Beaches International

Absolutely stunning. The best location in Forster with spectacular ocean and lake views. The hosts, Tammy and Greg are welcoming, friendly and a wealth of local knowledge. We stayed in a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment on the 5th floor which was spotless and beautifully appointed. We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and two craft beers ( including stubbie holders!).

Well appointed and comfortable apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 ensuites and a powder room. Also has a laundry with washer and dryer. Kitchen has all appliances including pod coffee machine .Fantastic views over Main Beach and walking distance to lots of restaurants. We will definitely stay again.

Our family spent the last 4 days enjoying a getaway at Beaches International and it was excellent. Our apartment was beautifully clean and well equipped and everything worked well. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful, with nothing being problem. We can’t wait to visit again.

We have just spent some days staying at this great place located right opposite the beach at Forster on the north coast of NSW and cannot recommend it highly enough. We had a 3 bedroom unit sharing with very good friends and had a ball. The complex has a variety of accomodation to suit all needs. Our suite had the three separate bedrooms each with its own bathroom and shared a very large living area and kitchen (with a Nespresso machine) so one could either prepare meals or, as we did, bring in take away from some of the various restaurants all within walking distance, and that worked very well. We had breakfast on site before setting off to the beach or exploring the local region. All suites have extensive views over the beach and sea, or looking back over the Wallis Lake area and hinterland. Very relaxing and therapeutic for a good break. There is secure undercover parking and lift access to the floor with our unit. The units are very quiet so you can enjoy the sound of the waves rolling in to the beach. Our bedrooms were spacious with excellent walk in wardrobes and storage. The bed and pillows were excellent ensuring a good sleep. There was a separate laundry. Extending off the main living area and each bedroom is a large deck area with tables and chairs. There is a very nice pool area if you don’t want the feel of the sand and surf as well as a comprehensive gym. The management were very helpful with advice about local attractions and restaurants. There are a number of walks around the area along the coast line with open up beautiful sites. A visit to one of the oyster farms brought us amazing fresh rock oysters and seafood outlets are plentiful with fresh fish and prawns. We had not seen this part of the coast previously but now will return to this hidden gem and so close to Sydney - a great place for a short break.

Beaches International is the best place I have stayed. Everything was clean, shower didnt leak, no mould in shower/bathroom - amazing. We were on the 3rd floor with wonderful views of the ocean from the lounge/dining room. Plenty of space with full laundry. Secured carparking. Reception was very welcoming. Had to stay an extra night due to ocean view. Would most definitely recommend.

Beautiful location and apartment’s with ocean views, we’ve stayed in the penthouse and 2 bedroom apartment, wonderful for all bedrooms to have own ensuites then extra powder room, staff excellent happy to help with anything, easy walk to fabulous choice of restaurants, we’ve enjoyed over the last 3 winters for 4 night getaways and will continue to do so. Only downside this time were the lifts not working properly but management we’re getting fixed, love love love Beaches

This was our second time staying at Beaches Int. You cannot beat the location. Both times we stayed in one of the very spacious three bedroom apartments which have ensuite's to each room plus an extra powder room near the laundry which has up to date appliances. The owners go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect for your arrival. If you get tired of eating out, (yes, I/we do) the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare your own food. And a dishwasher to clean it up for you. The free underground parking is a bonus. Once parked, unless you go somewhere for a day trip or shop at Woollies in Tuncurry, you won't need it. I highly recommend Beaches. As far as pricing goes, if you share the expense with others it is very affordable. Greg Tammy and Megan will make sure your stay is as good as it can be. They certainly did with us and we will definitely be back. Thank you.

What a relaxing two weeks and a big thank you to the team at Beaches …Tammy, Greg, Megan and the fantastic cleaning and garden staff who are the value added part of this great accommodation. They go over and above to help make your holiday just that little bit special. For example, extra towels if needed, beach chairs and umbrellas to borrow, herbs for your at home meals available from Greg’s garden. We flew from Melbourne into Newcastle airport, picked up a hire car, drove (approx. 2 hours) to Forster, did a big shop at supermarket on the way in and then only used the car again for one more supermarket run. Everything you need is in easy walking distance from Beaches including some great restaurants such as The Wharf, Dragon’s Den, Spice Monkey, Il Salone, Tart, Anatolia Turkish, Bella Bellissimo (best seafood pizza) and Happy Garden for some excellent Chinese. We were spoilt for coffee places such as Wing Man (those vanilla slices should be illegal) Tartt and Beach Bums . We picked up some excellent seafood (especially the small school prawns) from Red Spot (Forster), Monins Seafood and Fisherman’s Cooperative (Tuncurry) and fresh oysters direct from Graham Barclay Oysters. After all that eating it just as well the surf beach and huge protected sea baths were there nearby to work off the meals. Beaches is as the name says …right by the beach with excellent views from every apartment. We could not fault the cleaning of our apartments or the quality of the kitchen equipment, furniture, beds, linin and huge TV. Then there are all the other little things included to make it a great stay like a Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother, dish liquid and dish washer tablets, clothes airing rack and plenty of good quality glasses and cooking equipment. We are signed up members of the Beaches fan club and have booked in already for 2024 which will be our third stay.

every aspect of Beaches is exceptional, the loveliest of management, it was my husbands birthday and our room had a personal card on it wishing him a happy birthday and a beautiful box of chocolates, we booked two rooms so our children and grandchildren could stay with us, The pool and spa were excellent, great for the grandchildren too, the view from the balcony is spectacular, the rooms are absolutly beautiful and very well equiped , very comfortable beds, plenty of space in the rooms , i think this was our 4th stay , cant wait to go back :)
