New hands at Forster Palms

The motel has recently changed hands and new owner, Forster Bowling Club, has already started giving rooms a makeover as well as sprucing up the grounds and pool area.

"If you have stayed before, you will find it a renewed experience with an improved service, food options and friendly staff," Forster Bowling Club Group chief executive Damian Clements said.

The motel offers seniors packages for six nights which include meals and day tours to places such as the koala hospital, museums, pottery workshops, a herb farm and fudge factory.

The tour also includes a dolphin cruise and is $749 per person twin share.

There is also a two-day package for $249 per person twin share which includes accommodation, meals and the dolphin cruise.
