I hate writing bad reviews especially when the staff were so helpful BUT...! $280 per night for a tiny room that might be OK for New York or Tokyo But is certainly not OK for Bellingen regional New South Wales! Where were the fresh flowers, the fruit bowl, the bottle of Champagne? Nowhere to be seen! Likewise the towels until we rang reception! The free internet was useless and the kettle fused the wall electrics early on Sunday morning! The wash basin in the bathroom was so small you could hardly clean your teeth let alone have a shave! All new fittings but what was the architect thinking! Nice alpacas (3) and a pool we did not use! Grossly overpriced - wrong business model!

We were greeted in a warm friendly manner. Our room was very clean, spacious and quiet. Even tho, there is a major upgrade of Bellingen Valley Lodge, this never impacted on our stay. Only a couple of minutes drive into pretty Bellingen town centre. Highly recommend.
