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

The view from balcony was lovely. It would have been great if we could have spent time on the balcony but due to the smokers in the adjacent unit it wasn’t very pleasant. We had to keep the door closed to stop the smell wafting inside.
