Astina Suites, Forster

Just spent 6 glorious nights in one of the stunning top floor apartment in the centre of Forster opposite the beach. You literally only have to walk a few metres to the main beach, shops restaurants and the start of the lakes. We saw stunning sunsets from down by the river each night!! It was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean and modern, with secure car parking. There were 2 x bedrooms with very comfortable beds and 2 bathrooms, We would stay again in a heartbeat!!

By far the best accomodation in Forster .. Didn’t need a car the whole time we were there.. Walk to the Beach, Lake, Marina boardwalk the breaker walls. Directly above the town centre. Local Deli, Fruit market and Butcher.. Restaurants and Fish & Chip Shop within 25 Metres.. Italian, Mexican, Asian Fusion, Turkish and Thai restaurants all only metres away.. An abundance of Beakfast and coffee choices also.. The large Suite offers an extra living room space so great if you’re travelling with kids.

This was our second stay at Astina Suites Forster. First in suite 10 and this time in suite 11. Even though the apartment isn’t accessible it was easily adaptable to our needs as the apartment is very wheelchair friendly. While on holidays we need to hire an electric bed, hoist and commode to make our stay comfortable. Astina were very accommodating in giving us early access so the equipment could be delivered. Although it is tricky to organise pickup on a travel day with no face to face reception to let the hire company in to collect the equipment. Suite 11 has an extra living room perfect for the electric bed and tiles for the hoist. The shower screen is just wide enough to get a tilt in space commode through. Although our height challenged carer found the shower head too high to reach. With a bit of tweaking the commode fit over the toilet (had to remove head support). Beds were comfortable and kitchen was stocked with cutlery and crockery. Love that a coffee machine is included. Laundry and dry very convenient. 3 TVs! Great internet and Foxtel, loved that my husband could sign into his YouTube to watch telly. A few cons: 1. Road noise is very loud with balcony doors open. 2. When visitors or food delivery arrived, I had to go down and let them in. Would be good to buzz them up. 3. Suite 10 has a bigger bathroom. Overall an excellent suite with everything you need.
