Room was spacious enough.
No body wash in dispenser in shower cubicle made it difficult to shower. No toaster in kitchenette. One wine glass. One teaspoon.
Office hours didn’t commence til 9 am so not easy to ask for anything.
So disappointing in what was provided and not provided.
Staff friendly at front desk.

Dean behind the counter was extremely friendly and helpful. Although property is dated could not fault room and bed very comfortable. Would be happy to recommend for the price.
Shahla
Great stay! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Would definitely stay again.
Tinku
Absolutely clean and affordable prices ..staff was very helpful and friendly..
Gary
The property needs to focus on maintenance issues: dirty and damaged outside lights, mouldy shower recess, damaged curtain fittings. Please turn off bright outside lights at night as they intrude through the gaps in the curtains. Internet connection hit and miss. HOWEVER, the room was lean and the bed was very comfortable, and the location excellent.
Patricia
Lovely clean motel, so convenient to everything, very good value.
Janet
Very convenient position close to shops.
Peter
motel is dated and could do with a refurb.
Scott
The room was an absolute dump, paint falling off the walls, kitchen cupboard doors missing and bedroom wardrobe doors fallen off. No soap in the bathroom. When i addressed the issue's with the manager asking for a refund on the second night, he became abusive swearing, and threatened me! My worst motel experience ever!
Meg
Grubby motel. Uncomfortable bed. Grounds badly kept. Room smelled. Good location close to Main Street. Poor lighting around the back stair case. Generally a tired old motel.

On arrival, the carpet had a horrible smell like a cat or dog urinated everywhere.
Barry
The cleanest bathroom toilet I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in hundreds well done to the cleaners, pool was spotless, position was great Chinese Restaurant next door, Beach Rock pool and Cafe on the beach two minute walk, have been staying here for years and will continue 👍😁
Warren
Good lication
Kim
The room was nothing like in the pics I saw when booking. Smelt really old, although the sheets and towels looked clean, the walls, floor and toilet and seat seat were really grubby. I felt like I was in an ex housing commision flat. There was paint peeling off windows, curtains were old and thread bare, the toilet needs cleanong and there was hair on the bathroom floor on arrival. Doors, door handles and walls were grubby. Did have good tvs and was spacious though. On arrival there was no one in reception, we had to drive to a hotel near by to pick the key up. We did try to call reception on the way to the hotel as we were gping to arrive only 15 mi utes prior to close, but nobody answered.
Deborah
We chose this place on a recommendation from a friend. Firstly, you have to visit the pub around the corner to collect your room key as they have bought the property. They shared directions to parking and location of the room. Our room did not look anything like the above picture. In fact, room 20 is so unique that it has a back door and a front door. The place is a bit tired and on inspecting the cupboards, I found a dress hanging up from a previous resident which makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the property. Make sure that you take your own soap as none is provided. Water pressure was good and warm. It was convenient to the main street and a block away from the beach. Good for one night but not much else.
Christie
Clean room, bathroom needs work and shower floor was very dirty/stained. You can tell that they’re working on doing up an older style motel. Location was great and perfect for what we needed.
Libby
The outside is nothing to look at but the rooms are clean and the beds

A very comfortable size room for a family. Great bathroom. Great pressure in shower. Laundry was a bonus. Bed super comfortable and clean. Soooo much room. With a bit of paint and a small reno, it would be 10/10. But I will definitely be staying here again and would recommend.

I wouldn't stay again we tried to call them but no one would answer. We left a message but no response.
Cheryl
Curtains were awful, barely covered the window & full of holes & threadbare.
Doona was dirty, didn’t look like it had been washed in a while.
Shower based stained & grout looked grotty.
Chairs were dirty & stained.
Room looked nothing like the photo.

Cheap and cheerful
Had a great 2-night stay at the Golden Sands. Amazing value for money. Everything was very clean, and staff were all really friendly. Location was fantastic - you literally walk out of the property and are surrounded by cafes and restaurants. Beach is a 5-10min stroll away.
Plenty of tea, coffee, milk etc provided, and there’s even a toaster and microwave in the room (but with all the lovely cafes and restaurants within a few meters of the motel, we didn’t use them!)
Would definitely recommend, and hope to return soon.

Excellent Forster Budget Hotel
Excellent budget motel, very clean with air conditioning and ceiling fans, needs updating but then it is a budget motel. The lowest priced room are internal and look into a courtyard so are dark and for security cannot leave window open and night. Staff very friendly.

This place was in an excellent central position. Walking distance to most areas (beaches, river, shops, food areas, etc). Great place and medium priced.

Great Forster stay
Would not hesatate to say at Golden Sands Motor Inn again. We were passing through Forster and stayed only one night but there seemed to be families enjoying the pool and having BBQs. Staff happy and helpful, room clean and comfortable, easy walk to resturants and beach, great stay on a budget.

Perfect for my requirements. A short notice stay but was ready immediately and friendly staff
Verified traveler
The property is in a perfect location. It is a 2 minute walk from the property to the ocean (Main Beach) on one side, Lake Wallis on the other side and downtown Forster with all of the shops and cafes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's also a short walk to the bridge to Tuncurry.
Debbie
Value for money
Budget Motel in excellent position close to shops, beach and foreshore with lovely pool. Bed was comfortable enough, sheets were clean, towels were sparkly new white. Old building, bathroom very old, but can’t complain for the price. TV, Free Wi-Fi, Fridge, Microwave, Air con., balcony. On the main road, but I closed the window and door to sleep and turned fan on 😁👍

I was arriving late to check in at Golden Sands, when I called the office I was overwhelmed with the response that my room key would be waiting for me in a safe place, a light on in my room and fresh milk in the fridge! THANK YOU to Janine and other staff our holiday felt like a home away from home! Will most definitely be returning!!!! - Alix & Hazel
