An older style motel but comfortable, clean and tidy rooms. Perfectly located near the centre of Forster and a two minute walk to the beach. Free WiFi and a front balcony on each unit. I guess this would be considered a 3 star motel, however we were very happy and would stay here again.

We stayed here in March and were very happy with it. The Managers were so friendly and helpful. We found the room very comfortable and clean. The room had a toaster, fridge, coffee maker. We enjoyed the patio out front and loved the fact that they had free wi-fi. If you are happy in a 3-star you will love this.

Older style hotel but in a great location right in the middle of the beach, river and main street. Good value for money. Clean rooms, ours had queen bed and single bed, mini fridge, toaster, tv with ausstar, tea & coffee. Friendly staff. I would stay here again for the price.

Couple of friends and I stayed there for 3 nights in February, service was very poor and rude. Will not be going back! Room was unclean, sheets were stained and shower was disgusting! Now we are being blamed and charged for vomit being left in the room which is certainly untrue... Would not recommend this place to anyone planning on... More

I picked this place based on reviews on trip advisor. Twas a mistake. On the upside Golden Sands is in a great location to the shops and a block or so (albeit across a busy road) from the beach.

After a painless check-in on a hot day it was nice to stay at a place in a great location with a spotlessly clean pool. Albeit I happened to fluke being able to have a swim without half a dozen rug rats sharing the space but it was great all the same. You can walk to the main drag in... More

great motel in a top location for the price in peak period of Christmas school holidays, we only required 1 night which is hard to find in peak periods, most want a minimum of 2 nights, excellent helpful manager/staff which were very welcoming.....close to everything, beach/lake and restaurants, clean and tidy/comfortable rooms, not noisy.

We stayed at the Golden Sands in the month of October and there were 4 adults. Perhaps I mis-read the room desription but I assumed that it was a two bedroom unit, but turned out to be a two room in total unit. There was a bedroom with two single beds then a double bed in the main area. Problem... More

This motel is well located not far from the centre of Forster and the lake side and the main beach. One of the reasons that we had booked this hotel online was that it was advertised as having a restaurant. However, on arrival we were informed that the restaurant had closed. The rooms were adequate and reasonably clean, but could... More
