The garage was locked, so we weren’t provided with a car space, and parking around the resort was quite difficult to find. Communication was awful — I sent several emails before our stay and received no reply, which was really frustrating. The pools were lovely and well-maintained, but only opening from 9am was a bit inconvenient, especially for early risers. There was also nowhere onsite to buy a morning coffee. On the positive side, the tennis court and facilities were great, and the BBQ areas were clean and enjoyable. The water sports activities looked fun. Overall, the resort has potential, but the accommodation, communication, and some key amenities really need improvement. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hasna Nov 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Clean and spacious room.

It was excellent and we will be returning. One suggestion/request...could the heated pool be kept a little warmer in winter? Otherwise we enjoyed the restaurant, loved the outlook of our townhouse and generally we’re very pleased with our stay. ##### Jenny Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jillian Dec 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely Resort We stayed in a 2 bedroom loft cottage. It was lovely and spacious, comfy beds (although I would suggest bringing own pillow). The garden's were lovely and nice pools. The tv in our cottage was in a strange position, ie not in front of the lounges which was a bit frustrating to watch. The restaurant was also being renovated during our stay so no-where to eat but there was a range of courtesy buses available to pubs etc. But all up nice place to stay. ##### Jillian Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ange Nov 10, 2024 Liked: Amenities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness The setting was amazing, location beautiful but was glad we only stayed two nights as the kitchen was average. It seemed that the crockery, cutlery and pots and pans hadn’t had a good clean in a while and there wasn’t any dishwasher tablets to remedy. ##### Ange Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff Dec 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### The 4 pools were the clincher. Check in staff were amazing. We got an awesome upgrade. The apartments are awesome, really clean & have everything you need. The 4 pools & numerous tennis courts got a bit of use (mainly pools) loved that both rooms had an ensuite. Overall definitely would recommend. ##### Geoff Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The property was a little tired carpet needs replacing Service at the restaurant was disorganised ##### Marie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tatyana, Jindalee Mar 3, 2023 Disliked: Communication Never ever again. ##### Tatyana Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### John Nov 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Very clean rooms and kitchen space. Very bright, needs curtains in bedrooms, mattress very old, felt every spring, sheets and blankets for bedding. $80 for lock out call out free at 630pm Saturday Broken glass around footpaths. Fun boat hire facilities and tennis courts ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian Dec 10, 2023 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness The office was closed at 6:50pm when we arrived (no prior communication or call confirming), however there was an out of hours number to call, who were helpful in checking in. The accommodation was fine, dated, but suitable for our stay. There was a large amount of dead ants in the cutlery drawer, as well as a couple of live cockroaches running around, the following morning we also found a large amount of live ants running around kitchen (no food left out as we ate out and didnt have a chance to buy any). On a positive the amenities were great, tennis courts, pools which were great for kids. ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Vania Apr 27, 2023 Liked: Communication #### Nice place with beautiful landscapes The resort is really nice has 3 pool beautiful pools, reception contacted me to give me the password for late check in and everything went well, the last day I asked if I could pay late check out as it was my birthday and I wanted to go for a swim the receptionist was really kind and didn't charge me at all the late check out, the only issue that I had was that I requested two rooms with queen bed and one room with two single beds and they gave me two rooms with two single beds but it wasn't a big deal we just put the beds together and everything was ok. The house where we stayed is in good condition but some wardrobes smell like humid or something but again it wasn't a big deal. The price was a little bit higher because was public holiday but was still affordable I will definitely book again but I would recommend contact directly the resort if you need specific bedrooms set up. ##### Vania Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication We had booked accommodation with raffertys months ago, providing full details of the current guests, including two young children. Yet what was provided was not child friendly. We made this clear to the reception and felt like the feedback was not acknowledged appropriately. Did not feel like our booking details were even taken into account when being designated a room. The access to parking was not great either. How can guests park anywhere close by with very limited parking anywhere and no access to the garage? ##### Joseph Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Samantha Oct 3, 2022 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### Family trip We had a family stay and enjoyed our visit. Quiet location, 2 bedroom loft cottage. We found the accommodation to be spacious and well situated. We enjoyed the surrounds and wildlife. Pleasant and welcoming staff. Kids enjoyed outdoor and covered pool. Our main issue was around cleanliness and we felt the bedding could have been better cleaned. The use of clean sheets wrapped around a quilt that did not appear to be washed was not what we expected. There was makeup spilt on the carpet. The crockery was not optimally cleaned. Staff were helpful when we advised of the broken items in the kitchen and let them know the makeup spill was there upon our arrival. We were happy with our courtyard and balcony overlooking a nature area and the gardens and communal areas were well maintained. We enjoyed the boat trip from the local company on Lake Macquarie. ##### Samantha Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Victor Jan 26, 2023 Liked: Amenities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We have been going to Raffertys for over 20 years. We love the resort, facilities and location which is fantastic however the rooms definitely need some work and attention. The lounges and dining room tables and chairs are atrocious and completely uncomfortable. The bathrooms are old and need work. Most flyscreens are broken so you can’t leave the door open as mosquitoes will come in. The pillows and bedding also needs updating. Overall the interior of the rooms urgently needs work. The facilities generally are beautiful. It is a real shame there is no Kids club in the school holidays anymore- no movie nights or even feeding the birds and pelicans either. Many of the buildings that used to house other restaurants and other activities have just been left to become destroyed and it’s such a same. I’m not sure we will return to Raffertys again. We love this place but it needs a fair bit of work unfortunately. ##### Victor Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Devika Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication no wifi but website said wifi, freezer leaking water, furniture very basic, TV very small, ducted air con had a rotten smell when turned on so we left it off and was very cold ##### Devika Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lara Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No Wifi in the rooms despite Expedia entry that promised free Wifi. Manager claimed it was Expedia’s fault and we were left to suck it up. Luckily for us, mobile reception held up so we could watch what we wanted in the evenings. The rest of the resort was as expected. A little isolated but a nice spot on the lake with activities on site and a heated pool - great in the cooler weather! ##### Lara Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Di Apr 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Convenient for weddings or parties on site. Comfortable and convenient with parking right outside. Need a bit of updating and a new mattress. Most convenient location for onsite wedding. Quiet with beautiful gardens and lake views. ##### Di Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sir Stamford at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sir-Stamford-At-Circular-Quay.h26464.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cabins.d11178-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d601906-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels.d178278.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs.h13652.Hotel-Information) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/yyz/charlottetown-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mel/toronto-to-melbourne) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Hamilton.d3963.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [London Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/London.d178279.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Viator](https://www.expedia.ca/Viator.dx6355133)
