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.

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.

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.

The property needs updating and a lot of money spent to bring it up to the ambience of the area. It was a bed and shower. Did not like the deer being kept in such a small area!

Check out the sunrise
The place location allows you to wake up everyday to a marvellous landscape, colorful and full of life.
My wife is a frog and general wildlife enthusiast, so she got to experience all of it right outside the doorstep.

The rooms are sufficiently clean. The restaurant on site is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no cafe at the property. The closest shops are at Dorrigo town centre about a 7 min drive from the property with a number of good options, a pie shop, deli/ cafes and the local pub has a diverse menu using fresh produce.
Location is convenient to waterfalls, walking trails and picturesque lookouts.

beautiful view.
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.
