I checked out a day early and the hotel surprised me with comfy beds, good quality linens, and reasonable prices. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the noise from other guests outside was a bit of a downside.

The Dolphin Room at Tea Gardens Hotel was just beautiful, very comfortable, and clean, offering a great value for money stay. The service was very friendly and accommodating, though finding staff after 5 pm was a bit tricky. The location was perfect, near the water and shops, with access to local attractions. Dining at Mumm's on the Myall was praised as VERY good, but with limited options during the week. Overall, a fabulous stay with some minor improvement areas.
