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.

Disappointed with retreat. Firstly they advertised kitchenette. There was not even a knife to cut a tomato. Also a BBQ can be used for a FEE. Shower head has no pressure and you have to waste 5 minutes of water just trying regulate the temperature.
