Diggers Tavern

Great rooms in the motel and friendly bar staff. The food was great and generous and a good price. Outside non-smoking and separate smoking area was good. Inside spacious food menu was great and lots of specials options. Reasonably priced drinks food and accommodation.

A fairly new block built at the back of the tavern. Room was very quiet as I think most would be, large and appointed in normal motel style. Bathroom and room were very clean. The only downside was the carpark. The tavern uses the public carpark located behind the main street (but right beside the tavern accommodation). I confess to being a little worried about the security of the car during the night, but all was fine, however we did have to keep a close eye on teenagers riding skateboards right beside our car in the carpark. The entrance to the accommodation was not easy to find (around the rear of the building) There is no lift from the carpark to the accommodation, so we had to carry our bags up two flights of stairs. The connected tavern is well located in the main street and we did not hear any noise from the patrons when in our room. Overall, a pleasant stay in a clean, well-priced, well-located property.

I have stayed at the Diggers on a few occasions, and I can confirm it is always very clean. Bathrooms are clean, the linen is crisp and fresh, and the rooms are fairly spacious and well appointed. The only downside is your vehicles are not terribly secure, pick a room that has good overview of the carpark if you want to keep an eye on your vehicle.

Spacious room. My. room had aircon, tea and coffee making facilities, and a small supply of juices, cereals for a light breakfast. At night I found the place very quiet for sleeping. To walk to the room you need to walk through the public bar area to the back of the hotel. There is a back door if you don't want to walk through the public bar, but just a little further to get around the Main Street. Plenty of parking at the back too.

We stayed in a family room for one night, which was adequate. It was quite spacious for a family room (4 guests), the aircon worked well and it was very quiet. The motel/tavern is also very centrally located with everything in Bellingen in easy walking distance. My only criticism is that there was no wifi as advertised. I suspect that there is some wifi in the Tavern but that the signal is not strong enough to reach the room that we were staying in.
