"Sage Hotel Wollongong is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at, largely because of the five-star customer service. The staff were fantastic—welcoming, friendly and always happy to help. The hotel itself is lovely. Our room was spacious and clean, with amazing views, and the beach is right next door. It’s also an easy walk to plenty of cafés and restaurants. The buffet breakfast offered was great. Good variety and range of options. Yummy breakfast! I’d definitely recommend Sage Hotel Wollongong. The customer service is second to none!"
