Best Hotels near Dorrigo Rail Tunnel #2, Coffs Harbour

Wonderful stay with a cheerful welcome and friendly farewell from our hosts. Close to Park Beach Plaza, beach, tourist attractions and eateries. Plenty of parking which allowed our vehicles to be safely off the street during our stay. Room was spacious with two queen beds, lounge, plenty of extra blankets in the cupboard along with a good size bathroom stocked with the travel necessities including tissues. There was nothing we did not enjoy during our stay. We will happily recommend to family and friends and if needing to stay in Coffs we will choose Royal Palms.

We stopped over here for a night passing through. Checking was fine friendly staff. However the room was disgraceful. Cockroaches crawling up the walls near the bed and in the bathroom bugs crawling in and on the bed sheets. The bunk bed at top was hard and my son couldn’t sleep on it the pillow was like a bag of cement and my son had developed a nice reaction from query dust as his eyes were watering smd puffy and sneezing constantly. He needed an antihistamine to stop and settle and all 3 had to sleep in the one bed as the bunk bed was too uncomfortable

We stayed in the Gumnut villa which was absolutely horrible. The toilet was flooding the bathroom floor, the shower head in the ensuite was like being hosed by a fire hydrant. The toilet in the ensuite felt tiny, like it was meant for young children. There was an ants nest in the light above the master bed which was dripping ants and nest pieces on me throughout the night so we moved the bed out of the way. The fan in that room was vibrating so bad that it would shake more ants onto the bed. The aircon was working but I don't think the room was insulated so it was never enough. We had two fans running to try and push cool air into the kids room for the entire week we were there. The matresses felt absolutely horrible and felt like I was going to roll off the bed each time I move. There was some mould on the bedroom walls. The whole cabin was just old, outdated and very worn. The wifi hardly worked which was not so great because there was also no cell service in most of the park. Great if you want to have no connection but not so great when you need to use the internet to search for places to go and things to see in the area. Why am I giving it 4 stars? Because of Jan! The staff there were amazing! Jan tried to do everything in her power (and then some!) To try and help us out. She was incredible! The facilities were also great! Lots for the kids to do, direct beach access, kangaroos all over the place, pools, water play equipment, slides, tennis courts, archery, go karts, all great fun! The bikes are old and pretty run down so not worth renting. Thanks again to Jan! We hope to stay here again but in one of the more modern cabins (or in our own tent).

Hotel location is good

It’s a holiday cabin, it’s better to go in the summer, go out through a few small trees that are beaches, and lucky to see the dolphins. At night, I always feel that there are animals knocking on the door. There is always a sound.

Wish I’d have read them everything is true. This is not a luxury resort. Tired old dirty rooms. No staff anywhere. No gym access. Unusable internet. No assigned parking and not enough spaces. But best of all many people live here permanently and they do not like visitors. One resident came INSIDE our room as we brought in our cases and told us off for banging the door. We had been here under 2 minutes. Another resident ambushed my daughter parked by lift unloading her cases with a tiny baby and 2 year old told her off too. Within 90 seconds of arrival. Literally they patrol the place looking for chances to discipline visitors for actually being here !! Nice grounds but horrible atmosphere- rudest barmaid in the bar rude to coworkers and guests went for 1 drink and left. Yes we asked for our room to be cleaned to give the place a chance to step up before complaining and someone came and cleaned one window and sprayed a scent to cover up curry smell but couldn’t get rid of it. Staff are hidden and only available via mobile phone. Ghastly. Do not go. It is not a resort experience!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The people are the friendliest and most helpful. The unit was superb, with 3 large bedrooms one with a full size en suite and the very large main bathroom with corner spa. The hole unit was very clean and the kitchen had everything that you need for a short stay or longer. The pool and BBQ area was fantastic again everything you need for a BBQ (cooking utensils, plates and even sauce and butter in the fridge that everybody can use. The beach is a two minute walk straight out the back. I am happy to recommend Smugglers On The Beach to anybody that's need accommodation at Coffs Harbour overnight or a month. I will be staying there next time and will be looking forward to it.

We chose to stay in a deluxe two-bedroom cabin. It was in a lovely location with the outdoor decking facing the stream. The cabin was spacious and clean, and there was direct beach access just a short walk through the caravan park. There is plenty to occupy the kids including a water splash area with a dumping bucket and a jumping pillow. Emerald Beach is a small town with only a few shops. If you are needing supplies there are supermarkets in nearby Woolgoolga, and eight-minute drive north.

Good service, good location, everything all good with late check in or early check out.

Stayed here one night on our way to the gold coast. Room is large for myself , the control enthusiast and my 7 year old to stay for the one night we were here. Cleanliness of the Room was excellent and the staff super nice. I have nothing bad to say about this place because the short time I stayed there everthing I needed was met and fulfilled. We used our dine and discover vouchers and our overnight stay cost us $5 . I would have to be the worst person on earth to review a motel that charged my family $5 to stay there , anything less than 5 stars. Pros. Very clean Very quiet Cons. Nowhere to land my private jet
