• McIntyre (9/5): Great stay. - Great location, ocean pool and beach across the road. You can walk everywhere and Restaurant on site was great as well. Only complaint really was the mattress protector made the bed very hot for sleeping
• Gai (5/5): The stay was pleasant, however, please refer to my earlier comments. - The location & the restaurant. The staff were very helpful & polite. I believe the rooms need a cosmetic lift. The location & view is amazing, however, I thought the room was way too expensive.
• David (8/5): -
• Pamela (9/5): Delightful stay in a beautiful location - A very spacious suite with a magnificent view.
• Litsa (10/5): Excellent - Breakfast excellent Staff extremely helpful Wonderful stay Will definitely return
• James (10/5): Great spot to re energise and appreciate a great part of Australia - Location to beach Nothing
• Robyn (9/5): - Great sized room with excellent views
• Jennifer (9/5): Lovely spot - The view was lovely. The bed was comfy. Handy to have a nice restaurant downstairs. There was no toaster or microwave which was a bit annoying.
• Suzette (9/5): Great location, spacious, comfortable room, helpful staff - Great location, comfortable bed, spacious room. parking was a bit tight
• Paul Winley (9/5): - I had dinner in the resturant and I have to say. It was so nice to have a well prepared and flavored meal. So many times these days the act of cooking is lost. Please pass on my thanks to the kitchen staff

• Craig (7/5): I won’t be back - The location The toilet continued to flush no matter what I did. I informed the reception staff but that proved ineffective. The restaurant food was bland and VERY slowly served. I was there for work. There was no adequate desk

• peter (8/5): Views are amazing ,, opposite a great beach and rock bathing area. - Great view,, Quite,, Ice machine and stocked mini bar at good prices,, Ocean baths opposite,, plenty of walking tracks,, great sunset,, onsite Restaurant was great quality,, would stay again........ Overall room was great,, we were on 1st floor higher floors would have been better,, Carpark was tight for my 4x4 but plenty parks around on street,, was pricey,,
• Nicholas (5/5): - Room was a good size, good balcony and view. Staff were very pleasnt, particularly in the restaurant. Good parking. Good location. Room charge was for a boutique hotel, but the Dorsal isn't boutique anymore. It may have been back when it was built but now the room I had is tired, the bathroom needs complete refurbishment, there are no drawers for clothes, the fridge looks very old although still working. There was dirty cutlery in the drawer.
• Dorothy (9/5): - Great location, comfortable room with plenty of space. Would have been nice to have a microwave oven
• Kay (8/5): I'd come back - Great location and central to most things. Comfy room and nice view. The shower was a bit mouldy and a light was out but those things were rectified pretty quickly and to our satisfaction.
• Lindal (9/5): Would stay here again. - Location was fantastic. Restaurant was well worth a visit. Clean and tidy. Only disappointment was that I had said it was our 21st wedding anniversary and nothing extra was done.
