Overall Ratings & Reviews Beachcomber Lodge

Very surprised when a staff / driver member welcome me at the airport which I did not expect room spacious and clean also very accommodating when my flight had been cancelled. Big tip bring plenty of bread to feed the fish amazing experience in the lagoon just a short walk.

The best feature was our host, Paul. He was always available, knowledgeable, attended to issues, made suggestions, reservations & drove us wherever we wanted to go, regardless of the time. He’s an extremely valuable employee & would be very hard to replace. Beachcomber is rated 3-Star so don’t expect room service. Riding push bikes up the hill is a killer. The walls are thin so you can hear everything going on in the next room. The grounds are beautifully maintained, beds comfy, relaxing verandah, kitchenette & bathroom great. We enjoyed our stay.

Paul picks you up at the airport, takes you back to the airport. He also makes your reservations for dinner and drives you to dinner! The restaurant drives you back to your hotel!

Very tired around the area and gardens certainly needed tidying up.

Lovely quiet place with a garden. Has everything one needs for a comfortable stay

The property was nestled in the bush with lots of birdsong in the mornings, plenty of lovely sunshine to enjoy out on the verandah - so peaceful! - and incredible staff. Paul made the trip so easy!

Our stay at Beachcomber Lodge was simply fantastic! Highly recommended for a quiet and comfortable stay on Lord Howe Island. Gary and Paul were incredibly helpful and made sure our stay was easy, relaxing and our best holiday yet at Lord Howe Island.

Great location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean, well maintained and a perfect location to explore the island. Loved our stay. 🙂

Pick up from the airport right on time, also taking us back. Good explanation about where everything is on the island. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Thank you!

Fairly basic accommodations but well suited to the vibe of the island

The lodge is located, like many in Lord Howe Island, up a hill which requires hiring a bicycle or a 10 to 15 minute walk to get to the restaurants to eat or beaches to swim. There are no views from the rooms or the lodge, but they do have a very nice garden. The room was typical average Lord Howe basic / minimal - not unattractive, but very basic. It was generally clean. Like almost all accommodation on Lord Howe, there is no airconditioning, and given the constant high humidity on the island, staying in the room during the day is mostly unbearable. On the downside, the bathroom smelled of sewerage (septic tanks?), the basin constantly clogged up with water (did not drain), there was no facecloth provided, the TV signal was hopelessly fuzzy (though Youtube worked fine), and sound came in from the adjacent rooms, moreso than any other hotel I have ever stayed in. The accommodation would be very expensive compared to other accommodation of this standard in Australia ... but perhaps not so for Lord Howe, where everything is about 50% more than the mainland.

Beachcomber was perfect for my stay… a great little kitchenette to prepare easy meals if you want a quick brekkie before a hike… close to Ned’s… clean… Paul was always around to help with anything… would definitely stay again!

Beachcomber was the perfect holiday stay for Lord Howe . Set in tranquil tropical gardens where it was quiet and peaceful the hotel was within easy walking distance to Ned’s beach and town cafes Paul the manager went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed With clean rooms very comfortable beds a lovely verandah and all amenities for cooking we were very happy with our stay at Beachcombers No need to spend $10,000 a night haha

The property was not good value for money. For the amount I paid for the room, I would have expected much better service. The rooms were not cleaned during my stay and guests are discouraged from asking for assistance from the single staff member. On the plus side, the rooms are large and cool and the garden is lovely.

The staff Paul was very helpful and kind. However, the facilities were not adequate and outdated. In the pandemic, the lodge's policy expressed the daily clean services would not be provided. Hence, the room became not fresh, not polished and not tidy. The policy threaten we needed to clean the bins, made room clean, otherwise additional cost would be charged. I believe I paid premium fees to stay in the lodge. Why should I perform a maid's service to stay there?

The room was clean and had everything we needed. It was a bit tricky to find staff if we needed something, but when we did they were great.

Good clean rooms close to neds beach and not too far from town. Polite and courteous service and local knowledge

We loved our stay at Beachcomber. Highly recommend

This is a nice lodge near Ned’s beach. Gary the owner very kindly showed us around on the way from the airport, and allowed early access and a late check out which we hugely appreciated. If you wish to dine at another restaurant Gary provides complementary shuttle and the restaurant drops you home. Lord Howe Island is truly magical, highly recommend.

Gary who manages tbe propertywas very helpful in sorting out any issues we had. We had a problem withtv reception on day 1 and quickly arranged another tv. The food at t he restaurant was very good - great pizza! The room was tidied every day which was a surprise - particularlyhaving rubbish removed from the kitchenette to avoid attracting ants and coachroaches - important given the room is at ground level. Gary's knowlege of the natural environment on tge island was very useful and he was always keen to share an I nteresting story with us which made us feel very welcome.
