The resort was very clean and tidy. The room was well appointed and bed was very comfortable. Plenty of room to spread-out. The supplied continental breakfast was ok but the bread for toasting was very dry and stale. The outside grounds were very well kept and a credit to the ground's keeper. The property is out of town and has lovely views. I would happily stay again.

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

This was my first motel stay and it wasn’t to my usual standard. Accommodation requires modernisation (furniture and fabric), and some exterior lighting to be more welcoming after dark.

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!

What an unexpected gem of a hotel. The rooms could have been slightly nicer (maybe some art on the walls or something to brighten the space)? That’s my only complaint. Otherwise, the WiFi worked great, the staff super friendly and the area was well taken care of and very relaxing. I stayed for only one night while passing through the area but can see returning if spending a week exploring the nearby parks and waterfalls.

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.

Excellent place for a quiet and peaceful retreat at Dorrigo. Excellent view. Short distance to town and to scenic sites including waterfalls. Griffith lookout is only a few minutes' drive away and a fabulous view of the Great Dividing Range - during sunrise or sunset.
