Avoid Coachmans inn This place is completely run down, everything old and worn out. Prices are high, our room was crawling with ants and the dust and cobwebs were built up for some time. Do not stay here! Period. It’s a pity as Eden is a gem of a town

Despite its ugly whaling history and forestry Eden is is a lovely place and at the other end of the nature scale from urban jungles. We spotted Skippy, Joey, Wally, lots of parrots and sea eagles, possums on the roof at night as well as a metre long goanna near Ben Boyd's 'lighthouse'. Eden's main beach is a the stuff of postcards. Townsfolk have done a great job with the whaling museum and most of needs were met by local retailers. For those into creative expression, Eden's jetty / port with its tug boats provides some great material.

The Whale watching cruise is worth the money and the Whale Museum is worth a visit as well. The meals at the Great Southern hotel were fantastic. So many places around Eden to spend time and also the other closer towns

Everyone in the whole town were extremely friendly and helpful. The Seahorse resteraunt we went to on the nigh of our anniversary made us feel real special. The Chinese resteraunt we went to on night 1 was delicious,the whale museum absolutely fascinating. JUST LIKE A GOOD OLD FASHIONED TOWN. WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK.

Customer service is tremendous. I reach at 8pm and my key was placed in the safe locker. I was confused to find the locker but the customer service I called was happy to facilitate me after even after hours.

So great that Eden is overlooked by most travellers, it's probably one of the few places on the NSW coast that's almost untouched by developers and holiday homes. Like travelling back to 1977, but with good coffee. The environment is amazing, please preserve it.
