Loved the staff as they were polite kinda and informative. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The recliner chairs made for an homely comfort. and the stars of the show.. deer…. Only downside is it’s tank water or slightly tinged colour so wanting to use the water for the kettle made us second guess and we brought some water bottles for the kettle and when you shower when another unit occupant is showering at the same time there is no water pressure. We didn’t get to mention to the owners as the office was closed when we checked out. But still amazing and would book over and over again! I recommend to my friends and family.

I definitely wouldn’t be staying here again. No information provided for late checkin which is very standard everywhere I’ve stayed. Zero shower pressure, felt like a tap. Received some random text to charge me a pet fee when I don’t have a pet. I enquired twice about this with no response. Also limited dining in the area and onsite restaurant is only open on certain days.

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.

Work in Progress at a Great Location
Great location and staff however it's an older property and has a few issues ie the hot water system needs upgrading. Rooms are being progressively updated to a higher standard.

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.

I did like the recliners - though a bit hard to get out of. The fan on the AC was weak. Would not have needed AC if there was a ceiling fan.

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.

The staff were very friendly and helpful . Room was spotless and the view breathtaking. The manager was kind enough to provide us with a list of local spots for dinner. We ate supper twice at the Grand Hotel Bistro in Dorrigo and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
