Parking was easy. Kitchen needs more plates, there was only 1 desert spoon and no microwavable dishes. Outdoor seating was a bit too close to other rooms, I realise this is for ease for cleaning staff but perhaps they could leave an empty room in between until it's needed

Great location, property is a bit dated but clean overall. Booked this one at a premium because it was advertised as inclusive of breakfast which did not turn out to be true. Being a small town, breakfast options were expensive as well, felt cheated by the experience

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a really lovely experience overall! The room was clean, cosy, and well-maintained, and the location was perfect for what we needed. The bed was comfortable, and the ambiance made it easy to relax and unwind. The only small downsides were that the kettle was in poor condition (could use a replacement), and the room didn’t have a mirror outside the bathroom—which would’ve been convenient. Despite that, we truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Cozy mountain top retreat.

Great spot to enjoy the Dorrigo mountains and waterfalls. Spacious room with bright washroom and many amenities for a comfortable stay, including nice bed and Lazyboy chairs! The Bellingen Pasta dinner on Friday/Saturday night is delicious and handy, as there are no cooking facilities.
