Bernadette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Beautiful location, serene atmosphere, quite & comfy rooms with all facilities.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
Tiong We, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Janet, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our host was super friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful although not close to shops, restaurants etc. 35 minute drive to Bellingen or 10 minutes to Dorrigo CBD. No on-site restaurant but a lovely bar with a fireplace. Something different was the deer enclosure, and watching them get fed. We took our own alcohol and nibbles, and had plenty of lovely spots to sit in the grounds and relax with an afternoon drink or two. Parking directly outside yoir room was very convenient. Room was cosy with AC and electric blankets on bed, two recliners to sit and watch TV plus a small dining table as well. A lovely touch was some sour dough bread, condiments and fruit for a complimentary breakfast, with tea and coffee making facilities. All in all a relaxing stay with beautiful mountain views.
Kylie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely motel in country setting

Last-minute booking for an overnight stay. The accommodation offers a motel-style layout with some recent renovations. While the setting is picturesque and tranquil, the soundproofing between rooms is inadequate, allowing conversations from adjacent rooms to be easily heard.
JONATHAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay if you like nice mountain views and easy access to Dorrigo National Park. The room was very comfortable, with two recliners and an electric blanket on the bed.
