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 ended up in Nimbin late at night needed to find somewhere to stay. I searched the internet and…read morefound The Croftin Retreat and called to book a room. The gentleman on the phone gave me the directions on how to get there. I drove out of town and turned onto Crofton Road and followed it until I found the Crofton Retreat sign as instructed by the gentleman on the phone. I then turned right up a dark gravel road I started to get concerned that I will never be seen again. Thoughts of the Wolf Creek movie were racing through my mind. A lot of good that movie done for Australian tourism. I followed the gravel track to the end and that's when I realised I have reached my destination. The gentleman who I spoke to on the phone greeted me with his dog as I disembarked from my vehicle. He said his name was Wayne and his dogs name is Bear. He showed me to my room and left me be. The room was spacious and well set out. The bed was immaculately made and it was comfortable. I really liked the natural sawn log kitchenette. It was only in the morning when I woke up and went outside I noticed the true beauty of this place. It is located half way up a hill overlooking green paddocks and trees. I could easily relax here for another week but I have plans to keep. Just a tip for those who want to stay here, the internet or mobile service with virgin phones does not receive reception from inside the room. I had to walk out into the open to receive reception. There was not a problem with Telstra mobile gaining reception from the room. Four stars from me.
