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.

The Hotel was not up to our expectations for the price. The high spot was the receptionist at the front desk. She was most helpful and accommodating. We were disappointed with the room and the amenities available.

Located right across the road from Forster’s main beach and only a 5 min walk to the shopping mall. Rooms were good quality and we enjoyed having a balcony with a view of the ocean. Bathroom is very small and had no counter space, but for a short stay this was ok. Undercover parking & a lift was very convenient. Lots of cafes & restaurants within easy walking distance.
