Hotels Near Aboriginal Site Conservation in Sydney

Upon arrival the hotel looked tidy and friendly and considering it wasn’t cheap I was expecting to have a nice comfortable stay but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The lobby was warm and cosy and this really tricks guests into thinking the whole hotel would be in similar condition. I checked in and was given just one room card for 2 people and it took 3 attempts and trips back to the check in desk to get it to work and after complaining even more we was finally given a second card that subsequently never worked. The lift was filthy and freezing cold and the fire door was wedged open on the 2nd floor which is both dangerous and illegal and my partner who happens to be a fire inspector asked the hotel to close it and was told it was not her responsibility. Our room had a lovely view over the water but unfortunately that was the only lovely thing about it. The decor was incredibly dated and the room was freezing cold, smelled of damp and absolutely filthy. The hotel was full so even after several complaints we couldn’t be moved but unfortunately the hotel had zero interest in fixing any of the problems. The sofa was filthy, the curtains had moth holes, the bathroom was damaged and filthy with a leaking bath and a very strong damp smell. The room was freezing cold and dark. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone and I’ll never return to it again. Absolutely disgusting service and the quality of the rooms is beyond a joke

The bed is large and the environment is very quiet, not far from the beach.

Terrific location and very reasonably priced especially when compared to other NRMA parks which have become far outside our families financial reach. Lagoon on one side and beach the other - surf, SUP, kayak, bike ride, walk or swim. The options are limitless. Park has a small water park and playground for the kids. To be honest not much more is needed as the the lagoon and beach are so close and council parks also within walking distance. Very large sites however they do need some urgent upkeep as most has large dips (understandably though we did stay at the tail end of high season and so maintenance may have been planned for the winter months). Only a few sites have a artificial grass “slab” - it would be great to have more sites with these. Plenty of amenities which was great to see - could of done with more regular cleaning as they were quite dirty at times. Like all caravan parks a stay can be made or broken by the others within the park - we were lucky with families of small kids around us. Not wanting to be a party pooper as I know all parks have them but the go-carts are dangerous as parents let their kids go loose without supervision. We have had our car damaged at a previous park and this time a group of kids managed to get tangled on our awning ropes - thankfully I was in the van as I would hate to think of the damage that could of been caused as the kids tried to tug it free. Lovely coffee cart on site with fresh baked items. Also reasonably priced. Staff friendly and we enjoyed a free sausage sizzle on the first night - a small gesture which means a lot and helps build the community feel of the park. Overall a lovely stay - we will be returning!

The place is simple, but incredibly comfortable with everything you need for a good nights sleep whilst in transit. It has great facilities (pool, spa, sauna, playground, tennis courts etc and restaurant / room service with a large menu). The staff are the biggest highlight, and we’d like to give a big shout out to Sam who was an absolute delight from the moment we checked in. Warm, competent, natural and knows how to go the extra mile without it seeming contrived. She was particularly brilliant with our children, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Very grateful to have inadvertently found this place for our overnight! Would happily come back again.

Great place to stay for a weekend, even if the weather is lousy. Excellent room 103, opposite the beach. 2 x queen beds and a lounge and big balcony. Weather was terrible, so we ordered to our room coffee and breakfast, and one night an excellent pizza. Had a few drinks downstairs and there was a great duo band on. Couldn’t hear a thing in our rooms as the sound proofing was so good. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed one night at this motel as part of a road trip. It’s a small motel on the busy Pacific Highway. It has an Asian influence both in reception and the grounds and has a kitchen that delivers Chinese food to the room. Apparently it’s very good! Our room was tiny but we knew that when booking. It had a Queen and single bed but the friendly guy at reception said it would be $10 extra to use the single bed. That was OK as we had only booked a Queen. The bathroom was really small. 3m x 1m. It would be difficult for a large person to navigate. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the wifi was good and although small, the room was more than adequate for one night. We could park the car right outside our door. There was a microwave which is not mentioned in the room details. We heard hardly any noise from the Highway in room 6 close to back of property. We were happy with our stay.

We have previously stayed here when it was still the Travelodge. There have been a few upgrades since, which were needed. Bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows. Some negatives however: no bedside lights, no hand towel in the bathroom and no luggage rack. When we asked about these we were met with blank stares. We purchased a portable LED light from our local Bunnings to use as a reading light. We paid for parking ($20 per night), but found 2 out of our 5 nights the car park was full and we were unable to park in the hotel car park. It appears that when there's a rugby game on, guests at the hotel let their friends park in the hotel car park. In addition, the disability parking spots were frequently occupied by those without the applicable parking permit. Hotel staff was not at all interested, but did give us a refund for the 2 nights when parking was not available.
