Needs improvement but tima a big asset
If it wasn’t for the good natured Tima, the resort mgr,, then I probably would be somewhat hesitant in staying. I used half a can of mortein with 3 cockroaches in the bathroom walls and one scurrying across the bed head ledge on my first night. Then l had clusters of ants in my luggage so when I took clothing out each day, t would have to shake it out. There are no provided drawers for clothing. Also photos on websites of the Cumberland do not show clearly all the areas of the resort. To feature the ‘White House’ a large house in a completely different location some 10 minutes by car away should be kept in mind.
Look overall ueah ok but needs improvement
Calling this property 4-star is a bit fanciful. It's all very dated and tired and the grounds and gardens need urgent refreshing. Full praise for Tima and her team though who were very professional and welcoming.

This property is well situated for walking into town for meals and shopping. It is a little tired,the showers don't work to well, but the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to self cater, and the beds were clean and comfy and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We had just the relaxing four week holiday we were hoping for with some unexpected additions, e.g. free avocados, bananas, book library. The manager, Timar was attentive to any request and made us feel very welcome.
I travel to Norfolk often for work and will not be staying anywhere else after experiencing Cumberland Resort. Tima and her team are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The villas are perfectly maintained and spotlessly clean. Lovely modern kitchen and BBQ on the deck if you get sick of eating out.
Had a two bedroom two bathroom Villa. Good as we could do our own breakfast and lunches. Plenty of room with outdoor alfresco as well. Close to town - five minute walk. No air conditioning had ceiling fans in bedrooms. Needed one in lounge room. Staff were excellent very friendly and helpful.
Tema and her staff were fantastic and were willing to do all they can to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms were immaculately clean, however the property in general could do with an update. Cumberland is easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Make sure you book tours through Tema, allow her to weave her magic!

Well located at the end of the main shopping street. Out unit was spacious with all the amenities eg cooking, foxtel, car provided for the cost of insurance only. Owner Rael, manager Tima and all other staff are friendly, welcoming and very helpful.
This is a lovely place, very clean and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything, including a picnic set with thermos and the first morning's breakfast. It was easy to organise tours and dinners and a short walk to shops and cafes.
Good clean self-contained unit, walking distance to shops and cafes. Hire cars are available. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. They will also book local tours.
The staff were wonderful. The unit was clean and tidy and fully stocked with everything we needed.
WiFi is very unreliable but I believe it's like that all over the island so pretty much out of their control.
Beautiful friendly staff and welcoming, always accommodating and ready to help. Location within town is convenient and very quiet, perfect for a break here in Norfolk Island.
My husband and I loved the resort and what they provided in the units . Temar was amazing treating us like long lost family. our only complaint was that our unit was not serviced we ha to ask for a linen change as it was so hot we were sweating in bed so the sheets and towels were very manky. plus we were on holidays and still had to sweep the floors wipe over the floors as well what they provided in the unit was amazing we just would have liked our unit at least serviced teicw during our weeks stay.
Norfolk Island is a lovely, quaint place to visit and the Cumberland Resort and Spa is a perfect base to see the Island from. It's a short walk into the heart of town so you don't need a car if you don't want to, but a car is available and included in your accommodation costs if you'd like to explore more (and you should!). You just need to pay insurance costs.
The accommodation itself is very clean, spacious and comfortable.
The staff are amazing. Rael, Tima and the team are extremely welcoming and helpful and will go out of their way to ensure your stay is enjoyable.
