Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This might seem an odd listing on a tourist site but it is useful for visitors and tourists to know about because it offers free wifi. Whilst it’s increasingly unusual for holiday rentals not to provide wifi, it can still happen in small, coastal towns. It also has games and puzzles which can be handy if you have a rainy spell while holidaying here.
The library is beside the Singing Bridge. During the week, opening days are every second day - Mon, Wed and Fri, from 9 - 5pm. It’s also open on Saturday, from 9:30-12.
Other than that, there is a small playground out the front and an interesting local artwork called Pioneer Poles which consists of 6 totem poles, each one painted to represent an early local pioneer from the 1800s. An information board tells the story of the Engel and Motum families, early settlers who helped to build up the fledgling fishing and timber industries that once thrived here.
This is something of a community hub and directly across the road, you’ll also find the local Arts & Craft centre and gift shop as well as the Tourist Information Centre.

As a traveler it was great to find a place with free WIFI. First time I was here I sat outside with fine internet capacity. Second time I was inside and unfortunately this day the line was down and due to Corona, they nice people there could not tell when it would be up running again. Very nice staff.

Slowest WiFi and limited to under 201 megabytes lol. Quite rude staff who seem unfriendly . or its to hard to help. Get over yourselves. Also hot and stuffy inside. Toilets could be cleaned better.

Tea Gardens is a mecca for retirees and holiday makers. The library caters for these groups very well. There is free WiFi, newspapers, local guides and a range of easy reading books - specialising in murder mysteries and thrillers - holiday reading. They will however order in books from around the county if you have an area you want to research. An asset for the community.

Wonderful, welcoming staff, both employees and volunteers. The Tea Gardens library has an extensive range of reading books, CDs and video. There are computers for public use and WiFi is free.
The staff are more than happy to help and will order in books, DVDs etc if not available from the shelf.
Each Wednesday afternoon, school children can attend a homework corner where suitably accredited volunteers are there to assist.
