Hotel a Smiths Creek

“The views were absolutely stunning. The property was extremely peaceful and calming. The beds were very comfortable and the unit in general superseded our expectations. The host was tremendously communicative and set us up for a lovey, peaceful, and relaxing stay! ”

“Loved it. Gorgeous wee motel.. the nicest motel i've ever stayed at actually.”

“First of all the location is excellent… right in the middle of the rainforest, although the drive up there is not for the faint hearted. My room was very basic, which was expected. The thing I didn’t like was that the door to the deck didn’t seal at all, so when the wind blew at night it rattled the blinds and kept me awake. Parking spots are very tight for even a modest size car. Food options were limited and expensive. If you are not in a self catering unit you run out of choices quickly. I...

“Excellent! The place to stay and enjoy easy lifestyle.”

“It was OK.”

“Good wee spot, can't complain whatsoever. 10/10. Fun fact, it's the Inbetweeners hostel. Legit only realised this when I rocked up. One thing I would recommend is some recycling bins.”

“What a find. Quiet secluded luxury property comprising originally two houses, now a high end function venue. Beautifully kept grounds and interiors. Great amenities and nice pool area. 12 mins drive from B Bay. Top marks.”

“We had the pleasure of staying in villa #1. The space was perfect for our needs and the outlook was peaceful and relaxing. Bangalow township is less than a 5 minute drive or a leisurely walk of 20 minutes.”

“Great stay clean rooms. Would recommend”

“Close to town, easy walk. Lovely view of mountains.”

“There are no staff. This is a self-serve property. It works quite well. But the walls are incredibly thin. A person talked - not shouting or fighting, just talking - for 3 hours non-stop in the room next to us (finally stopping at 2am) and I could hear every word. The person in the room on our other side thought it was us (so could hear it 2 rooms away!) and was kicking the walls until I shouted that it was another room. Onsite staff would be useful in a case like that.”

“Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat is a hidden sanctuary. We hit the jackpot when we were searching for accommodation in the area to attend a wedding. Its location is nothing short of spectacular and the 360 views are breathtaking. Hosts Craig and Paul were so warm and welcoming, and a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Our room had such a comfortable bed with everything we needed and many more extras. The deck was made for unwinding with a daybed and hammock inviting you to linger and...

“Bathroom had mould on the ceiling”

“Arrived late to our room, check in was still seem less and the room was excellent. More than we expected.”

“Ostello chic (anche per il prezzo!!), posizione perfetta per centro e spiaggia. Belli gli spazi comuni. Bagni comuni puliti”

“It’s a great location and nice vibe. Just two things: 1. The bed is up very steep spiral staircase… toilet is downstairs. If you go to the loo in the middle of the night take care! 2. The spare pullout bed was crazy uncomfortable, saggy middle and blocks access to the front door. I gave this feedback and got a slightly passive aggressive response. Much better to just sleep on the bench couch downstairs if you have to.”
