Tryon Holidays from AU$1,262

We had a great stay at Pine Cottages. The cottage was extremely clean and it had everything we needed. You can tell that the owners are doing upgrades - the windows are new, for example. There was a delivery of shingles being made when we left. It is still an old- fashioned (“traditional”) cottage - lots of wood everywhere! The mattresses could be better but I had good sleeps on them. The bathroom was very tiny. Very close to the beach if that is something you are interested in. We would stay again!

Probably the best hotel/resort I have stayed in Canada. And I have visited almost all the provinces.

Hotel is clean and location is amazing. Staff are friendly. My first disappointment was at the check in when I was told breakfast wasn’t included. When I booked the hotel, I didn’t pay attention, but considering the hotel is in a luxury category and by the price, I thought it was obvious breakfast was included. My bad!! Second disappointment. My room was super small and the toilet was loose. I let the lady at the reception desk know and, she told me she’d send someone to fix it. Two days later I checked and the problem hadn’t been solved. Advertisement x expectations x reality. It’s advertised that the hotel has a roof top and the image shows some lights and people mingling. I thought the roof top would have a bar, some music and people, but it’s only a space with some tables and chairs. My bad again! No lounge chairs for a sunbath, no umbrellas if too sunny. I didn’t ask, but I guess you cannot have a meal served there. It’s only a space to chitchat with a friend or family. Restaurant and bar. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar with a space outside that is super nice and convenient, but prices are the same or higher than many other options around. Which makes it not really attractive.

Our room had steps dividing it in half mid-room, which was dangerous for our one year old with the hard floor, and we couldn’t relax in the room while trying to keep him safe. We also weren’t comfortable using the radiator for his safety so our room was cold at night. Given the price of the bed and breakfast, we were also disappointed that breakfast wasn’t included.
