Beautiful place to stay, the pool & poolside bar were very unexpected 10/10.
We didn’t eat at the restaurant but dropped in for a late cocktail, and I have to say x2 of the best cocktails I have ever had. The staff were extremely friendly and would definitely stay again🤘.

Couples weekend.
This was one of the best rooms we have stayed in. The room was so well appointed, every detail and convenience was thought of and addressed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the view to the mountains amazing. We will be back, without a doubt.

Nice little place with newly renovated buildings . Spotless and we’ll maintain . Well stock supplies .
Would have been nice to have had breakfast as there is an onsite restaurant that is quite sole less and needs some life .
They require a credit card at check in which is fine but when they don’t accept your tap on one it is an issue and then to be told off like a two year old for not carrying a hard copy felt a bit rude .
I have never had an issue with other places so maybe time to upgrade your system .
Overall a nice stop over but could be so much better .

Beautiful vistas from my room looking over green manicured lawns to the eyes catching mountains of the Bellingen valley.
Although there was an outdoor setting on the patio, I thought a comfortable chair in the room would have been a nice addition.
My main complaint is that shower from the room next door was very noisy when in use.
A lovely shower in my room & the bed was super comfortable.
A fantastic addition was an excellent restaurant onsite although it did not serve breakfast.
The Lodge is about 5 minutes drive from Bellingen but that is a bonus allowing one to appreciate the lovely quiet & picturesque surroundings.
I loved my 2 night stay!

Check whether restaurant is open
Beautiful location but we were disappointed that the restaurant is not open every day, which we were not aware of, in spite of trying to book through the hotel.

Chambre cosy, moderne et ultra propre, avec vue superbe sur le grand jardin, au calme, loin de la route. Piscine et jacuzzi bien. Deux bémols : - le wifi est quasi inexistant et pas trop de signal téléphone non plus ! - manque un évier pour repas dans la chambre.

Fijne schone kamer
Personeel heel vriendelijk. Kamer was netjes. Bed comfortabel. Op de site stond dat er een restaurant was. Het bleek dat het restaurant gesloten was op de dag dat wij er waren. Hadden we niet op de website zien staan. Vervelend want we hadden ons erop verheugd. Het zou overigens mooi zijn dat de buitenruimte wat meer aangekleed wordt. Nu ligt er overal onderhoudsvrij grind.
