Comfortable, budget stay

We have an overnight stay at this motel. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. Our bathroom was renovated and parking outside our ground floor room. The room was spacious and reception friendly and helpful. It offers room service and has a pool and tennis court (which we didn’t use). Overall a pleasant stay.

Disliked: Amenities
This room was not worth the nearly $200 we paid for it. It’s very dated, bed was hard, pillows very flat, the shower screen was broken and replaced with a curtain and the air conditioner was in a corner behind a cupboard so it didn’t really serve the purpose from where it was. We go to Wollongong often but won’t return here again

Perfect for when visiting family and friends, rooms are big, beds are comfortable, not modern or brand new but always clean. Some facilities like pool and tennis if you wish to spend time at the motel. Walkable to the beach.

Toilet was running the whole time and taps ‘groaned’ every time you turned it on. Road was noisy outside. But it was clean and tidy. Reception was very friendly and helpful when I arrived. Pool and tennis court looked nice and clean too

Staff were excellent. The name of resort needs to be changed to motel ans that’s what it is and price needs to be reduce to about $100 per night compared to other beautiful places I have stayed at for the same price. An old bandaid was left in the shower which makes you think how clean the rest of the room was eg sheets etc. Again could not fault the staff.

This place is far from a resort. With the amount they charge per night, far from worth it and I can’t believe they charge so much for an awful old place. The room smelled really bad. The bed spreads and blankets were not clean. There was hair on the blankets likely from the previous people. The bathroom was old and smelled and not clean in the shower. I didn’t step foot in there. And it just felt overall awful and made my skin itch. Furthermore the tv was super old, so don’t expect to watch Netflix or try to stream from your device. Don’t waist your money, it’s not worth it.
