This is a lovely little hotel, it has charm, was very clean. It had all the needs covered. Close to a pub if needed. We extended for another night, and it was no problem. Also, a really nice continental breakfast was unexpected. Loved it.

Each cabin is kept nicely private from its neighbours though the walls are quite thin so noise travels through easily.

The rooms are comfortable and clean, the only drawback is that it says it includes breakfast but the reality is that it only has a cereal and bread, so it is better not to trust if you are going to stay here and look for a place to have breakfast nearby.

Great place to stay near alstonville. Incredibly helpful service by Frances at a time of high pressure due to the Lismore floods. Thanks for all your help. Very nice garden rooms for those travelling or for a few days.

The Unit itself was very clean and enjoyable BUT the bed seemed broken and very uncomfortable. When I pay to sleep somewhere, you want a nice bed. Maybe they need to invest on some new beds for peoples comfort.
