Arrival was lovely with clear communication. We felt really excited about being onsite after our introduction. Our room was on the veranda where everyone gathered which initially we loved. However, the evening was loud well over the time allowance of 9.30pm - around 10.45pm and right outside our room. I was in the position of having to ask the the 12 people gathered around the table to kindly find another place to continue their conversations as we were gong to sleep. The cost of the room was very excessive at 164.00 and sadly, after this experience I will not return. However we do love Bellingen and will return to enjoy all it offers!
