We recently stayed here for two nights in a family room as two adults with a 14-year-old. The rooms are small, but in great condition, not sure if this is a new hotel or there has been a recent renovation. Rooms are tastefully decorated , particularly like the bathroom. Staff were lovely and helpful during check-in and at any interaction. Beds were fairly comfortable. Pool was lovely. Combi coffee van in the foyer was handy as was the fitness room. Central location and easy walk to everything A few negatives - rooms could do with drinking glasses, plates and tissues. Bathroom could do with a toilet brush and a towel rack rather than 2 small hooks if you wish guests to not get fresh towels each day. Issue with our air-conditioning, very inadequate. We had it on a very low temperature setting and a high fan speed and it barely made any difference so we found it quite muggy in our room, and slept poorly the first night. We booked a family room and the pictures online indicated that there was some facilities in the room such as a microwave and a sink however, we do not have any of these facilities in our room. Another thing to mention is that there is not a designated parking spot at the front of the hotel for when you arrive and check in. There is secure parking underneath the hotel however this requires a key card which you can’t get until you check in. There are parking spots out the front, but when we arrived, they were all taken so they proved to be a little bit challenging.

Went to check in and the girl at the counter had her back to me, knowing I was there. It was awkward when she finally turned around after 10 seconds of digging around in her handbag. Otherwis

Short but enjoyable stay.

An extension of another trip further south we decided to stay at Kiama. The hotel is in a great position with eateries , cafes, the beach and the railway station close by. The room was quiet, shower good and kitchenette handy. The pool area and heated pool were also good. Undercover secure parking was excellent.

Disappointing

Seemed understaffed plenty of people waiting to check in because of the one person on reception was running between the food van and checking people in. Room was small with no chair to sit on at the desk. A solitary stool was provided, too bad if you have a bad back. The only other piece of furniture was the bed. Disappointed considering the price of the room.
