Top Spectacle Island Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Mantra Ettalong Beach

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Brooklyn Motel

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable room close to transport"

Perfect Patonga Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to stay in beautiful Patonga. Perfect for three couples (with three loos), but plenty of room for others in your group if needed. Highly recommended."

Luxurious Hamptons-Style Waterfront Cottage on Hawkesbury River in Brooklyn

10/10 Excellent

"Its a very great location.The house smelt musky at first. Like it’s been closed up for a long time but easily fixed once aired with doors and windows opened. kitchen was really well equippedExcellent spot for any one up for fishing."

The Beach House - close to everything!

10/10 Excellent

"A home away from home on the beach. I organized a two night work retreat for team leads and chose to stay at Michelle's, and I could not be happier. The house is not done justice by the photos; it is spacious and filled with light, with a roomy fully-stocked kitchen that made cooking dinner together easy. Uber Eats also delivers from as far as Woy Woy. The beach and bush is so nearby and the sunshine-flooded backyard has lovely outdoor seating options. The three beds were comfy and clean with many different pillows and electric blankets. There was wifi, a TV, and bluetooth speaker. Bathroom is massive and sparkling clean, with heat lights and great extraction fan. The whole house had so many lovely small touches, from the beach decor to the incredibly thorough guide to the important things like a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, etc. There were even some plastic take out containers so we could take our leftovers home instead of tossing them. Michelle's lovely house far exceeded expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a 3 bedroom vacation in a quiet, beautiful bush suburb.My only note for potential travellers is the Palm Beach to Patonga ferry is no longer in operation despite the misleading website still being up (as of review). This is not a reflection on this owner or property at all and not a criticism, but worth noting if you are planning to take the ferry across to visit Sydney's Northern Beaches."

Pearl Bliss, a sundrenched, secluded oasis 200m from spectacular Pearl Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful communication with the owner, a well kitted out kitchen (essential!) and rooms, and it being dog friendly made this property a pleasure to stay at. We have chosen this home twice for this reason."

The Beachfront, Dangar Island

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning river location. Lots of space & great views from almost every room! Super comfortable."

Waterfront with private jetty and sunset views. Boat access only. Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed over the Anzac long weekend just gone, and this place is great. The house is very comfortable and ensuites to both bedrooms is great. Steph, our host, was easy to talk to, replied quickly and was very nice. The view here is awesome and the quietness is great. If you have your own boat. the jetty is fantastic, there is plenty to do and a heap of fishing options. Is also a place where just sitting on the porch, relaxing and watching the world go by is very easy to do. A big plus for us was it being pet friendly so we could bring our dog."
