We love a night at the theatre, seeing an exhibition at the National Gallery, National Museum or Old Parliament House and that’s just to name a few of the attractions we enjoy. What surprised you during your stay at Forrest this time? I was so surprised to learn that you also have one and two-bedroom apartments available; after staying here for 10 years I had no idea and enjoyed the extra facilities. What did you enjoy about your one-bedroom apartment? We loved the full-size kitchen comfortable living space and laundry facilities in the apartments, we also found the B-B-Q area and landscaped gardens very pleasant. We didn’t realize that you offered a discounted members rate on your website. We will book next time. Thank-you for the Chat 😍
