Hotel berhampiran Keera Vale, Wollongong

I must say that the pictures were somewhat different to the reality. The motel is in a great location, but it is pretty old and pretty tired. The room was reasonably clean, and the bed OK for one night. The bathroom was adequate although there is nowhere in the shower to put anything (ie no niche/ or rack/ or soap dish). The layout was a bit awkward - at the end of the main room was a small room which contained a handbasin, a bench with microwave, a frig and some hanging space. This room had a door, which opened against the hanging area and bench with frig, microwave etc. At the other end of the bench there were some drawers containing a toaster and lots of toast crumbs, and these were blocked by the bin. If you require a hairdryer, I'd suggest taking your own. There was one, but the ”safety features” rendered it basically useless. If you do decide to stay here, take care to actually book through the motel - their website is not optimised, and you will probably end up booking through some other site and paying more. Our room was at the back so we did not hear road noise although I suspect it may be quite noise if you get a front room

When booking was told only one room left King Ocean view at $275 !!!! a night Advertising says stunning Ocean views True if u can see the ocean thru the massive trees right in front of the Balcony Certainly not clear Ocean view and as time goes on the view will be more restricted Don’t know who owns the land the motel or council If council then the motel should be asking for some pruning or indeed get rid of them If the motel own the land then change the advertising because it is not stunning views if u have to Bob down or up to see the wonderful view The Motel is old old old The room does not provide plates etc only some useless wooden knife fork The reason I was told Everything removed due to covid and now there is a rest But only open for dinner Wed to Sat so ??? Not even a tea towel in the room The fridge was one of those absolute mini jobs about 40cm x 40 cm very very small and fits virtually nothing Kitchenette very small. . Balcony extremely narrow two people can’t pass and u can sit but can’t stretch out Some carpet stains to The air con one of those old big in the floor Jobs very noisey but have to say it did cool well if u can stand the noise The pluses yes u can walk to the water The room was clean linen bed no problems all very good. Overall found it very old very expensive and the in room facilities such as plates steel cutlery etc should be a given Luke so many Motels around Aust now this one needs some updating

I stayed for two nights and I found Pioneer Sands wonderful. The rooms were very clean and roomy. I stayed in the one bedroom apartment with balcony. Very modern looking apartments with all facilities in the room which you require for a wonderful couples or family stay. The bedding was very comfortable and the pillows were to die for. Sleeping was not a problem whatsoever. Televisions with cable were in the living area and in the main bedroom. The apartments also have an outdoor pool which was a plus. Very close to the Towradgi Beach Hotel, parks and beaches and only 5 minutes drive to Wollongong CBD. I would recommend a stay at Pioneer Sands due to the very clean apartments together with the wonderful staff who were very approachable and friendly. Thank you for my stay.

The Coniston Hotel had a large, well appointed room with good amenities. The bed was very comfortable and there was a large screen tv. There is a large, free car park. The hotel’s bistro is very good. There is a good selection of well priced wines. The food is of a very high standard and the menu offers something for most tastes. The Spanish Garlic Prawns were a real delight and the Marinated Lamb Rump, served on a mushroom risotto, was also an excellent dish.

We stayed in ” the point” cabin where it's balcony over looks the sea ( rocks). You hear the waves all day breaking across the rock shelf especially high tide. The balcony faces north looking over the sea swimming pool. There are modern play equipment for kids 5 minute walk north on the beach. Rock pool is brilliant. Cabin modern clean comfortable. With it own electric bbq on the balcony. Staff at park obliging. Pont is expensive yet is right on the rocks, gets the sea salt air breeze,is private ,balcony protects from southerly breeze.

The Pantry was brilliant, all the team were so helpful and friendly, I must mention that the bacon and egg roll was easily the best I’ve ever had, I also had the chicken stroganoff which was also great, so a particular mention for Jess, the chef, but the whole gang were fantastic.
