Modest accomodation in a good location. Car park (additional cost!) DOES NOT accommodate tall vehicles. Our unmodified 4WD was too tall and street parking was full of beachgoers. Shower is crammed into corner of cubicle. Wall of bedroom had visible cracks. ‘Complimentary’ breakfast was pleasing and staff were openly pleasant.

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.

My family and I enjoyed a three-night stay at the Novotel Wollongong for a relaxing weekend away. The hotel's location was great, easy walking distance of the beach and local eateries. Our room was excellent, clean, and comfortable! The small courtyard (perfect for our curious toddler) with an ocean view was a surprise. We even got a daily bird visits! A minor thing, a smart TV would've been a perfect addition though. We loved the swimming pool with a bar serving drinks and light snacks – the perfect place to chill for a whole day. It also had sauna. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of options. The parking was $35 per day and they charge extra for credit card fees. But overall, the staff was good, and my family and I had a wonderful experience.
