Book Independent Lake Illawarra accommodation from NZ$109

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.

Wonderful staff. Super clean. Close to shops.

Good place close to trains

Lovely, Clean Friendly Place.

I loved the size and space of the room, it is a bit dated but it had all the amenities and more, such as a bath and a microwave. The room was clean, had good air conditioning and great water pressure in the shower. Would be happy to visit again.

The lady at the bar who gave us our keys, etc was very helpful and very nice. Having the restaurant delivering food which was great was also a bonus. Fantastic stay, thanks
