At first glance this appears to be an expensive holiday, but when you consider effort required to feed yourself, cook it, clean up, this becomes reasonable value. Great service, friendly staff, relaxes, simple delicious food..would stay again! More

We stayed at Pinetrees for 5 nights...And if we go back, will stay there again! As a family run business they've managed to maintain their hospitality, friendliness and personalized service. The accommodation is basic and clean. (They do provide fresh beach towels everyday, which is an awesome idea if you think about it!) The food is great! We ate in... More

Pinetrees provided one of the most enjoyable holidays I've experienced. The staff are unfailingly friendly. The food was particularly good - and of course it is all provided.

Husband and I had a lunch buffet at Pinetrees - due to everything being so expensive due to transport of food etc. Pinetrees was definitely good money for value for meals. Especially the lunches. Did not stay here so cannot comment on accommodation. Lisa More

Booked and visited for a casual evening meal. Comments about arriving too early, drinks served reluctantly.

Likewise, if you need to have... More

This hotel/guesthouse is excellent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and have lovely privte porch aresa facing the gardens. The food is SUPERB. The owners have a policy of making this place super friendly and caring. The staff know your names and what you enjoy doing . They cheerfully help you to make arrangements. we thoroughly recommend it. More

Four ladies went to celebrate their 80th birthdays. It was the first time any of us had been to Lord Howe, though my mother spoke fondly of a holiday at Pinetrees in her youth when she travelled by sea plane. Unfortunately we weren't up to cycling but we walked extensively despite two being on walking sticks. We had some wonderful... More
