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 property was situated in a perfect spot - directly across the road from the beach. There is a lovely restaurant downstairs and other restaurants are within walking distant.

The Dorsal is in a lovely location and very close to the beach. The hotel could do with an update, it’s looking quite tired for the daily rate charged.
