Very tasty fish supper unfortunately that had run out off barramundi!

Great fit for purpose accommodation . Always like to stop in Bellingen, such a cool little town.
Diggers provided the break from the road.
Only reason for 4 stars is the nature of the building lends to a bit of noise across the rooms.
Otherwise very comfortable !
Thanks.

Nice rooms, good shower, pub was pleasant.
Out room was next door to the drive thru liquor place so early morning delivery woke us at 630. That was our only fault.

My family and I needed some emergency accommodation earlier this week (to visit the hospice) and we were able to secure a room at the Diggers Tavern - with no idea what to expect.

I have to say, it was great - everything you need and nothing you don't! We stayed one night in a twin room and it was absolutely fit for purpose. Large bathroom was a nice surprise too - nice tall shower.

Additionally, we grabbed a takeaway bistro meal and it was excellent. I had a curry (which was great) and everyone else finished their meals - which is a good sign.

My only comment would be about the tv placement - we could have used it to entertain the kids for a bit, but it was high up the wall and hard for them to see. Minor critique, and I'm sure people smarter than me decided that was the best place for it so...

Will stay again if we need to come up that way. Thanks team!

During January 2023, I recently enjoyed Ceasar Salad with chicken strips with garlic bread and chilled glass of white wine. Great Atmosphere. Lovely place to Wine and Dine. Their Food was Delicious. I recently enjoyed a glass of white wine accompanied by a Chicken Kiev with Salad and Chips. Highly Recommended. I recently enjoyed a delicious Fish Taco with a refreshing glass of white wine ?????

Have stayed before but....
Called in last minute and Josh was more than happy to help out 2 weary travellers, waited till we arrived after closing to check us in.
Rooms were pretty good, but the shower (water pressure & heat) were insanely good. Located in the middle of Bellingen, just right. Cheers.

Have stayed there many times. Rooms are always clean and 100% functional. Staff are always friendly and prompt. The meals are above average, generously sized and they know how to safely prepare food for a coeliac!!! the dining room can be busy as it's popular with locals, but waiting times are normal. Thanks Diggers

Food is very average, no atmosphere and bar staff rude. Would recommend you go up the road to the pub on the right, we had friendly service and excellent food

4 bed room was very disappointing. Fit-out and furniture cheap and out dated for the price of $230/night, not that I would want to stay there again even for half the price. Not sure who has been writing the reviews for this place to have over 4 stars. ?
Bellingen is well known as a charming town. I can only assume the Diggers trades off this popularity whilst not adding any charm itself.
Staff were friendly, Water pressure in shower was excellent, meal in bistro was inedible, or as my 4 year old put it 'my body wants to eat more but my brain doesn't want to eat that' (of what appeared to be a frozen microwaved hamburger). Prices in Bistro were also within $3 per meal of Sydney pub prices but not at all in same ball park with respect of taste or quality.

No frills but has everything you need. Beds are firm. Great shower (hot and powerful) with nice thick towels. Walk to shops and restaurants or eat/drink at the hotel pub. Clean.

The food was beautiful. The only thing I could fault was the lighting and the size of the print on the menu. I had a lot of trouble trying to read it, and the dull lighting didn't help.

Food was not very special, dont like the smoking place, you can smell it on the non smoking site.

We can really recommend staying here the bar staff are really friendly especially Pete who really looked after us. The Bellingen Bistro also serves fantastic food. The Chef is top quality and punches far beyound pub fayre. Great stay thankyou.

Great stop in Bellingen! Very high quality motel, the room was big and clean. The staff was very friendly. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast bites in the room. A perfect stay if you plan a stop along the waterfall way.

Fast Service and the food was awesome all family were very happy and the Vindaloo was as it said a nice flavourful medium. Would Highly recommend

Always enjoyed the meals, reasonable prices. Good selection of beers on tap and great service. Overall I have always left the tavern feeling satisfied with food, beverages and service! I Recommend it as a place to visit.

We stayed for a night here. The rooms are older but nice with wooden floors, ensuite bathrooms and plenty of room. The staff of the tavern were wonderful and even sorted out a room switch when I asked for a roll away bed so that we'd have a proper bed each. We didn't eat here as we had plans elsewhere but the menu looked good and the food smelled great.

Great Atmosphere. Lovely place to Wine and Dine. Their Food was Delicious. I recently enjoyed a glass of white wine accompanied by a Chicken Kiev with Salad and Chips. Highly Recommended ?????

Awesome pub that's family friendly. Cold beer, delicious meals, meat raffles & accommodation. We'll definitely be back.

Fantastic food, fast service, huge meals, very good on price

Great value for money. We called in on Sunday night of long weekend and it was busy. We were watching the kitchen work from our seat and were impressed by their efficiency, the chef was moving fast! Food was delicious, I had the Sunday roast pork with crackling, apple sauce, gravy, roast potato (3 potatoes!), pumpkin and steamed vege (zucchini, carrots, broccoli, beans & peas!!). Saw a lot of other meals come out, all big portions, certainly get your money's worth. Would certainly eat here again.

Good food, generous servings. Monday nights chicken schnitzel special is good value for money, large schnitzel, chips and salad for $12.50. Veggie risotto was good but a little too wet for risotto but full of fresh veggies. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Accommodation was okay - small but tidy and clean but a bit expensive for what it is but possibly costed more than usual due to the time of year. Parking wasn't easy as there was limited parking around, we parked around the back where the bottle shop is and there was only about 5 or 6 parks. The structure currently in place for building maintenance is incredibly unsafe, very hard for guest to go up and down it while holding/carrying luggage especially in the rain.

Amazing food, staff were very friendly.

Overall this place seemed like the happening pub of Bellingen. It was warm, dry and the beds were comfy after a day on the rig. They provided us a microwave to warm our dinners and the owner/manager was happy to come get the door for me when I locked myself out after hours. For a small town, country pub/motel you did a bang up job. I didn't get a crack on the slappers but there seemed some good ones there #dragonlink #bignumbercoindrops

very nice and friendly staff great place for a meal

Lovely little hotel but didn't get to eat it was booked , needs more dining space

Nice place to stop while you're in Bellingen. The staff are friendly and so are the locals. Nice pub.

Great service with knowledge on where to direct us for continuous, updated information after recent flooding/land slips. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were very clean and a decent size for a family of 4 and included aircon, a stocked mini fridge, breakfast essentials, ironing facilities in the room and television. Bathroom in the room had large shower with a lovely shower head to warm you up on a cool day. Dining area was very busy but the wait for our large and delicious meal was shorter than we thought it would be. Large portions and cooked to order. Great selection of wines and drinks. Off street parking was great although the path to the door is a little rough and steep. Walking distance to cafes, shops and the river for a swim or skipping rocks. Highly recommended.
