This is a pleasant place to stay, just 5 mins or so outside Bellingen. I particularly like the views towards the Dorrigo plateau from the small, covered verandah areas outside each room. The lower rooms have more uninterrupted views but the next level up I think has the KS beds. Beds are very soft which suits me but perhaps not everyone. The restaurant is not open every night, so a trip into town may be necessary. There are a couple of decent pubs and some other options.

Nice little place with newly renovated buildings . Spotless and we’ll maintain . Well stock supplies .
Would have been nice to have had breakfast as there is an onsite restaurant that is quite sole less and needs some life .
They require a credit card at check in which is fine but when they don’t accept your tap on one it is an issue and then to be told off like a two year old for not carrying a hard copy felt a bit rude .
I have never had an issue with other places so maybe time to upgrade your system .
Overall a nice stop over but could be so much better .

Beautiful vistas from my room looking over green manicured lawns to the eyes catching mountains of the Bellingen valley.
Although there was an outdoor setting on the patio, I thought a comfortable chair in the room would have been a nice addition.
My main complaint is that shower from the room next door was very noisy when in use.
A lovely shower in my room & the bed was super comfortable.
A fantastic addition was an excellent restaurant onsite although it did not serve breakfast.
The Lodge is about 5 minutes drive from Bellingen but that is a bonus allowing one to appreciate the lovely quiet & picturesque surroundings.
I loved my 2 night stay!

I hate writing bad reviews especially when the staff were so helpful BUT...! $280 per night for a tiny room that might be OK for New York or Tokyo But is certainly not OK for Bellingen regional New South Wales! Where were the fresh flowers, the fruit bowl, the bottle of Champagne? Nowhere to be seen! Likewise the towels until we rang reception! The free internet was useless and the kettle fused the wall electrics early on Sunday morning! The wash basin in the bathroom was so small you could hardly clean your teeth let alone have a shave! All new fittings but what was the architect thinking! Nice alpacas (3) and a pool we did not use! Grossly overpriced - wrong business model!

The room was clean and bed comfortable however, there was a large construction project about two rooms down which started at 7:30am and dampened the stay. We had a long drive the day before and wanted to sleep in and relax but couldn’t. No prior warning was provided regarding the noise from the machinery and hammering. When the front desk picked up the phone at 8:30am they apologised and informed me that the workers weren’t meant to start until 8:30am and that next time I would get a discount on a future stay. The person said they would tell the workers to stop but by then I just said forget it as the machinery was so loud that one could barely hear the other person on the other side of the phone and I just wanted to leave. The heater would also not turn on in room 16 so the room was freezing and the walls were so thin you could hear word for word the television and people chatting next door. If the staff had more consideration for their guests I would have recommended this place but I felt annoyed and unrested upon leaving.

You get to hand feed 3 funny alpacas,walk around the country side and take in the view.I found all the staff to be happy and helpful.Unfortunately missed out on the restaurant due to renovations that will be a great addition.Cant wait to come back when it’s open and maybe even try the glamping tents up across the mountain.Such a great place and really recommend it.

Great restaurant - varied menu! But it was closed Sunday and Monday morning also. I wished we’d known that when we booked the extra night as it meant going into town for dinner and breakfast which we hadn’t planned on after a big day trip. We were sad not to taste other dishes off the excellent menu. Loved the staff and alpacas and the pool

Lodge was 3-4 mins out of town with good amenities. We had a king bed in a spacious room. Microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge, TV etc. It has a pool and a well regarded restaurant. This was a very pleasant stay and will stay there again.

Check-in was easy at The Bellingen Valley Lodge. The staff were very friendly. The Lodge is located close the town (4 min drive) in very pleasant surroundings. The restaurant is open Wed - Sun and is recommended highly by the locals. The room was spacious and comfortable inc microwave, toaster, kettle etc and fridge. Has air con plus ceiling fan. Parking is directly outside each unit. Would recommend this Lodge. We will be staying here again.

The property is set on beautifully kept grounds with a lovely 360° view of the surrounding area. The alpacas are a quirky and unique addition to the accommodation.

We only stayed a night and were disappointed we couldn’t stay longer. Ingrid at reception was so helpful and lovely, the alpacas we loved!! The restaurant food for dinner and breakfast, delicious and affordable.
The only thing I would suggest if anything would be to add some live music or even just some speakers outside to where you eat at the terrace and maybe a couple has heaters but that’s really the only thing I could think of. The property is beautiful and close to the town centre. Loved our stay. Thank you Ingrid and team! Josh and Bianca.

Very pleasant stay: friendly and helpful staff, beautiful and quiet garden, lodge close to town and yummy restaurants, and close to Dorrigo National Park, which is certainly a must, a very pleasant stay indeed.

Bellingen beauty!

Lovely country hotel. Older style but very comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Great restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Beautiful food and great service. The hotel is in a gorgeous rural setting with rolling green hills and even llamas in the back yard. I recommend it and will stay again.

Loved the grounds, extensive lawns and alpacas!

Doors (2) to room did not seem secure at all.

New AC not working so old machine was used. It dripped water right at the back door. You had to dodge the droplets!
Despite this, I would return due to the lovely landscape, pool and alpaca.

Older rooms down the bottom are not good. But managers allowed us to relocate to newer rooms located up higher on the property, which are much more comfortable, lighter and modern.

No towels in room on arrival. Provided later on request. Room 10 very small, difficult to access at night (inadequate lighting, steep drop at side of access road, particularly difficult when the conference room attendees park so close to the corner of that room.) Room numbers impossible to read from car at night. Paintwork looking a bit tired.

Restaurant was excellent, food great but staff appeared to be short on numbers. Great view from the hotel. You charged me twice. I had to ring to get that refunded.

Lovely staff. Convenient location

We were pleasantly surprised with how accommodating the staff were. Called in advance so find out if we could have an early check in which was provided after shuffling rooms and no trouble at all. Restaurant staff were also delightful. Nothing was too much trouble and they gave us that feeling of warm country hospitality.
The only down side is that the walls seems as thin as paper so we could ‘almost’ hear everything on either side of us and even louder if someone decided to sit outside and smoke!
