Quiet, friendly, old world charm and reasonable who could ask for more!…read more This is my second stay here and as family are two doors down this makes the ideal accommodation. The old world charm of this place is like stepping back into the past and hearing the rooster crow of a morning reminds me of my childhood. The guys who are the owners and mangers of the lodge are very helpful and yet not intrusive. They quietly assist if there is a need. They cater very much so for the LGBT community. The rooms are large and have an ensuite. The bed is firm and comfortable. Tea, coffee, milk etc are supplied. The Internet is a bit spotty. You have to move around to find a signal. Sitting on the verandah of a morning you can hear all different kinds of birds. The lodge is walking distance to the town centre. Nimbin is very alternative. I will always stay here when coming to Nimbin, always pleasantly surprised.

This place is nothing short of awesome. In a way it was the service that I received when I arrived…read more The welcome was great, and when I checked out I even got a lift back into town so I didn't have to drag my bag up the hill. That only is deserving of a five star rating. The rooms were quite well stocked, and very comfortable. Not surprisingly it was pretty quiet, and I got a great nights sleep. The place is nothing short of beautiful, and they even have a great garden, and the country views are magnificent.

I really don't know how I haven't posted a review of this place. I thought I had. After leaving…read moreanother place in the area that was gross and disgusting I walked into this hotel and was so pleasantly surprised. It took me days to even realize it's a backpackers hotel. The place is so clean and chic with great amenities, one would never know! The rooms are great here although wouldn't recommend getting a basic room especially for 2 as they are very small. I got an upgraded room and it was white all over with a massive bathroom and rain fall shower, the pressure was to die for . It even had a tiny balcony which I enjoyed for my morning coffees. They have a communal kitchen that is kept immaculately even has L'occitane soap to wash your dishes. Complete kitchen and grill to cook with a fridge for storage. There's laundry, and a small lap pool great for dips as Byron Bay is quite humid. There also is room service, which is why it I thought it was a regular hotel. Free coffee and tea and filtered water. What else can one ask for? Yes its a little more expensive than some of the other places in the area but it's worth it.

There are three houses on the property, and a number of rooms in each (eight in the one I stayed in). Each house is very modern with a kitchen, dining areas, BBQ, etc. Ideally you would come here with a family for a birthday or something like that, but even from my experience it was worth heading back to.

Ever since following them on Insta and subsequently booking this B&B, I have been so excited for my…read morehoneymoon. After a gruelling 11hr drive (that should have been 7) thanks to the 2021 floods; we finally made it, checking in 3 hrs late. Geoff was very understanding and just told us to get there safely. He talked me into our room over the phone as he had already gone. It was quick and easy and we got to meet him in person the following day. He and Steven who manage 'The Shack' were absolutely lovely. Genuinely nice people that have their guests enjoyment at heart and obviously take pride in their work. Thank you for your hospitality. We arrived to rain, rain and more rain as the cute chalkboard in the parking area declared #sorryabouttherain. Waking up to more rain the next day however nothing could dampen my spirits. I was on honeymoon and about to try my much anticipated first breakfast. This was one of my main reasons for booking and it did not disappoint this day or any of the rest! Picking up your lovely wooden platter from the on-site kitchen (from 7:30am to 9:30am) to enjoy poolside or take back to your room. Varying fresh fruit, yoghurt, granola, bread to toast, the nicest blueberry jam, juice and the piece de resistance.... the daily surprise! From baked beans and chorizo to pot set eggs or.... my favourite... smoked salmon with avocado and boiled eggs. I was in culinary heaven! Sets you up for a great day of exploring the beautiful Byron Bay region or to enjoy after a sunrise visit to the Lighthouse. Each afternoon we had freshly made muffins waiting for us for afternoon tea. The Belongil (Lamandra) room has a private entrance stairway and spacious terrace overlooking the pool. The bathroom is stunning with subway tiles and hints of green. Even a little ceramic frog which reminded us of home as we always find green tree frogs in our toilet haha. The room was replenished daily with fresh towels and toiletries and it's always nice to come back to a made bed. Thankfully the ominous chalkboard was incorrect and we enjoyed blue skies for the remainder of our stay. Allowing us to take advantage of the pool as well as the short walk to Belongil Beach. Our room had a kitchenette but you can access the kitchen to prepare food if needed (as common courtesy please clean up your own mess) as well as a washer and dryer nearby. My only issues would be the loose external door handle and the pillows. Firmer than I'm used to but still a comfortable sleep. My partner was also hit on the head/shoulders from a falling piece of slate in the pool area. No harm was done and we had a good laugh.

I have never met a bad Ben. Yes, it would be easy to think I'm a little biased, but to that I say…read moreAu contraire, mon ami -- it actually means that I'm a very hard marker on any namesake I run across. And Ben that manages the Beachcomber is the duck's nuts, he is deadset the friendliest, most helpful bloke in the southern hemisphere. Nothing we asked was too much trouble. He paused when I asked him for a back rub, but to his credit sucked it up and got on with it. The resort has a motel-type feel but it's all spotlessly clean, and the pool and spa, while not getting the most sun in the world, are cracking to kick back in. With a beer. And some Playmates, if you can get them. The real winner here? The sneaky little sand track across the disused railway lines through a short stretch of bush to the beach. Felt exactly like I was in Stand By Me. I freaking love that movie.

This was one of the few places open at Murwillumbah on a long weekend. The food was OK and we were…read moreable to sample the local ale here too. There was no problem with parking in the street since so little was open. It was doing a roaring trade with the TAB and the drinkers who unfortunately were smokers too. While we were eating our meals the smokers were not wandering far enough away from the eating area. The service was good and we even got a second visit when we were nearing the end of our meal to see if we were OK. Look out for discounted meals. Some motels will offer a ticket that will give you the second meal half price.

The friendly staff understood this and saw to it that our meals were brought to us quickly. We both ordered whiting with chips and a glass of white wine. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked in a good batter, the chips were tasty and the salad was a great bonus, rivalling any side salad that I have had of late. It was a good, generous meal, the wine was well chilled and all was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend the food and the hospitality there and look forward to another visit.

It is just one of those places that will stick with you for a long time, the food melts in your mouth, wine is to die for and the ambience is everything and some that has you leaving very happy indeed. I was lucky to have a father-daughter lunch and a disclaimer my daughter went to school with the owner's daughter and that aside this is an objective review. Hats off to all staff and I just love the coffee van at the entrance and the amenities were spotless given this Covid crisis you would expect nothing less. Looking forward to returning.

The only downside was being asked to leave after 90 minutes...our waiter had just offered coffee when the "hostess" arrived with the bill and stated they had another party waiting for the table....My husband was in fact up paying the bill. I might suggest in the future that if you have overbooked your tables you invite your guests to enjoy coffee or an aperitif in the bar....maybe even on the house. Sure would be better public relations than having six offended guests each tell six more potential guests where they might get a good meal and not be hustled out the door like Hungry Jacks. I won't be back!

Well, that wasn't the case with me as I just came here for a beer, but the staff were pretty cool with that so I'd have to give them some credit. It's a nice little place out of the way of most of the action that happens around Byron Bar, and it is also rather quiet, meaning that I can just sit here and relax. Mind you, they do have table service, which is something slightly different.
