I had a delightful stay at the hotel with beautiful water views, comfortable rooms, and attentive service. However, the room rates felt a bit high for the size. The location was superb, offering stunning views and cozy beds, while the dining experience was superb with culinary excellence. The Pierhouse at the end of the Pier truly can't be beaten.

I had an amazing time at The Pierhouse! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully presented with a lovely view across the water. The staff were incredibly helpful and made my stay special, despite the challenges they faced. The location is absolutely stunning, overlooking Lismore Island with breathtaking views of the mountains. The dining experience was terrific, and the restaurant had excellent food. However, the lack of soundproofing in the rooms due to the boiler room nearby was a minor drawback.
