Illawarra Holiday Rentals

"Good the room was clean"

"We stayed in the one bedroom executive unit in late March from Monday to Thursday in room 201. * Location is excellent, close to the train station and restaurants, easily walkable to blowhole and surf beach * Secure parking with keycard access, there are two levels and there was no shortage on weekdays * The suite itself was clean, but was more like an apartment with vinyl floors. It was comfortable but not stylish or luxurious. * Bed was reasonably comfortable * There were signs of wear and tear where maintenance could be improved - roller blinds in bedroom were flayed barely functional. Air conditioning units displaying filters needed cleaning. * Kitchenette was functional for making a cooked breakfast. Tea and coffee and long-life milk provided, but you'll need to BYO oil, salt, pepper etc. Note that the fridge does not have a freezer compartment - so there is no ice for cold drinks. * Strict 'No seafood policy'! There was a rather strict warning about getting charged $300 should any sign of seafood be detected in your room - including remnants or smells of seafood etc. Which seems a bit over the top and unfriendly for a coastal property. Taking the wording literally, you can't even have smoked salmon or canned tuna in your room! Overall, it was ok, but the no seafood policy puts us off and we probably won't stay again for that reason. A general warning about applying surcharges if not keeping the place clean and odour-free should suffice. "

"The motel was quiet. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The reception staff was helpful and friendly. I definately recommend this motel "

"Kitchen was fully equipped. Just the odour inside the room wasnt good. Overall nice stay. "

"Could up grade to 2ply toilet paper. Everything else was ok. "

"The apartment was great. It was a good size and we loved the kitchen and the fact that it had a balcony and a washer and dryer. The secure parking for no additional money was fantastic. It was good value for your money. The only issue was the fan in our bedroom was old and not working that great. We needed it to sleep because there was no air conditioning in the bedroom."

"I found it very expensive for what it was. Contacting the site was difficult and not even a bottle of fresh water to drink on arrival. "

"Clean, cheap room and shared bathrooms. But sound insulation was a bit lacking."

"Needed a place to stay for the night. Our room was clean and had good facilities. The staff were friendly. The restaurant on site was also very convenient."
