Guest Reviews
- Paul (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Excellent accommodation. - Convenience to Old Bar. Very well setup. Nil
- Jemma (6/5): A good option for short stay with pets! - Comfy, clean room that was easy to access and in a great location. Beds were very comfortable! Unfortunately for light sleepers it was very noisy - the plumbing, air cons, hot water systems and even the sensor light outside was at a level that would be hard for most people to sleep!
- John (10/5): - Good all round Nil
- Jack (8/5): It was a cozy room in a great location -
- Kathryn (9/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): Rested and rejuvenated for the next days drive. Great food and coffee close by. - Was a great stopping point on our long drive. Amazing food and coffee so close to Finn’s. Would stay again. Coffee, tea, biscuits in room with a fridge and microwave. Was very clean.
- Um die Welt (5/5): Für Kurzaufenthalte würde ich wieder kommen. - Zu wenig Sitzmöbel, zu kleiner Küchenbereich.
- Sophia (8/5): -
- Anna (8/5): -
- Anna (10/5): - Beautiful and exceeded expectations for the price. Perfect rest stop for our roadtrip It would be helpful if there is a stated noise curfew, especially as room balconies are so close together. Kate responded quickly to a noise complaint we had for another guest but a curfew (like there is for the pool) would be helpful
- Karen S (10/5): - We stayed for one night and really enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable, clean and well presented, and the location was convenient. The property was nice and quiet, making it a relaxing overnight stay. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would consider returning.
- Kaihe-Tairi (10/5): - Such a nice place to stay, nice view from the top balcony and lovely spot to have dinner and a wine. The pool was sooooo nice and felt secluded while not being so. Access was interesting but all info was provided and easy to follow. Thanks for the stay
- Ken (10/5): -
- Bernadette (9/5): Relaxing -
- Vikki (9/5): Beautiful stay in Old Bar - Very lovely vibe Would prefer ground floor with a dog
- Susan (7/5): - Quiet location close to beach and shops. Beautiful room, clean and comfortable. Easy parking. Nice balcony to sit outside. Nowhere to easily wash dishes. Stairs were quite steep when carrying a large suitcase.
- Brad (10/5): Perfect pitstop, would definitely stay again - Perfect place to stop to break up the drive between Sydney and Byron Bay. No interaction with any staff (self check in) so can't comment on service, but the room was spacious and nicely furnished, it was quiet and perfect for our pup with a large oval just behind the hotel and a dog friendly beach a 5 minute walk away. No issues at all, everything was great.
- Rhiannon (9/5): - Beautifully styled, tea and coffee in room. Quiet location
- Amelia (6/5): Good location with a nice view! - Good location with a nice view! Bathroom wasn't overly clean. The aircon unit was dusty. The door rattled all night even when locked.
- Tahlia (10/5): - 4th time staying always amazing!
- Neva (7/5): - Location great, nicely furnished, modern beach feel. Upkeep of propertu. Same dirty glass on pool gate 3 daya in a row, arwa around pool not swept in 3 days. Looking a little underloved.
- Millie (10/5): - Beautiful comfortable room.
- Natalie (10/5): Gorgeous accommodation - Excellent location. Beautifully decorated. Very comfortable with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We only stayed one night but really wish we had booked more. I’d be happy to relax there for quite a while. Loved the easy check in. I would have liked an iron in the room (I know there was one in the laundry room but that seemed a faff) and there was no where to hang/store clothes. Ok for a one night stay, but would have bugged me if I was there for a few days 😊
- Laura (9/5): - comfortable, clean, very nice furnishings. only difficulty was no mirror in the bedroom to get ready when someone was using the bathroom and there was no tap to fill up kettle/ drink bottles etc needed to use the shower as couldnt fit under the bathroom sink faucet
otherwise was perfect
- Paula (10/5): - Fantastic property. Super clean room. Just lovely.
- Kathie (7/5): Great location, clean and comfy beds. - The room was very clean, comfy bed and great location. We were contacted prior to check in with details and access was very easy. Finn's is in easy walking distance to the shops and beach. Parking was easy. No flyscreens on most of the windows so we had to close up early and use the aircon. We prefer fresh air and the weather was ideal for letting the breeze flow through.
