Only ok. Nothing bad, just everything not great. Poor wifi, hard bed, mediocre shower, thin walks so noisy. Annoyance at check-in asking for a physical CC which no one carries any longer. Positives are good location walk to beach and restaurants/club. For the price I’ll be looking elsewhere.

One Night Stay at the Bay

Just a one night stay, accommodation very comfortable and convenient to Wests Club and Little Beach. The club has very good meals at reasonable prices and is a very short walk away.

Our room had two doors for entry and exit. One of them didnt have the resistance as the other for our 3yr old and she kept opening and escaping. Bought it up with the front desk and there was nothing they could do to assist with the problem. Also wifi was not good, couldn't sign into any streaming networks, fridge had broken shelfs. Had no bbqs to cook with as you can't cook inside your room.Staff was nice, room was clean and decent. Beds were comfortable. Location was good.

Comfortable and quiet stay in Shoal Bay

We had 3 nights here as as base for the Tomaree Cpastal Walk. Very comfortable, quiet and spacious. It's looking a bit old but it was clean and had a small kitchenette with sufficient equipment for our stay. A few minutes drive to Shoal Bay itself. Had some cheeky feathered visitors in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.
