Discover the area

Forster is part of the Great Lakes district so water activities are a must, anything from a lazy sunbake, perhaps a dolphin cruise, a drive around to one of the local towns, or even go swimming with some grey nurses (sharks, not old medical staff).

Wallis Lake

From swimming in the warm shallows to hiring a boat or throwing a line, Wallis lake is a spectacular waterway that everyone will enjoy. The lake is huge and runs from Forster to Pacific Palms and Coomba Park so there’s plenty to explore. The fishing is second to none, expect flathead, bream, whiting, blackfish, and of course blue swimmer crabs aplenty!

Forster

Twinned with Tuncurry on the other side of the iconic bridge, these townships are full of coastal charm. There’s a thriving café culture, lots of places to eat out, plus a number of clubs and hotels to keep you entertained. There’s great boutique shopping on the main street plus Stockland Shopping Centre with all the large outlets and supermarkets. And there’s a safe ocean bath too!

Great Lakes

The stunning Great Lakes area on the Barrington Coast is home to stunning beaches and waterways. Inland you’ll discover beautiful rainforests and swimming holes in case you want a change from the salt. The area is home to some fantastic food producers and some great local markets.

No matter what your ideal getaway is Forster and the Great Lakes have you covered, and Jamaica and Miley’s Holiday Units make the perfect base camp to set out from.
