The room was clean, easy access to the room and car parking. Beautiful outlook and peaceful setting. Good location near Dorrigo National Park. The only negative in our room was the shower, the pressure and temperature needs to be improved.

Parking was easy. Kitchen needs more plates, there was only 1 desert spoon and no microwavable dishes. Outdoor seating was a bit too close to other rooms, I realise this is for ease for cleaning staff but perhaps they could leave an empty room in between until it's needed
