No view from doors or windows .. granny flat
Comfortable property and responsive owner.
Property doesn’t have view from the windows or doors if you are expecting to have a view of the hills or pastures it’s not the place for you.. was a bit tired and outdoor deck wasn’t clean .. it was raining most of the time so the house wasn’t the best to stay indoors..

Loved our stay in the studio...very comfortable bed....great kitchen with all the essentials. Missed having a washing machine ..although made no difference to our stay or experiences in Thora....lovely hosts they have thought of all the homely comforts .

This is a very well presented Asian inspired house located in rainforests between Bellingen and Dorrigo on the Waterfall way. It was very welcoming, with comfortable lounges and well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were large and the beds were relaxing. The decor was impressive and the bathroom had everything necessary together with a really nice shower. There was air conditioning as well as fans. We had a great stay and are happy to recommend Lombok.

Very comfy
Good size property with air con which was great as we had a 40degree day. The name and location and details was a bit confusing as i was under the impression that we could walk places from the accom (like river etc) which you definitely couldn't. But i was very comfy and slept so well

Run down, hard to get issues sorted
Inside accomodation nice but cleaner still there when I turned up so had to wait outside for 15 mins. I arrived after 2pm. Deck was then wet and took hours to dry so I couldn't us it. Only one of two pedestal fans in brms worked. Outside needs a really gd clean up. Very snaky, mosquito ridden, leaves all over the place. Outside laundry shed full of cobwebs, clearly not cleaned in ages. Traffic noise loud as accomodation right next to road. No hot water on day I left. Rang, emailed, texted and 2 hrs later issue not resolved, no one had turned up, so had to leave without having a shower and washing my hair. Poor service. Not worth the cost
The property is great for a little escape from the hustle and bustle and would be particularly lovely in summer when the rainforest provides welcome shade. You're right in nature here with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy different areas.

Not quite what we were expecting.
The property was a good 12 minutes out of Belligen and more for us with all the road works. But there was no view. A tin garden shed was positioned right in front of the verandah. The road was only a few metres away with a lot more traffic than I would have expected for a country road. The WiFi was limited and you were not permitted to download movies. The bathroom was completely separate to the bedrooms and you had to walk through the living room to reach it. The inside of the Studio was attractive but it was not a luxury experience staying there.
It was a really beautiful part of NSW that was also ideal for our dog Daisy. The host of the property was very accommodating with anything that we required including fresh eggs from her chooks.
Everything about our stay at Lombok was exceptional..!! A great option for anyone looking for a pet friendly getaway in the hinterland above Coffs Harbour...!!!
Our stay at the property was lovely there were a couple of hiccups that couldn’t be avoided such as an unscheduled power outage. The property was lovely and clean and the hosts very friendly.
There were many thoughtful touches however our only recommendation would be supplying coffee for the coffee plunger.
We enjoyed the pretty setting of Lombok on Waterfall which is half way between Dorrigo & Bellingen. Accommodation was very clean, modern & comfy & hosts easy to deal with. Note that during the day there is a bit of traffic noise from Waterfall Way to which the Studio cottage is very close. It’s a good idea to take your own dvds or downloaded viewing to watch as there is limited bandwidth on the site.
