Where to eat and stay in Forster

55 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Forster, New South Wales — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 55 venues in Forster — 38 places to eat and 17 to stay. That makes it the 47th-largest of the 1903 towns and suburbs we cover in New South Wales, carrying 0% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 32% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Forster eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 12 cafés, 14 restaurants, 10 takeaways, 1 bars and 1 pubs.

20 of the 38 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (3), burger (3) and chinese (3). Relative to the rest of the country Forster is unusually strong on chinese, pizza and burger — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 5 publish opening hours (9%), 2 are recorded as step-free and 7 have outdoor seating. That trails the 17% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, Forster runs to 17 listings — 1 hotels, 8 motels, 1 hostels, 1 serviced apartments and 6 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 47% of the town's accommodation. Accommodation is 31% of everything mapped here, well above the 25% national share — the signature of a place that hosts more visitors than it has residents.

Places of a similar size — Macquarie Park (55), Lismore (55), Warwick (55) and Chermside (55) — average 15% accommodation. Forster runs at 31%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. No venue in Forster yet carries the six recorded attributes needed for its own page, so the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
