Bad booking agent who did not notify me the owners did not want to rent . Only after seven months and holding my deposit money I was told this after I called them to pay the balance of rent . Very unprofessional .

Hawks Nest is a beautiful, peaceful area. Lots of beaches to explore. The weather was great, but we were only there 2 days. Breakfast at great little place in Tea Gardens called 'The Boatshed' - great food, friendly service. Dinner (takeaway) from Mumm's on the Myall was also good, and the only takeaway place open at 7.30pm on a Saturday night.

Restaurant needed some cheaper options. Drinks were expensive. The local IGA has a really popular cafe with really nice food at affordable prices. I liked all the natural beauty there, and the fact that there’s still plenty of trees & wild life etc. Jimmy’s beach & Winda Woppa have beautiful views… tea Gardens, which is just over the bridge has a very nice pub with nice views.

Reception couldn’t find my booking upon arrival and gave me a heart attack. Was envisioning having to drive back to Sydney. Booked a ground floor room due to knee problems. This was an option on booking.com but on arrival we had been placed on the Ist floor. Reception staff stated I should have called them direct for this option. Why is it an option on booking.com then? The morning we were checking out a cleaner walked in at 9 am as reception had told them we had handed the keys in. Glad we were both dressed! Also noise from bar/restaurant downstairs on Friday night and the smell from their smoker was full on. Very pub like. I would have hated to have young children with me who were trying to sleep. We would have liked an early night after travelling but this was not possible.

Staff were very lovely & accommodating. The rooms were immaculately clean, neat & tidy. A great stop over on our long drive from Canberra to Tweed Heads. Many thanks to the owners & staff.