- Anthony (8/5): -
- Elisabeth (10/5): -
- Robert (8/5): - Clean and comfortable
- Lesley (10/5): A fabulous, well maintained place, comfortable and relaxing. - Cute place, lovely vibe. We were driving between Sydney and Brisbane and stopped here for one night. A perfect room for a good sleep.
- Jenna (10/5): Beautiful night away with my partner - Great customer service, clean rooms and let us have a later check out Nothing
- Kym (9/5): -
- natalie (9/5): -
- Russell (10/5): - Location cleanliness and very quiet Having to leave lol
- Hannah (10/5): -
- Lora (10/5): - Close to beach.
Very co.fortable bed and roomy Could have a bath mat for showee floor, rather than the timber rack.
- Julia (8/5): Wie waren wir eine Nacht - empfehlenswert. - Geräumiges Zimmer, modern ausgestattet, sehr großes Bett. Nur Kleinigkeiten: keinerlei Ablagefläche im Bad, zu wenig Handtücher, Fehlender großer Spiegel.
- Nic (9/5): Very clean and well appointed. - This property is lovely, far more homely than a motel. The room was light and bright, with a lovely balcony to sit and relax overlooking parklands. The room was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. The property is well positioned between the beach and shops/cafes. Nothing.
- Dawn FAYE WHITBY (10/5): - Have stayed a few times always great
- William (6/5): Great location and well set up. - Well set up, clean and comfortable.
Walking distance to supermaket, restaurants and licenced club Unfortunately the cold tap handle in the shower was broken at the time, so having a shower wasn't possible - the hot water was far too hot by itself.
- Paul (10/5): -
- Jacqueline (10/5): Perfect way to break up our journey - Excellent location and amenities felt like we were staying at a resort.
- Beverly (9/5): A lovely place to spend a night and super friendly staff - It was well renovated and had a really cosy and charming vibe An exhaust in the bathroom, esp if a couple is sharing would be good
- Mitchell (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): -
- Kaylee (10/5): - Really lovely rooms, comfortable beds, really accommodating to our changing check in times as we arrived way later than planned but they were super lovely
- Christipher (9/5): Excellent spot to stay -
- Tracy (8/5): - Walking distance to the best coffee & matcha we've had! After dark one section of the path before stairs in the dark before the sensor light kicks in but the mobile light takes care of that.
- Richard (8/5): -
- Corey (8/5): -
- Kerry (7/5): Great location, clean & tidy - Great location & very clean A bit squeezy
- Rachael (10/5): -
- Rachael (10/5): -
- Jenny (8/5): Eri pleasant. - Bed, room and location Cleanliness. Lots of cobwebs behind furniture. Not major but when looking for a power point found them. Suggest a good springclean Avery now and then

- Zoe (8/5): Loved this clean and comfy boutique surf accommodation just steps from the beach and a great coffee bar. Recommend for a - Cool modern boutique surf accom vibes with a cosy feel. Super clean :) Loved the double doors opening onto the upper balcony with a space to drink your morning coffee overlooking the tropical pool. Near to beach, food and coffee options. Overpowering smell of carpet vac or something similar when we arrived.
- Craig (10/5): -
- Samantha (10/5): -
- Kate (10/5): A perfect sanctuary near Taree with great amenities, excellent value, and also very comfortable - The location was perfect for working in Taree, just a 20-minute drive, which I found to be a much better option than the accommodation available closer to town. It truly felt like a little sanctuary, and I loved the setup! the room I was in was upstairs (Room 1) and looks over on the pool and all you can see is greenery from the room which is so lovely.
As a solo female traveler, I look for places that feel safe without feeling confined and locked in with little light .. and this was exactly that, private, yet open and welcoming- I felt very safe with other people around but not within view of me - and honestly this is a tricky balance to find often and this place had that for me.
My room had a small fridge, kettle, coffee machine, and even a really good hairdryer (a detail I really appreciated). The large rain shower head was fantastic too and the water hot.
