Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
The staff was great. Hotel is in the perfect locations. There were kids Christmas activities which was amazing. The downside is the parking. Too narrow and too low in height. The car was scratched even while opening the boot which managed to hit the low roof.

Harp Hotel
The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the sound of the pub was significantly more reduced in the room. Fantastic! The only reason I don’t give a 5 star review is because I tend not to trust 5 star reviews

Mantra Wollongong
They don’t move the blinds to clean so there was dead bugs by the windows and under the bed was very dirty. Needs a Reno and a good clean! Spacious though and good if you have a dog.

Rydges Campbelltown
Room was clean and staff were great, maybe a seperate area for kids in the lower level for breakfast as our 1 year old did get a little noisy at one stage and the poor cranky lady in the corner reading her book didn’t really appreciate it. But loved the stay and would stay again
