Spent the June long weekend and had a lovely time. All the staff very friendly and locals as well. Room was nice with a very comfortable bed and lovely veranda for our morning cuppas. Entertainment at the hotel was great it was nice to sit outside on a Sunday afternoon and listen to some music. Food was nice with good amount of choices. Wonderful location we will definitely be back.

Another delicious lunch. Our group enjoy lunch here every year to celebrate our loved one's life. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly and prompt. We enjoyed the lamb pita greek salad bowl, fish & chips, cheeseburger, steak, chicken souvlaki and chicken burger. All meals were served quickly and were very nice. Thank you, we look forward to returning next year.

I visited Lakes & Ocean Hotel on Sunday for a meal and had a great experience. It was very busy , clearly a popular spot. Even with the crowd, there was still room to eat outside. The surf and turf was excellent. The steak was cooked well, the seafood was fresh and generous, and the overall portion size was satisfying. A solid pub meal done properly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Forster, especially on a Sunday when you can grab a table outside. Good views outside

Great pub. Group of 6. We all loved our meals. We were visiting from Melbourne so the boys watched AFL in a great little room away from the trivia night noise. Excellent venue.
