Facilities: Good; Value: Bargain; Service: Friendly, Courteous; Cleanliness: Spotless; Hot Spa is fantastic to unwind at the end of each day

6/10

Food In Bailey’s really good. No free wifi or aircon. Although the fans did the job, as it wasn’t too hot, so not necessarily a complaint! Staff friendly and mostly very helpful
7-night trip

8/10

The Deluxe One Bedroom Cabin was spacious and clean. Some of the furniture was dated and the lounge is worn. The gardens are impressive, whilst the pool and spa were popular spots each afternoon. It is a quiet location with nice views. Unfortunately, there is no cooking allowed in the cabin not even a toaster which was disappointing. The WiFi is very limited.

8/10

Rooms starting to show their age. No shelf space in the bathroom and very little space around the basin. Pillows too soft. Sofa beds do not make comfortable couches in a "deluxe suite" No toasters in the rooms and the excuse for this is not acceptable. Restaurant at the Governors is overrated. Breakfast in the dining space is very good but the staff are all young backpackers who would rather be somewhere else. If location is of paramount importance this is a go-to destination, otherwise, assess your options ....

I liked the one bedroom apartments. The restaurant had very good food and the nightly happy hour was enjoyable

I would stay at the Governors Lodge again. The staff are great, helpful and friendly. The cabins are basically a small house and very comfortable. The pool was good. If you have a car you park outside your cabin and the lodge can organise your car hire for you. Tour coaches stop outside reception. Bailey's restaurant is slightly upmarket with delicious food. The only negative is no free wifi and the paid wifi isn't stable. It's a walk into Burnt Pine township but no problem if you're fit.

Not clean and were supposed to get a free bottle of wine but didn't happen. It was also supposed to be air conditioned and self contained but nothing

We bought a package deal and the flight arrangements for our one case weighing 14.7 kg were dreadful. Air New Zealand who took over from Virgin from Sydney to Norfolk wanted 186 dollars one way to as the luggage was only covered from Melbourne to Sydney. Who would want a ticket that left their luggage in Sydney.
7-night trip

10/10

We loved the fact that we were picked up from the airport and delivered back there. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Daily maintenance was greatly appreciated. The quietness of the place was impressive - only birdsong to be heard on many occasions. The only disappointing part was Baileys Restaurant which was exceptionally slow in delivering meals and the meals were not good quality. However, there are many other choices of places to eat. Overall, we would highly recommend Governor's Lodge to anyone.

10/10

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and easy walking distance to town (but still recommend Re ting a car to see the Island)

8/10

Would definitely like to return to the island. Plenty to do and see. Great walks and scenery. Excellent eating places. Lots of history. No crime.

10/10

I think the resort has every thing that you require when you are on holidays including a very good receptionist that can look after all your needs when required. FF

10/10

We had booked without having much knowledge of the Island layout or accommodation available on it. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The stay at the Governors was a lovely experience, laid back, friendly, quiet efficiency, and when our flight was delayed on the day of departure they were very very accommodating and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. It was like staying with trusted friends.

6/10

Have always wanted to go to Norfolk Island and now have ticked it of my list. The island is very quaint and is trying very hard to keep up with the rest of the world. WIFI was impossible and this is what people want. Not a place we are likely to return to in a hurry. When booking check all tour sites and book a package with all the inclusions you can. Your package MUST include car hire. It is expensive if you don't have it in your package. Check ALL tour sites before parting with your money.

10/10

Good position to all the attractions as you do need a car on the Island. Staff were very helpful and always accomodating. Atmosphere was relaxed with beautiful landscaped grounds. Loved the spa. Would definitely stay here again.
