Top Boulder Beach Hotel Reviews

Tasman Holiday Parks - Ballina

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay. Thank you"

Lennox Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"P"

Karingal 1 @ Lennox Head

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Karingal 1 due to the great location and spaciousness of the property. It was furnished nicely in keeping with the beachside position and the kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. We would recommend that each guest be provided with two towels as we found that our towels would not dry in the bathrooms this was probably due to the bathrooms not all having windows for ventilation. It would also be good to have beach towels provided for guests."

Quarterdeck 18 - Beachfront Apartment

8/10 Good

"Comfortable lovely walk to town."

La Sirena — One Bedroom Coastal Living Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely decor, lovely host.Provided eggs and butter and good cooking facilities."

Serenity Now - New Property, minutes from the beach and village, yet so peaceful and private

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely home with a great hinterland view and not far from the beach. Lots of space and little nooks to tuck away in with a book. Rained for us but with the pool this would be great in the sun!! Thanks to Elizabeth for great communication and help."

Aqua @ Lennox Head NSW

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fabulous location, in a well appointed and spacious home at a good price. If anything, it is under furnished and the 3 of us did not utilise all the rooms. The view is amazing. There are plenty of comfortable spots with lovely views. I especially enjoyed having my morning cup of tea looking out to the ocean from a comfy lounge. It is at the end of a cul-de-sac which can get busy as it is a surf point and the beginning of a paved walk to the headland. That means parking can be a bit tight, a small price to pay for all the other benefits. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. I would not hesitate to book this house again."

Swell - 5 Bedroom Home in Skennars Head

10/10 Excellent

"The house was big, had everything u needed and was well appointed, some nice walks around the area . Check in was easy"

Wave Hill and the Pool House, Lennox head

10/10 Excellent

"Views were incredible, pool was great, the houses had everything we needed. Clean comfortable, would definitely stay again"
