Top Smiths Lake Hotel Reviews

Reflections Forster Beach - Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"A lovely cabin over looking the water and the camp had all the amenities you could want. The only down side was the camp wifi was tragically slow."

Discovery Parks - Forster

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best time during our recent getaway at this lovely spot. Every corner of the grounds felt like it was built specifically for making lasting memories with the kids. We spent hours splashing around in the pool while enjoying the warm sunshine. It is rare to find a place that manages to be both relaxing for parents and high-energy for children. We really appreciated how clean and well-maintained all the shared areas remained throughout our entire stay. We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can come back for another visit."

Forster and Wallis Lake Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hotel Forster

8/10 Good

"Motel great done the lobby we needed don't get an uber in the area you will only be disappointed"

Golden Sands Motor Inn Forster

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for two nights with my partner! Will 100% be staying there next time we visit again! Staff were amazing and the rooms were clean and comfortable! Super convenient being close to beaches, cafes and pubs as well as shops! Pool was well maintained and clean as well!"

The Dorsal Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, dinner and breakfast downstairs was beautiful."

Forster Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Motel was great but parking is a problem when big trucks park on site affecting access in and out of the Motel"

Tuncurry Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious room & had the conveniences like toaster, microwave, crockery, cutlery and bed was comfortable close to shops, restaurants, clubs & pub"

Lani's Holiday Island - Caravan Park

8/10 Good

"I was pleasantly surprised how quiet and peaceful Lani’s is. I imagine that it would get very hectic in the peak season tho. The accomodation was very clean including all the windows in the cabin which I really appreciated. My only complaint is that the bed was not as comfortable as I would’ve liked. I would happily recommend staying at Lani’s but perhaps bring a mattress topper if you like a soft mattress."
