Grand Riviera Forster is an absolute waterfront holiday house located 3 hours north of Sydney on the exclusive canal waterways in Forster Keys. It has easy access to the beautiful waters of Wallis Lake and the Pacific Ocean. The connecting bridge of the twin towns Forster-Tuncurry is one of the most natural and scenic water wonderlands in NSW. A water haven surrounded by beaches for all your fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking, jet skiing, snorkeling and 4WD activities.
Grand Riviera is on a private tranquil setting which offers guests the flexibility to cook, eat, play and stay together. An interactive alternative opposed to staying in separate hotel rooms or camping sites which limits guests to cooking and entertaining facilities.

The backyard is child friendly with a locked gate before the wharf. You can launch your boat from Piper's creek public boat ramp located 1 minute away then moor your boat along the private 10m x 3m wharf.

Yes this is a property for the ages with host that is welcoming and understanding.Honestly if just stay home for your holiday its worth it lovely clean property and very comfortable We loved it and highly recommend A
Convenience of being able to moor the boat at the backdoor. A short drive (or walk) to the shops, and beautiful local beaches. Surrounded by National Parks. We also loved having the pool for some downtime..
Beautiful location and very well presented house. House was also very well stocked. We would definitely return in the future if we are holidaying in Forster again.
The property was in a nice location, close to everything you could need. It was clean and tidy with all the amenities you could ask for. Checking in and out was simple, easy and contact free. It was a great stay.
Great property and space for all. Kids can swim, fish whilst you sit back and relax. Shops are close
Great property and space for all. Kids can swim, fish whilst you sit back and relax. Stockland is very close as are a bakery, small cnr ship and cellar which are a 4 min walk.

You and your daughter were fabulous guests to host. Thank you for the review and can't wait to hodt both of you again.
It was a great property for our family get together. Everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The beds were comfy, there is room to move, It's a great place to fish, use a paddle board, relax and enjoy a BBQ and watch the sunset within a nice quiet location. Our communication with the owner was excellent, clear and easy instructions on check in and check out. We are more than happy to recommend this property, and would definitely stay again in the future. Thank you Trish ☺️

Thanks Jodie for being perfect guests. I highly commend you for your impeccable cleanliness after you left. We were very impressed how honorable you treated our home. So greatly appreciative to you and your family!
My family of 8 in the age range 19-80, spent a wonderful week at the Grand Riviera. The weather wasn't kind at first, but it didn't matter, as there was plenty to keep us all happy. With our boat moored on the private wharf, fishing was great and swimming in the beautiful pool were 2 of the favourites. There were enough family rooms for everyone to have their own space.The host, Trish, was great and very prompt and obliging.We all would love to stay again.

the house was fabulous everything we needed
6 of us stayed at the house for a week, it was so nice to be able to tie the boat to the back wharf, come and go as we pleased, also fished late at night sitting in chairs, best time to catch fish we found though was very late at night. Take plenty of aeroguard though mozzies are relentless. The house was fabulous, we enjoyed our holiday very much, thankyou Trish for all your help also with lots of questions beforehand.
We loved this holiday home especially the pool and outside area on the canal. My family love fishing and we caught 2 mud crabs and a few little fish, which our granddaughter loved especially when the pelicans came over for a look. The pool was beautiful and there were plenty of spaces for us all to have time out. aged from 1 to 85 (nice and flat for my father, he could easily get in and out of the pool with the handrails too. There was everything we needed, with easily marked cupboards and drawers and plenty of parking for the 3 vehicles. We had wonderful weather and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here celebrating my fathers 85th birthday,
From the moment we walked in to this property we knew we were welcomed. The house was very clean and warmly presented with everything and anything you needed. The outlook was awesome and the kids loved the back deck and took advantage to do some fishing and swimming. The beds were so comfortable and bathroom was huge. There was 8 of us and we didn't feel crowded at all. The proximity of the property was great we could walk to local shops for snacks/drinks and the shopping centre was not far away. We have been coming to Forster for years and this was the first time we've stayed in a holiday home and it was great!! We would love to come back again some time soon...Thanks for having us

Thank you Diane! You are so lovely and we would welcome you back to stay any time.
The Grand Riviera was an absolutely perfect choice for our 7 family members, and what an amazing weekend we had! The location is fantastic, we had a great lunchtime meal at The Lakes and Oceanview Hotel and the communication from Trish before and after our stay was excellent. We chose the spot for a getaway for my Dads 80th birthday we stayed 3 nights but wished we had longer! The location is absolutely amazing, the house was clean, spacious and the beds so comfortable. The kitchen has absolutely everything you can think of and is so well equipped, as for the outdoor area (which we did spend most of our time!) has a perfect pool which looks out onto the canal and what a view!
Outdoor area is so spacious BBQ area and plenty of seating for all to watch the beautiful sunset! Dining area was exactly what we needed too and the air hockey was a good laugh!
We also had a fantastic time fishing off the back jetty definitely another place to chill and take in the view.
All in all this is definitely a 5/5 to stay and there is no doubt we will be back! Pure relaxation!!
We loved staying at this property it was exactly like it is advertised. The hosts have thought of everything you could ever need during your stay. The property easily accommodated our 3 families in comfort with 3 sitting areas, plenty to do with the air hockey table to the pool.
We will definitely be back.

Hi Katrina. Thank you for this lovely review. It means a lot to hear you had a good experience and would come back :)
A very relaxing location, with plenty of spaces to spread out as a group of all ages. The outdoor area is the highlight, with beautiful views from the deck. A great get away. Plus the Host was communicative and helpful.
Great location and Perfect home for our family stay
Could not fault anything with the property , felt very comfortable being there . Loved that our son could put his tinny in and go fishing at his leisure . Trish was easy to communicate with and very accomodating when I had a slight delay at check out time . Will definitely return .
