close to the water-front, lower price than anything around it and squeaky clean! Loved it. Small room, perfect for travel, and very efficient!! Don't let the old sign in front of the hotel fool you - the rooms are great!

I didn't like that I only had one night to stay.

The location of the motel to the main activities of Forster was great. You could walk to most attractions. The Motel was quiet and provided a very good stop over location for our trip back to Brisbane it was our first visit to Forster. We only stayed one night to see if Forster was going to be return location and it definitely is.

Kitchen facilities could have been a bit better, but at least they had an electric frypan microwave and toaster. Great if you want to cook up your own breakfast. Otherwise for what you pay you get a good overall deal.
