Top Strickland State Forest Hotel Reviews

Encore by Mingara

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was fantastic and the gym / pool access nearby with classes was a great bonus, especially for an early morning or late evening class. Hotel was well kept with great parking outside and decent food options at the club adjoining the hotel."

voco Gosford by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent facilities, ambitious, kind and polite staff, it has it all!"

Gosford Palms Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Gosford Palms Motel was excellent. The weather was warm and we walked into a cool, clean and cheerfully decorated room. The pool has just been renovated and is looking perfectly blue and sparkly. We had an evening and a morning swim, as it was so refreshing. The staff were extremely welcoming and considerate: we left behind some AirPods; but they called + we were able to return to pick them up. We are so appreciative. I highly recommend staying here for a cheerful break away from home."

Terrigal Pacific Coastal Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place not too far from the beach and the esplanade. Room was nice and cosy with good amenities. Free parking. Would 100% stay here again."

Galaxy Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff really friendly and accommodating. Explained accommodation services along with club activities. Also advised on the opportunity of taking out membership with club. Absolute bonus. Thanks guys"

Ashwood Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel is well situated, the room was very spacious with very little noise. The staff were friendly and amenable. There were good amenities for in house meals. Bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Towels were large and really fluffy. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Parking was right outside the door. We had a very enjoyable stay."

The Select Inn Gosford

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and well located in Sydney."

Where the Bush Meets the Beach: Nature’s Perfect Escape

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot near Erina Fair. Really quick and friendly communication with Host."

Modern 2b2b apartmemt. close to water front

8/10 Good

"While we had a pleasant stay, the check in process was anything but smooth (I have raised the issues with the Hosts to improve this). The Unit itself is nice, however, the finer points could improve it (Face washers, proper bath matt, tea towels, extra blankets - not supplied); Window furnishings look strange (ie Not full length). There is a prominent, but intermittent 'pluming noise' which may annoy light sleepers in the Master Bedroom. The location is excellent (adjacent building construction noise was minimal). Although you can park in the alloted parking spot, we found it more practical to park in the visitors spots on the basement level. I lived on the Central Coast for 27yrs, so, I knew where everything is and what to do, but, the Welcome Package is not very enlightening for Guests who are new to the area, I have indicated this to the Hosts as well. The Apartment was excellent value and much better than a typical Hotel/ Motel option. If the Hosts act on the improvements I have raised with them, your stay should be both smooth and pleasant."
