Little National Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, definitely staying there again"

Crown on Darby

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an excellent location to walk to the beach, parks, galleries, shops. Plenty to see in every direction you go. Loved the spa bath, to run the water from the tap wasn’t working, so we needed to use the shower head to fill the bath. That took a little longer, but we still enjoyed the relaxing spa bath. The bed, kitchenette , balcony, large tv was excellent. We will come again. Regards Eva"

Ocean Front at The Entrance

10/10 Excellent

"Simple facilities with all needed, located right in front of the ocean. Extensive walk paths near the water. Quiet for a couple's gateway. We stayed in a room with the spa tub in the balcony and it's absolute heaven. The view from the bedroom is breathtaking. Will surely come back. Coffe shops and restaurants not too far. Recommend booking reservation in the restaurant under the Motel prior to arrive there, it's very busy."

The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic. One of our favourite places to stay. The major issue though is the lack room we booked was an interior room with no widow. This is very clearly stated on the actual beachcomber website but it's nowhere on the hotels.com page. The hotel were super helpful but it was very frustrating. Completely the fault of hotels.com"
