Top Kembla Heights Hotel Reviews

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"The room , grounds and property were immaculate. Staff helpful and friendly. Brilliant little shop to pick up forgotten items or something needed. Fantastic cocktails and food and in house bars and restaurant. Our first stay , we can not recommend more highly."

Thirroul Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"It was like stepping back in time when we walked into our room at this motel - old fashioned and very much 1960's style. (The bathroom floor tiling took me back to the days when I used to live with my grandmother who had a bathroom floor of the same design!) However, these remarks are not meant as unkind criticisms. This motel was well located near our party venue and there was parking right outside our room. The spacious room was spotless and had all the toiletry and tea/coffee making supplies which we have come to expect in Australian motels. The bed was really comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. All in all this motel suited us admirably and I would recommend it. Travelers should note that there is no reception as it is a 'self check-in' motel, which means you need to get room number and key code before you can get into the room. However, this is a straight forward process. My only negative criticism is that it was a bit overpriced, especially as we stayed in the depth of winter."
