Due to the major flooding disaster from 19th May25 over the whole Mid North Coast region of NSW with roads closed and towns isolated, it became very obvious I wouldn’t be able to make the motel booking, even though I was already in transit a few days prior. Contacting the motel before my due arrival date, albeit just within the 2pm 48hrs check-in cancellation period, the owner of this Forster and Wallis Lake Motel refused a refund OR to reschedule! I would have thought under the extreme and mitigating circumstance my polite request to reschedule my booking to a later date in the year was not much to ask, but received a condescending unable to help justification excuse, hiding behind the booking agent limitations. It’s important to highlight that another motel that I had a multiple night booking with (via a booking agent) in Coffs Harbour were very courteous and compassionate, contacting me directly and providing assistance with rescheduling dates to a later period with no further costs involved, very professional… unlike Forster and Wallis Lake Motel. There are other worthy Motels nearby which in future will receive my custom!!!

Hotel had a good clean room with microwave, fridge and cutlery. The wash basin was a little small. The hotel is situated in probably one of the best area in Forster with 5 min walk to the main beach / rock pool and millions of eateries within 100 meters

We always stay at this little hotel when visiting Forster. It’s affordable, convenient, close to the Main Street, beach and local pub. The rooms have all the basic needs, they’re always clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable and the staff are always pleasant. Highly recommended.