I hadn’t expected the room to be serviced during my stay, so that was a lovely surprise. For the price, this place is exceptional. I absolutely loved my stay and would highly recommend it and will be back. Very little to say about the dislikes..... They had just the day earlier changed to a new wi fi modem so the name was different in the info book - but this was sorted out quickly by the staff and didn't cause an issue for me .
- Georgina (9/5): - Just a quick overnight stop, but the room was lovely and welcoming.
- Watt (8/5): -
- Peter (9/5): -
- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional - A beatifully decorated room which had been recently refurbished. Very comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. Situated right near the beach and a short walk from shopping centre and local clubs. nothing
- Glenn (9/5): If you can, stay at Finn’s! - Such a comfy and lovely place. Kate’s communication was first rate. Stay here if you can! Nothing. It was so lovely.
- Glenn (9/5): Stay here if you can! - Exceptional location. Such a clean and comfortable room. Great communication from Kate. Loved it. Nothing.
- Jill (8/5): Nice well presented property close to the beach - The property is well positioned, close to the beach and within walking distance of Cole’s.
The studio room was big enough for the three of us and the beds were very comfortable. A slightly larger fridge would have been useful. We couldn’t fit our esky contents in.
- Helen (9/5): Beautifully decorated, relaxing, lovely pool, walking distance to the beach, use of laundry - The comfort, the decor, the laundry, the pool, the location, the scent on entering the unit The only minor thing is that the only tap, which is in the bathroom, is too low so I was unable to fill the kettle or water bottles, had to do this from the laundry sink
- Jennifer (9/5): Beautiful property just noise from above - Beautiful and clean Could here upstairs shower toilet and running around
- Gillian (10/5): Lovely, comfortable accommodation with friendly staff - Lovely fresh room, beautifully styled. Bonus carton of fresh milk in fridge for coffees/teas. Staff member very friendly and helpful. All good
- Wendy (9/5): Superb - Clean and compact close to shops and beach. We were on bottom floor and could hear everything that upstairs were doing.
- Jordan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vincent (9/5): Spacious apartment in a great location in a dull town. - Spacious with a good layout and excellent facilities. Bed was a bit saggy and the flat above generated a fair bit of noise…footsteps and plumbing.
- Lynette (9/5): Great value for a short stay. - Nice spacious room. Very clean and tidy. Lovely decorations- beachy There is no sink in the kitchen . No cooking facilities except toast. Better for a short stay not long term.
- Michael (9/5): See you next time - Very comfortable and extremely relaxing environment
- Claire (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jane (8/5): OK, not a hotel. Just rooms in someones house - Comfortable enough could have been cleaner. Spiders webs in corners, no bath mats, hair dryer was really dirty and needed to be replaced
- Joy (9/5): A pleasant overnight stay, thank you. - Nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Easy self check-in and self checkout; with Kate proactively sending clear instructions.
- Catherine (8/5): Very good - Lovely confortabe, clean room a short walk from both the beach and cafe's and shops. Only one chair.

- Joanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (8/5): Very good -
- Candice (8/5): Enjoyable place to stay in Old Bar - We liked the open space and lovely deck area. Close walk to the beach. Clear instructions from Kate for check in and out. Kids loved the swinging chair Beds were really too soft for me but that's just personal taste. The bedroom were the kids beds are the windows don't lock, even though we were on the first floor I didn't like that.
- Dawn (8/5): Very good -
- Paula (7/5): Nice to relax! - It was accessible to the shops and beach. It was like home away from home. We were on the lower level and it was very noisy as other guests were staying upstairs. It as also extremely noisy when they were in the pool at 10pm at night, after pool hours. Would be nice if other guests were considerate of others staying.
- Lyn (10/5): Just a quick visit for work but a lovely place to stay - I would love to come back for longer. - I appreciated the care and attention in the room. It's the little things - fresh milk in the fridge and a biscuit for this tired traveller at the end of the day. A lovely relaxing aesthetic in the decor too made for a very pleasant albeit brief stay.
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Nice staff, great accommodation and cleanliness.
- Gee (8/5): Adequate - For the price it was fine Looked a bit dated. Could do with an uplift.
