The Folly is our home away from home, the perfect place to relax in comfort and style and enjoy all the area has to offer. Green Point is surrounded by Booti Booti National Park, is situated on the beautiful Wallis Lake and close to many stunning beaches within easy driving distance.
The Barrington Coast boasts some of the best beaches in the world which are perfect for either surfing and/or swimming.
There is a beach to suit all the family!
Bring your fishing gear and fish at the bottom of the property or, as there are two kayaks provided, you can fish while paddling around the Lake. Small boats can be beached in front of the property.
The ‘armchair’ views of the Lake from the Folly and the spectacular sunsets might see you not leaving the property but there are a lot of activities in the area to satisfy you and your family’s needs.
On a clear night the stars are quite magnificent in this area as there is no light pollution to interrupt the star gazing.
10 minutes will see you at the local shopping mall with Woolworths, Coles and Aldi and 15 minutes into Forster/Tuncurry for more shopping, eating and drinking! There is also a movie theatre which shows the latest movies.
Forster boasts one of the best locations on the NSW coast for dolphin and whale watching during their annual migration. Bird watching is also a popular local pastime given the variety of natural habitats in the area.
As illustrated in the photos, the Folly is:
A modern, architecturally designed home with floor to ceiling glass windows facing the lake and blue gum wood floors throughout.
The main floor has large open plan living area, dining table with seating for 10, lounge area with stereo system, iPod dock, flat screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen and a Weber gas BBQ (in a separate area outside the back door). On this floor there is one large bedroom (queen bed, ensuite, built in wardrobes, ceiling fan) with sliding doors onto the balcony.

There are also two other bedrooms (double beds, built in wardrobes, ceiling fans). A separate shower room & toilet is adjacent to these bedrooms. There is a deck with outdoor furniture, table and chairs for eating al fresco, and plenty of books to read for those down-time moments.

On the floor below is another bedroom we call the ‘bunk room’. It has two single beds and one set of bunks, ideal for children or for friends that want to share. There is also the laundry room with Miele washing machine, a clothes dryer, shower and toilet.

A second deck, a pool table, a flat screen TV, a DVD player complete with a number of DVD’s, and a number of games and puzzles for your use, complete this area.

There is a level enclosed backyard and beyond the gate are stairs and a path that lead down to the lake front where the kayaks are stored.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need for that gourmet meal or BBQ. In the larder you will find basic condiments and a few food items, please feel free to use these. There is a water filter, although the tap water here is of top quality and perfectly drinkable.

There is also a table tennis table (bats/balls supplied), a dart board (supply your own darts) plus a few water sports items (some left by previous guests) in a room adjacent to the BBQ. Please use with fun and care.

This property is situated in a quiet residential area and is not suitable for groups seeking to party, school leavers or schoolies. It is the peace and tranquillity of the area that will make this the most memorable holiday.

The house was lovely, it had a great outlook and LOTS of space. The kitchen had lots more appliances and cutlery, plates etc than I thought it would have. There were plenty of roomy bedrooms each with easy access to a bathroom. My only negative was that I thought that the beds were small, I'd swear they were doubles ... but then I'm used to sleeping on a king size. Having access to the kayaks extended the enjoyment out onto the shallow lake. The separate games and TV floor gave a bit more privacy if you wanted to retreat or just play some pool ! All up, a great house with generous features in a location close to the lake with a short drive into Forster shops.

Nice family getaway which is close to Foster town centre but far away enough that you can unwind. Nice views of the lake with direct water access. Kids had a good time with games, cards and snooker table.

Beautiful house, peaceful location

Beautiful house, peaceful location

We had a great stay at The Folly for Xmas 2014. Even with 5 adults and 3 kids there was plenty of room. The house is beautiful - great indoor and outdoor spaces, a fully equipped kitchen (including some pantry staples), a generous selection of books and DVDs and comfortable beds. Over the week we had a mix of weather - when it was warm the lake was calm and cool, and when it was rainy the pool table and DVDs got a workout. Not necessarily suitable for people with poor mobility. There are lots of stairs inside the house and down to the lake. Overall though, I'd strongly recommend The Folly - we'll certainly be back!

What a wonderful place for a relax. We loved the place, the view was wonderful, particularly the sunsets and we had great fun paddling in the kayaks, although the swans refused to let us come near them!A huge place, more than enough for all five of us and would easily accommodate eight. If you do visit, there is a wonderful cafe just down the road that serves a perfect, city-quality coffee and a wonderful mix of cakes - we didn't find it until almost too late.

Thank you Jane!!"What a fantastic place! Everything about it was perfect - specially beatifull candles for my wife, plenty of room and great location right on the water. We spent a weekend here with family and everyone just enjoyed it. We spent most of our time in the entertain room playing snooker watching moovies. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a perfect place to relax with family and friends. Once again Thanks to Jane.

7 older adults stayed for the October long weekend. The property was clean, well-equipped and comfortable, with everything we needed. We provided our own bathroom linen and food and had a truly memorable time during the 3 nights we stayed. We thought the price was very reasonable and the owner was pleasant and efficient to deal with.
