    Another reading light in Bed would be useful. Noisy hot water pipes from next door room.

    Beautiful decor and colour scheme. Very comfy beds. Loved the herbal teas and body wash! Loved the use of free comfy bikes. Great location.

    We ended up having 4 nights here and it was perfect. We made full use of the bikes and explored the area which is beautiful. Staff were fantastic and even let us use bikes and beach towels after we checked out . Would definitely go back. Also great coffee from coffee cart !

    We were only there for one night, had no complaints! Can't rate staff as we didn't interact with anyone while there due to the coded check in process - but that wasn't a negative in my opinion!

    Nicely done up rooms, very comfortable! Great location, even better the coffee van just downstairs. Easy check-in process with the text sent through.

    Such a lovely, super cool place to stay. The addition of the bikes to use really added to my Kingscliff adventure. A great location, super comfy with everything you need.

    If I had to I wished we were a bit closer to the restaurants down the road but most deliver so not that bigger deal.

    I loved that we can take my German Shephard and we are 5 mins from the beach

    The traffic was a little noisy in the morning and we arrived late so parked on the street. Took a few goes to work out how to lock the door

    It was very quirky and the room was a great size, toaster, kettle and microwave, milk and tea and coffee , also a great little coffee van out front too, bed was comfortable too easy access

    I feel that this wasn’t a very child friendly space in terms of the doors. My 2 year old daughter was tall enough to reach the handle & because of this there was no child safety latches. Even if you click down the latch on the door it opens with the pull of the handle so I had to put the wooden bench against the door & stack our luggage on it so my daughter could reach it. Also, the shower pressure wasn’t the best & the temperature was very hard to get right, it was either too hot or too cold & took a while to get it right.

    Clean, comfortable beds & great value for money!

    No suitcase stand supplied, no where to place your toiletries in the bathroom, very simply equipped kitchen (no microwave) parking bays not numbered to rooms so we had to park a very long way around the back and it was raining when we got back from dinner. Didn’t realise dogs were permitted…interesting!

    Easy to find and easy to get into by key code, clean and tidy. Good communication to advise room was ready. Refreshed look, nice products supplied and good quality linen. Lovely little window bench and seating even though weather didn’t permit using it. Good supply of power points.

    I wish we had a freezer compartment in the fridge and a small kitchen sink with a tea towel and microwave. Even though these were in the communal kitchen it would have been nice to have them in our room.

    The location was fantastic and it was pet friendly. We love the coffee van out the front too

    The big shower head wet the bathroom floor a bit but the cleaning staff had unlimited new towels for me and there was an option of daily full service so it was fine anyhow. Nothing bad to report !

    The room was clean and sweet with good tea selection and toaster, the share kitchen was 24/7 access with a freezer for my food and also very clean, the staff were lovely and helpful and the beach was a 20 minute walk with a slow dog so it was very affordable for such a popular beach stay. There was an enclosed yard with a pool and dog shower where I could sit in the sun and have coffee in the morning and let my dog wander around and lay in the sun. I enjoyed the relaxed feeling there.

    The only issue is that you can’t hear noise from the other rooms and car park, so I was woken up at 3.30am and 5.30am by people leaving. I should have brought ear plugs!

    The decor is very cool, the check in process was easy, the 24/7 guest kitchen with sparkling water on tap was great. The bed was very comfortable, the staff were friendly and I had a great stay.
