We loved our ocean view room at 1003 nice room very clean and comfy. But I would actually would have preferred a microwave rather than a safe. Also what mini bar nothing there but tea and coffee. Slept the lounge one night the lounge is very hard and the spare blanket is very rough and hot to use. Other than those things lovely stay wasn’t disturbed and staff were helpful.

A leisure trip to Wollongong and decided to enjoy life by the beach at the Novotel. So glad we did! The rooms were big, bed is super comfy and the view is one of the best on the east coast. The reception team on check-in and out and they were all great to deal with. Will definitely stay again.
