9.2/10 Wonderful! (131 reviews)
Belle Mont offers an incredible experience, and I’ve been there three times since 2018. It’s still my go-to place for a happy getaway. The rooms are spacious, well-maintained, and provide breathtaking views of the mountains from a rainforest setting. My only complaint was the limited evening service during my stay. The hotel clearly communicated the closing times to ensure that guests wouldn’t miss a meal. Despite this, I had a wonderful time and look forward to my next visit!

9/10 Wonderful! (140 reviews)
The hotel staff were friendly, informative and accommodating. The accommodation was clean and tidy, but we did have an issue with the window blinds, which did not close properly, some of the skirting boards were dusty, and the toilet brushes need to be replaced. The facilities and location were excellent. However, our meal at the Yatchmans Grill was disappointing.
