We just spent a week at Smugglers and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean with great beds. Will definitely be back!

Definitely the best little hotel in central NSW coast. Jo and her husband is doing an amazing job keeping the grounds nice and tidy. Rooms are immaculate and spacious. They have all the essentials in the kitchen. White sheets and towels are spotless. Proximity to the beach is great.

The only let down was the beach. It was a pebble beach not nice sand + it was very rough seas the weekend we were there which probably washed away the sand. Otherwise it was a great secluded location. We had the 3br unit and it was great.
