Loadstone Hotels

"From the receptionist to the restaurant staff to the cleaning staff, everyone was very helpful and friendly. The pre-packaged meals (breakfasts and dinners) were great! Make sure you bring an appetite! The accommodation (Sky Lodge) could not be faulted - the advertised pictures accurately represented the quality of the accommodation. Would definitely return!"

"First of all the location is excellent… right in the middle of the rainforest, although the drive up there is not for the faint hearted. My room was very basic, which was expected. The thing I didn’t like was that the door to the deck didn’t seal at all, so when the wind blew at night it rattled the blinds and kept me awake. Parking spots are very tight for even a modest size car. Food options were limited and expensive. If you are not in a self catering unit you run out of choices quickly. I didn’t do too many activities but the e-bike ride and the morning bird watch were great. I did several solo hikes which were also great. The view of the stars at night was stunning."

"Not well located for hiking as the track up Mt Warning seems to be 'permanently' closed for the usual reasons. Chair on balcony broken, hot plate difficult to operate but otherwise ok for the money "

"The rooms wrre nice n clean very peaceful n the staff were siper helpful "

"What an amazing stay. Everything was absolutely beautiful. Very clean. Food was amazing. Little huts great with amazing views of the surrounding property. Abundance of wild life but the best was that everything from food to pampering was all sourced within Australia. A very happy customer indeed."

"Clean and tidy, gorgeous mimicry fireplace to give ambiance an arrival. Very comfortable mattress on bed, gorgeous balcony view. Best place to disconnect and defrag, put yourself in the spa and unwind. Nature at its finest. Birds chirping from 5 am, just serene."

"Hillcrest Mountain View Retreat is a hidden sanctuary. We hit the jackpot when we were searching for accommodation in the area to attend a wedding. Its location is nothing short of spectacular and the 360 views are breathtaking. Hosts Craig and Paul were so warm and welcoming, and a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Our room had such a comfortable bed with everything we needed and many more extras. The deck was made for unwinding with a daybed and hammock inviting you to linger and recharge, while absorbing Nature all around you. There was a lovely sitting room, dining area, a well-stocked library, and swimming pool (which we didn’t have time to swim in). It was therapy just being there, including the collection of art and artefacts. One of the highlights was breakfast, with a menu that you wanted to stay a week to sample chef Paul’s culinary delights. As we’d only booked one night, leaving was hard, knowing there was so much more. However it gives us a reason to return because we left wanting more. "

"Amazing location"

"The Earth Lodge at Wollumbin Palms is an outstanding place at which to spend a few days. So eclectic and beautiful, peaceful and well equipped. The sparkling wine, port and breakfast supplies were really welcome and we enjoyed relaxing outside looking up towards Mt Warning. We would definitely stay there again. Nearby Murwillumbah has a couple of excellent restaurants, Bistro Livi and Tweed River House, both of which have great food and very friendly staff. The Regional Gallery there is great too. If only there were more hiking trails around there it would be perfect."
