Testimonials
Posted on Google Carol AmisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fab stay at Cumberland. Tema was so the greatest hostess absolutely nothing was a bother to her. We had the en suite twin rooms and believe me we wanted for nothing, It's a handy location walk into town (I preferred the car) grab a few staples at the service station just over the road....Thank you guys, Ann and carolPosted on Google Shane LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our stay at the Cumberland. It had everything we needed and the service from the staff was amazing. A special thanks to Tima who was just wonderful, so helpful and kind. This little resort is super quiet and close to Burnt Pine town. The hire cars are old and run down but it was quirky and fun, you dont need much on the island to feel very at peace.Posted on Google JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tima and her team provide a warm and genuine welcome when you arrive at the Cumberland, before showing you around. The property is not “big-city-sparkling new” but the grounds and gardens were tidy, well maintained and consistent with most places we visited on the island. The rooms were large, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The local avocados provided were a nice touch and made for great breakfasts, and while also heeding Tima’s warning about their potency, my wife enjoyed adding some chillis picked from the garden too! There were plenty of good quality clean towels and crisp linen, and the robes provided were great and allowed me to maintain my modesty by fitting me better than a mini-shirt (unlike all the flashy joints we’ve ever visited). The location is fantastic, being only a couple minutes walk to restaurants and shopping, and having the hire car was really handy to get around the rest of the island. Norfolk Island is a very different and fascinating place, and clearly a challenging place to run any business. Everything that needs to be shipped in is unloaded by hand, so many resources can be scarce, expensive, or sometimes non-existent. I recommend leaving any pretentious expectations at home, and to bring your sense of humour, open mind and open heart, and you will be met with open arms by great people with old-world values that has been long-lost on the mainland. Thank you Tima and the Cumberland team for making us feel at home in your beautiful little slice of paradise!!Posted on Google Craig DelmenicoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks Tima . You made the 4 of us feel at home. We appreciated the upgrade 😊. The house was clean spacious and had everything that we needed.
