"Needed a last minute place to stay on my trip south. The staff at check-in was really friendly, the food at the pub was delicious and the hotel room was really clean with a comfortable bed. Exactly what I needed for a one night stop through!"

Grand Hotel Kiama

8/10 Good

"Overall a nice stay. The hotel was in a good spot close to all the shops ,cafes and coastal walks. The room was big and had a very high ceiling. I liked the bistro.It was very handy. The staff were friendly.The parking was a little bit difficult as everything is two hours limited from 9am to 5pm. The hotel does not provide parking for customers."

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and central. Across from beach. Issues with moths they were everywhere and cockroach in our bathroom. Some of the light switches and power points didn’t work in our room. But the room looked to be recently renovated, service was great. Pool wasn’t really heated as indicated and didn’t like location of sauna inside woman’s bathroom nor that they were separate to men’s. Coukdnt have a sauna with my husband. Kids activity room was spacious and good activities. North bar menu could be expanded on a bit more too."
