The ultimate in fine lodging, Galway Downs is set on 12 rural hectares with 430 metres of absolute waterfront in the 'country lane' atmosphere of Coomba Park south of Forster on Australia's Holiday Coast, just three and a half hours easy drive north of Sydney – or fly in by seaplane from Rose Bay, Cronulla or Palm Beach direct to our private jetty.

Rural Lakeside Setting

A small Suffolk sheep stud, grazing cattle and dams abounding in native ducks and roaming geese complete Galway Downs’ rural lakeside setting.

Guests are encouraged to relax and unwind in an atmosphere of gracious tranquillity.

There are small boats for guests to use and there are the many forms of watersport and recreation available on the property or locally.

A saltwater swimming pool, for which luxurious robes and bath sheets are provided, overlooks the lake.

Cast in a line or read a book where grasses fall to the water’s edge and tall trees shade ferns and wild violets.
