Hotel berhampiran Koloona Park, Wollongong

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.

I have stayed at the Quest now several times and it is always in a very good condition and the daily services is performed very professionally. I can certainly recommend this to any person looking to book a room for business or a private get away with your family.

Good location with outstanding seaview. Pity that the gym equipment is very basic

Booked for convenience to family. The rooms have been renovated and are exceptionally nice. Very clean and tidy. For two people the bedroom was just big enough with everything we needed. Most happy with comfort of the bed and pillows (which were just right!). We usually have an issue with enough electrical sockets due to phone charging, cpap machine etc (normally we take a power pack and extension lead).... but they have given each side of the bed two sockets AND a phone charging usb port in the middle. The bedside lamps are wired separately. Most impressed! Breakfast was supplied as a pack with milk, cereal and plastic container and wooden spoon. Tea and coffee making facilities with fridge in room. Hairdryer available from reception but I always take my own. The bathroom was spacious with a rain shower head which I didnt want to leave. Very well designed and decorated. Air conditioned with dark blind. Only downside (if it is really) is that being a pub they have music on (we stayed on a Saturday night). We expected that might be the case and you could hear muffled music upstairs but 10.30 on the dot it finished so we had a perfectly quiet nights sleep. Only downside would be for someone who could not navigate the stairs as there is no elevator. So good were staying again this weekend!

BW City Sands was a great choice for our friends weekend. Equally good for anyone looking for a bit more space than just a hotel room. If your looking for a clean, welcoming boutique style property in a great location with facilities and views to match this is it.

we enjoyed the stay. it seemed well organised. Only one thing the floor that joins all the units together is so damn noisy. we were awaken many times through the two nights by kids and others walking and running along the floors of their units. That part I could only give a 3/10 rating. We were there to enjoy a very restful time. I'm sure we affected others as we walked along our floors as well. the sound along the floors is overbearing. you don't hear anything else. It was pouring outside but it was virtually silent but the ecco along the floors was overbearing. I don't know it this will help. Also the cleaner only carried in a towel when he went into clean the unit next door. I didn't see any sprays or cleaning cloths?? in these times sanitizing when cleaning is of utmost importance. It seemed that he was just tiding up not cleaning.

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.

Good for a budget and short stay. Stayed here as a friend went to a show in Wollongong. Surprisingly the bed was actually comfy, and the room was tidy. However the room was a bit too hot as it was facing the afternoon sun, and didn't have air con, but room did have fan. Other down side there was no mini fridge to keep drinks cold, and only access to a double power point. Room access is via stairs and has no lift access. Bath in shared bathroom needs bit of an update but shower was ok. Limited parking on site as well, but there is street parking near by.

ame here for 2 nights - because we had to - in our campervan trip due to its ratings and position close to the sea. Easy to book online and when we arrived we had an okay welcome, but o chance to pick the place we want - because theoretically it was full. The reality was different with a number of sites being vacant. The sites were a good size and had grass plus there were paths to the beach and a code to get into and out of everything. area. We asked to be put in a quiet place, but unfortunately were given a place in the middle of a large group of party people with multiple sites, who were continually walking through our site, playing games and fighting on our site, plus we’re up the after 1.30am with their party. We asked to move and were grudgingly moved to a different site with the assistant saying that the group in question are leaving and that most of the sites are fully booked and unavailable. Location is great - next to the sea with a little walk through the dunes to a beautiful beach and paths to it. The toilets are very clean and function well, but there not many of them, while the showers are really good. There was no WiFi at all which was disappointing. Good value for money @$68 for a powered site for 2 nights. Would be 5* if we had better attitude from the reception assistant and had WiFi.

Excellent experience. Check in through the pub. Friendly people. Close to shops. Close to lake front walking trail, then to the coast. Place to stay in Lake Illawarra.
