We enjoyed Arajilla’s comfortable bungalows and their closeness to the town area and activities. We rode bikes everywhere which was so easy from the accommodation.

We loved the Banyan Suite in amongst the trees. It was a short walk/bike ride to the beaches, hikes, shops and restaurants. Our favourite thing was the attention to detail. Arajilla provided bicycles and snorkelling gear as well as beach towels, day bags/backpacks, island maps and information, and breakfast in the room for each day. It was a perfect stay and we will surely come back!

Everything was available that we needed. Excellent and convenient location.

There wasn’t anything. Our stay was perfect.

Good location and nice to have bicycles at your disposal

As returning guests, we were deeply saddened by our recent stay at Arajilla Resort. Having enjoyed previous visits, we have fond memories of a vibrant restaurant and a communal dining area where guests would gather to exchange tales of their day’s adventures. That warm, social atmosphere is completely gone, and the new environment feels cold and hollow. For one of the more expensive accommodations on Lord Howe Island, there is very little left to justify the premium price. Service was nearly non-existent; with only one staff member at reception, we frequently found the desk unattended when we needed assistance. The most significant letdown, however, is the dining. The restaurant is now closed, and the "breakfast" provided is frankly dismal: four slices of bread in cling wrap, a few pastries, and a small jar of yogurt. For a luxury resort, it just looks sad. Arajilla used to be a standout destination, but it has lost the unique charm and high standards that once set it apart. We plan to return to the island in the next six months, but we will definitely be booking our stay elsewhere.
