Discovery Parks - Forster

Discovery Parks - Forster

10/10 Excellent
"We had the absolute best time during our recent getaway at this lovely spot. Every corner of the grounds felt like it was built specifically for making lasting memories with the kids. We spent hours splashing around in the pool while enjoying the warm sunshine. It is rare to find a place that manages to be both relaxing for parents and high-energy for children. We really appreciated how clean and well-maintained all the shared areas remained throughout our entire stay. We are already looking at our calendar to see when we can come back for another visit."
