Lombok On Waterfall Retreat Studio
The Studio is located in the magnificent Bellingen Valley 12 min from Dorrigo National Park with its pristine waterfalls and hiking trails and 12 minutes from Bellingen township. Lombok on Waterfall Studio is fully self-contained and caters for 4 people or a family with children. Entry to the Studio is through a private garden bordered by tropical plants which leads to a private deck where Lombok Studio awaits you. Directions to Lombok on Waterfall Retreat: Lombok is positioned exactly halfway (14 kms each way) between the townships of Bellingen and Dorrigo. Our entrance is directly off the award winning Waterfall Way Tourist Route. Waterfall Way joins the Pacific and New England highways. Lombok is 1km up the Dorrigo mountain on the left hand side, after the Thora General Store if driving from Bellingen. If you are driving down the mountain from Dorrigo and you have reached the store, you have passed us. Go back up the hill 1km and you will find Lombok. Balinese flags will greet you at our entrance.

Run down, hard to get issues sorted
Inside accomodation nice but cleaner still there when I turned up so had to wait outside for 15 mins. I arrived after 2pm. Deck was then wet and took hours to dry so I couldn't us it. Only one of two pedestal fans in brms worked. Outside needs a really gd clean up. Very snaky, mosquito ridden, leaves all over the place. Outside laundry shed full of cobwebs, clearly not cleaned in ages. Traffic noise loud as accomodation right next to road. No hot water on day I left. Rang, emailed, texted and 2 hrs later issue not resolved, no one had turned up, so had to leave without having a shower and washing my hair. Poor service. Not worth the cost

No view from doors or windows .. granny flat
Comfortable property and responsive owner.
Property doesn’t have view from the windows or doors if you are expecting to have a view of the hills or pastures it’s not the place for you.. was a bit tired and outdoor deck wasn’t clean .. it was raining most of the time so the house wasn’t the best to stay indoors..

Peaceful & quiet
Mother daughter getaway. We enjoyed Dorrigo & Bellingen. Great position tucked away.
Beautiful natural setting, clean home with comfy beds. Bathroom is off the lounge with very small vanity basin, a bit awkward but we loved our stay.

Lovely Balinese inspired house
This is a very well presented Asian inspired house located in rainforests between Bellingen and Dorrigo on the Waterfall way. It was very welcoming, with comfortable lounges and well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were large and the beds were relaxing. The decor was impressive and the bathroom had everything necessary together with a really nice shower. There was air conditioning as well as fans. We had a great stay and are happy to recommend Lombok.

Very comfy
Good size property with air con which was great as we had a 40degree day. The name and location and details was a bit confusing as i was under the impression that we could walk places from the accom (like river etc) which you definitely couldn't. But i was very comfy and slept so well

Readers and Writers Festival Getaway
The property is great for a little escape from the hustle and bustle and would be particularly lovely in summer when the rainforest provides welcome shade. You're right in nature here with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy different areas.
The studio is private and spacious
The kitchen is well equipped
Unfortunately the hot water in the shower stopped running and also became hot
The road traffic could be heard easily

Not quite what we were expecting.
The property was a good 12 minutes out of Belligen and more for us with all the road works. But there was no view. A tin garden shed was positioned right in front of the verandah. The road was only a few metres away with a lot more traffic than I would have expected for a country road. The WiFi was limited and you were not permitted to download movies. The bathroom was completely separate to the bedrooms and you had to walk through the living room to reach it. The inside of the Studio was attractive but it was not a luxury experience staying there.

It was a really beautiful part of NSW that was also ideal for our dog Daisy. The host of the property was very accommodating with anything that we required including fresh eggs from her chooks.

Our stay at the property was lovely there were a couple of hiccups that couldn’t be avoided such as an unscheduled power outage. The property was lovely and clean and the hosts very friendly.
There were many thoughtful touches however our only recommendation would be supplying coffee for the coffee plunger.

Convenient spot and clean, modern accommodation
We enjoyed the pretty setting of Lombok on Waterfall which is half way between Dorrigo & Bellingen. Accommodation was very clean, modern & comfy & hosts easy to deal with. Note that during the day there is a bit of traffic noise from Waterfall Way to which the Studio cottage is very close. It’s a good idea to take your own dvds or downloaded viewing to watch as there is limited bandwidth on the site.
