Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort

8/10 Good
"Beautiful location, close to beach, nice amenities, close to town. Minor maintenance issues the clothes rack broken and the sofa could not be extended as it was stuck. These didn’t bother us much but would have been nice if they were addressed already. Overall it’s a nice place for vacation and we would like to visit again."
