Hotel berhampiran Wollamai Point Park, 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

At the time of check in and check out, both Receptionists went out of their way to assist us with information about the apartments. They also offered recommendations to local restaurants for dinner and breakfast, and both young ladies did so with a smiling face and a happy demeanour.

A clean and minimalistic room. Main complaint is no information in the room e.g. restaurant hours and menus , wifi access. etc. Had to find out using my mobile phone and searching. Tea/ coffee supplied were bare minimum BUT drinking cup was not heat resistant so had to wait for it to cool off before touching . Looked “ modern and clique” but not practical. Very disappointing when you need a nice cup of tea after travel. The cup was also only the size of a glass not a mug or cup size. No rubbish bin ? Overlooked by staff. Heater was very…very noisy as mentioned by another visitor. Staff on main desk were exceptionally good and helpful. Okay place for a night - price was right !

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

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.
