    Why book this Forresters Beach Airbnb direct?

    No booking or service fees

    Airbnb typically adds 14–20% in guest service fees on top of the nightly rate. Book direct with Kim and that money stays in your holiday budget.

    Talk directly to your host

    Every enquiry goes straight to Kim — an Airbnb Ambassador and Superhost — so you get faster answers, flexible arrival times and local tips before you arrive.

    Same cottage, same 5-star experience

    This is the same Forresters Beach Airbnb listing you'll find online — 4 bedrooms, sleeps 10, 3-minute walk to the surf, pet-friendly and rated Guest Favourite.

    Better cancellation conversations

    Plans change. Deal with Kim directly rather than an app support queue.

    Local extras

    Firewood tips, cot/high-chair loans, dog beach directions, dinner reservations — the sort of help a platform can't offer.

    A short term holiday rental at Forresters Beach

    Looking for a short term rental or holiday house at Forresters Beach rather than a hotel? There are no resorts here — just a quiet residential pocket of the NSW Central Coast between Wamberal and Bateau Bay. Forries Beach Cottage is a whole 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach house for your group only: a queen ensuite, a king room and two bunk rooms, sleeping 10 (up to 18), a 3-minute walk (300 m) from the sand.

    Stay for a weekend, a school-holiday week or longer. You get a full kitchen, covered BBQ deck, spacious bushland-backed backyard, off-street parking and room for the dog — the things that make a holiday rental better than a hotel room. Terrigal and Avoca are about 10 minutes away. Read more about the Forresters Beach holiday rental or browse Forresters Beach holiday house.

Take the Tuggerah or Wyong exit, then follow signs toward The Entrance and Forresters Beach. Free off-street parking for two vehicles. No tolls after the M1.

    How many people does the cottage sleep, and is it suitable for groups?
    Designed to sleep 10 guests comfortably across 4 bedrooms — ideal for extended families, two families travelling together, or a group of friends. With eight bunk beds in total, you could squeeze in a couple more if everyone is happy to share the facilities — perfect if you want to recapture the magic of childhood sleepover parties. Open-plan living and outdoor entertaining areas are designed for large groups.
    Is it suitable for a couples' romantic getaway?
    Absolutely. The cottage offers a quiet, unhurried retreat away from the crowds — wake up to kookaburras in the paperbark canopy, enjoy morning coffee on the deck, and take a 3-minute barefoot walk to one of the Central Coast's most peaceful beaches. The ensuite bedroom opens to the beauty of the open decking and garden wonderland outside.
    What are the best things to do near Forresters Beach?
    Surfing on excellent reef breaks; the Wyrrabalong Coastal Walk to Bateau Bay through national park; the Bouddi Coastal Walk from Putty Beach to Macmasters; Crackneck Lookout; the Terrigal Skillion; whale watching from May to November; kayaking and snorkelling at Shelley Beach and Macmasters; family dining and pelican feeding at The Entrance. In the evenings, enjoy live music and entertainment at the many clubs, hotels and bars across the Central Coast. Weekends also bring great markets up and down the coast. Check our What's On events calendar to see the latest happenings by clicking on the date — but always refer to the event link to confirm details before you go.
    What amenities does the cottage include?
    4 bedrooms designed to sleep 10 comfortably (with eight bunk beds so you could squeeze in a couple more if everyone is happy to share the facilities), 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with all the cooking pots, pans, utensils and facilities you need to prepare a great dinner party — plus dinnerware and settings, oven, microwave, dishwasher, air conditioning, washing machine and dryer, free high-speed Wi-Fi, front courtyard, side and back decks with BBQ, outdoor shower, free parking for 2+ vehicles, all linen and towels provided.
    Is it good for a family holiday with young children?
    Yes — one of the best-set-up family properties on the Central Coast. 3 minutes from Forresters Beach with patrolled beaches at Shelly, Wamberal and Terrigal nearby. Fully equipped kitchen, spacious indoor/outdoor living, and family-friendly attractions like national park bush walks and pelican feeding at The Entrance. Read our reviews to hear how families love the cottage.
    When is the best time to book for school holidays?
    The Central Coast is in peak demand over summer — the December school holidays, Christmas/New Year and all of January book out first, followed by Easter and long weekends. We recommend enquiring 3–6 months ahead for Christmas/New Year stays and 2–3 months ahead for January and Easter. Outside the summer school holidays the Coast is quieter and often offers better availability and value.
