I stayed here in May 2012 for two nights in conjunction with a business trip to the area. The rooms are clean and large with outdated bathrooms with patched up repairs. The intake vent grille for the air conditioning rattled and the temperature no matter all attempts at adjusting the thermostat was always 'hot'. For the money, this hotel 'resort'... More

We stayed at the opal cove for one night on our way through to Queensland & got a good deal on wotif for our stay.. We found it to be clean and comfortable although the rooms were quite outdated and in need of a makeover...all other areas of the resort were clean,neat and well maintained. We had a buffet breakfast... More

This place was a little older than I expected but was beautiful and clean. We had a pretty good quality sleep although the aircon unit in the carpark was very loud and ran through the night. The sound proofing isnt so good we heard the people on both sides of us and above us. While it is old, it does... More

This property is huge! The common areas remind me of the Sheraton Mirage on the Gold Coast...up to a point. This is Coffs and the property looks like it was built in the late 80s boom expecting big growth. But there seems to have been very little growth and not much money spent on it since. We stayed in a... More

We were looking forward to a quiet evening on the way home from our holidays, but the peace & quiet was shattered by a hunting & fishing symposium.... a lot of jolly, friendly people who were enjoying each other's company, but with whom we had absolutely nothing in common. Therefore it was hard to gauge what the resort would normally... More

Stopped at Opal Cove for one night, $112 walk-in rate which was fair value. The rooms are large but aged and need a refurbishment for a “quality resort” - also poor lighting. The shower is above a bath with higher than normal sides, and there are no grip rails to help climb in or out - this is litigation waiting... More

Firstly, do not pay full price for this resort. There are always cheap deals on wotif.com We stayed in the 4 bedroom apartment. Lots of room, clean, modern decor, big bedrooms and bathrooms. Air con, austar, DVD player, full kitchen and laundry. However, we stayed 3 nights and the units were not serviced which I would expect from 4 star... More

When you walk into the foyer, the first thing you notice is a distinct and rather unpleasant moldy, musty smell from a water feature that runs there. We feel it is a bit of a misnomer to call this hotel a resort, as that name indicates a higher standard of accommodation than this hotel has to offer, however for the... More

Although we were forewarned by other reviews on tripadvisor we still required accomodation overnight on our way back to Sydney. We soon realised we had stayed here 13 years prior... And nothing had changed... literally! The decor of the 90's is still fashionable it seems.... the peach coloured walls, the rundown bathrooms, the sliding doors that dont slide or lock... More
