Good for an overnight stay. Family unit was roomy. Beds comfy. Bathroom is a little pokey and the pool looked like it could do with a refresh. Not a fan of having the bathroom sink double as a kitchenette sink but ok for a night.Nice reception from the owner upon arrival.

The staff were extremely accommodating giving us early check in as we were in town for a funeral. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with everything you would need. Club Forbes is directly across the road so we ate there both nights. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely stay there again.

This is an excellent hotel in every way; the most wonderful and welcoming hosts, great amenities, perfect spot near everything but still quiet, clean, and a good hairdryer (important). Thanks for looking after me - I love how warm and welcoming you are and you really look after your guests! Easily my go-to and recommendation for anyone staying in Forbes!

Forbes for Two Nights Only

We were in town in preparation for a medical procedure. It was quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed the closeness to the RSL Club. THe beds and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was very very squizzy, there are no grab bars in the shower but a non slip mat is supplied. The A/C was quiet and efficient.
