Comfort Inn All Seasons

8/10 Good

"Handy location, welcoming staff. Room and amenties were more than adequate for a quick weekend away. Ample parking, however it is sometimes difficult to get a space in front/near your unit as they are not numbered or reserved by room."

99 Acres Bangalow Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We would highly recommend this property as its location is so central to Bangalow and the Villas are elevated and nestled into the surrounding hinterland and the hilltop views are outstanding and breathtaking. It’s so peaceful and quiet and private and you have everything you need for your stay to be comfortable and self contained and relaxed with a full kitchen, spacious bathroom and large lovely bedroom with king size bed and lounge and dining area that flows out to the decking and beyond to the views. You feel at one with the landscape and nature. It’s a short walk into Bangalow township. It’s relaxing and the view itself is pure joy… 10/10"
