Hidden Gem. Comfy Pet Friendly

Beautiful brick house with open plan living. Bedrooms and bathrooms are located at the rear of the house.

There is a lovely screened sunroom for those lovely relaxing afternoons. Fully fenced colorbond yard to keep the fur babies safe and sound. Lovely paved area for afternoon drinks or a fire pit at night.

Wifi is provided so that you can stay connected. You can work from here or simply stream to the massive tv in living room!

There is an air conditioner in the main living area for those hot days

There is a great collection of dvds/cds both for adults and kids. Board games for those wet days and a massive tv for those footy games.

A fully equipped kitchen is provided and includes a great fridge with filtered cold water accessible from tap on the door - it also has an ice maker - just scoop out for those cold icy drinks.

Note: If accessible equipment is required - there is a raised toilet seat/shower seat and other accessories. Please enquire
The ensuite shower has rails and handles if you need that extra help. There is also a short ramp at the front door.

We are happy to oblige early check ins and late check outs if their are not incoming/out going guests. Please message!

A charming holiday home in a quiet neighbourhood

We are 2 families from Sydney stayed at Rachels's charming home, which was exactly as described, from 5th to 7th October 2024. Overall, we all felt we made a right choice to stay at this holiday home, and Tuncurry/Forster itself also offers great natural lake, beaches, and parks and restaurants. We all loved it.

Home away from home

My husband and I and our little dog stayed in this lovely, homey house that was comfortable, clean and well-organised! There was plenty of yard for our dog to run around in too! We recommend this place, especially dog-lovers! You will also love the friendly neighbourhood area!

The Ultimate Home Away from Home

From the moment we drove into the driveway, we knew this property stay was going to be great. Lovely comfortable and clean home catering to disabled/elderly. A lovely “welcome note” and bottle of wine on arrival. Rachael is a fabulous host. Highly recommended.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient.

We've stayed in many holiday houses over the years. This was our favourite! From the moment we stepped in we felt like we were home. The place was clean and fresh. Everything was very organised right down to labels on the light switches! There was so much attention to detail to make our stay comfortable: a doggy basket with everything Sofi would need and want for the week, a personalised note of greeting accompanying both people and fur baby snacks, a supply of toilet paper and other essentials, clear instructions regarding property details such as bin night and so much more. The location was convenient for shopping, bushwalking, rock climbing, and restaurants. It was just a short drive to Forster's downtown area and attractions. Every night we were able to watch our beloved dolphins. Thank you, Rachael, for your thoughtful hospitality. We will be back!

Wonderful beach escape at Forster

We all had a wonderful week at Ally's Retreat, including our whippet Sketch. We appreciated the welcome goodies on arrival, soaps, shampoo and towels. The dog supplies were much appreciated & we also really appreciated the well equipped kitchen, which had milkshake maker, coffee maker, blender and lots more. It was just like a family home, so when we reached for something, it was there, and you don't always find that in holiday homes. The Wi-Fi was great, two tvs so the teens had their PS4 games while we had a Netflix movie. All in all, a wonderful place to have a home style beach holiday. Thanks

Fantastic Stay

We had a short but great stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Yard was a good size for our pup, neat and tidy. I loved the sunroom and enjoyed my coffee here each day. Rachael was very helpful and communication with her was excellent. Would love to return one day.

When we walked into your house it felt warm and so welcoming. Had everything supplied that we needed

The property was so clean, tidy and beautiful. It was so nice to come back to the property after being at our sons footy game all day. We had a lovely BBQ and was so nice to relax around the fire place which was supplied and have a few drinks. Just felt like being in our own home. Everything you could possibly think of was supplied. We definitely will be staying there when we visit Forster in the future.
