Hit the centre, however, and you’ll find plenty of action. Dine at restaurants that serve up a variety of cuisines and bars that pour local drops. Meet local artists who draw upon their spectacular surroundings for inspiration. The Illawarra mountain range peers over the coast and wild surf beaches scored with pretty rock pools.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,007 reviews)
Cannot fault the staff nor the cleanliness. However at every turn there is an extra charge on top of the room fee...parking, tea, fresh towels, a lemon slice. And buffet breakfast was not worth $42 per person. Absolute wrought by management and the Accor group.

The room was quite basic, I wouldn't say it looks exactly like the photos, a bit old and dated. A few lights in the room didn't work but overall it was comfy and spacious.
