Nova Kiama
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Boat Harbour Motel
"The boat harbour view was pleasant from our room. The extra bed in the room should have been a King single,our sonโs feet were hanging off the end. The basin in the bathroom was very very low. The shower needed a good scrub. Better quality toilet paper,so thin."
Adina Apartment Hotel Wollongong
"It was second time to stay in Adina. Always has lovely staff. Thank you!"
Five Islands Hotel
"Very clean room, modern ensuite and good quality towels. Large television and tea and coffee available in the room. Enjoyed our overnight stay - but there was a slight cigarette smoke smell upon occasion which wasn't so good."
Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
"We have stayed at the hotel many times and it has always been good. Unfortunately this time around I had to get my sons out of the pool when one of them discovered a condom floating around."
Lakeside Inn Illawarra
"Very clean very quiet"
Wollongong Serviced Apartments
"Would recommend to everybody a nice place to stay"
The Belmore Apartments Hotel
"Reception not 24 hours but there are after hours key pick up and drop off. Parking was not a problem and after hours key pick was smooth. All appliances works except one hot tap in the bathroom was extremely loud when turning on. Upstairs is also steps only with no lift, have to be careful if there are issues with stairs when booking."
Lakeview Hotel Motel
"Perfect location. Pub across the carpark with a bottle shop Close to shops Staff very helpful"
