• Juliet (9/5): Overall a great stay with great hosts. - Very nice personal touch of wine and chocolates. Location to beautiful one mile beach and bird life in surrounding bush. Bed a wee bit hard but that’s personal preference. Inside chairs not super comfy but ok. Neighbours barking dogs through the night!
• Annie (10/5): Highly recommend this sanctuary. - Our Retreat felt like a home away from home. It was the most relaxing gorgeous escape we could have planned. Ingrid and Ross are such a beautiful couple who live in front of Our Retreat. The environment is so secluded and the wildlife in the beautifully treed surrounding area just adds to the serenity of the accommodation. The two fur babies who travelled with us absolutely loved their stay as well. We didn't like leaving.
• Dafne (10/5): Lovely place! - We had a wonderful stay in “our retreat” . It was very nice, and I found the living area quite spacious. The little outdoor area was a lovely bonus, with a bit of garden space that we really enjoyed. The outside space is fenced so it was perfect for our dog as well! Being able to use the pool was absolutely amazing! Ingrid and Ross are very kind and welcoming, and even though their house is next to the flat, it felt very private throughout our stay. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

• Belinda (7/5): Great hosts, perfect for a short stay. - Friendly hosts, everything you need for a short stay! Surprised us with treats that was unexpected and thoughtful!

• Shehan (10/5): Great location; wonderful hosts - Greeted by a very friendly Ross. Thank you for the complimentary wine and chocolates! The apartment had everything you needed , including bottled water in the fridge. The kids loved the pool - they were in there for hours. The beach, lake, boat rides , restaurants - all were so close away. It was dog friendly as well. Probably the only thing - no shampoo in the toilet. Everything else was perfect.
• Clive (8/5): -
• Amanda (8/5): Perfect overnight stay - It was cosy but had everything we needed for an overnight stay to cook, shower and do a load of washing. The kids loved the complimentary chocolates. The hosts were also very kind. It was a little far away from town but that was ok as we had a car.

Generous sized shower, 2 generous sized bedrooms & a kitchen for free use as well as a pool that looked lovely, just a little cold at the moment to go in! Absolutely nothing, everything was lovely
• Denis (10/5): Fantastic place and the best hosts - Everything was fantastic. The unit was spotless, very modern, the bed was comfortable, the location was very quiet and just a 5-minute drive to the waterfront and 5 minute drive to the Stockland shopping centre. The fully enclosed yard was great for our little dog. Ron & Ingrid go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, including a complimentary bottle of wine and some chocolate snacks. They are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. If we ever come to Forster again, Our Retreat is where we'll stay for sure. There is nothing not-to-like about Our Retreat.

Complimentary wine on arrival some chocolates and water in the fridge, just excellent for the price……our pets were welcomed which was important to our stay and the kitchen was well stocked with everything which one would need for a few days. The driveway was a bit tight meaning it was a bit more of a task to get unloaded, but easy to overlook that…..
• Marie (9/5): Can’t wait to return - Ingrid is a perfect host. Her retreat was very peaceful. The pool is a great place to cool down and chill out. The location was among the residential area of Forster so it was great being out of the hub but literally only 5 min drive to its centre. Shops were great you have everything you need and more just on your doorstep.

• Paula (9/5): A beautifully presented beach retreat - This property is situated at the back of the owners property in a very quiet street. It is very private and has a small grass backyard which was perfect for our young dog. It has a nice outdoor area and visitors have access to a private pool. The beach themed property has been thoughtfully put together to cater for the comfort and enjoyment of the visitors. They have thought of absolutely everything including a lovely welcome gift. Nothing, it was fantastic.
• Allan (7/5): Just spend about 18 hours there and generally pleasant except for the Buddha statues and incense. - Clean and quiet At least three statues of Buddha were used to decorate the granny flat which is too religious oriented. Also, the accompanying incense is not necessary.
