Top Lobster Beach Hotel Reviews

Ettalong Beach Studio at Palm Beach ferry stop

10/10 Excellent

"The studio was as indicated and praised by all reviewers. This was our second visit and the best we liked about staying at the studio was that everything was so close by including excellent places to eat, the ferry to Palm Beach and the Burrenjoey House. We did not have to use our vehicle for the 3 days we stayed. Aii in all excellent value for money."

Mantra Ettalong Beach

8/10 Good

"The location next to the beach and food outlets"

Footsteps to the Bay by HolidayCo.

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect for families. Located next to a park and tennis court and opposite a jetty perfect for fishing. The house is great for two families with 2 kitchens and living areas."

Ettalong Beach Tourist Resort

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ettalong Beach Tourist Resort. The resort is beautiful, with a lovely design and atmosphere. Our room was very comfortable and a good size for three people. We especially loved the balcony, which made the room feel very pleasant, and the air conditioning worked very well. One disappointment was the lack of a general lift. The only lift seemed to be for guests with accessibility needs. I completely understand the need for an accessible lift, but having at least one lift for general guests would be helpful, especially for people arriving with luggage. The pool was also extremely cold and basically unusable. We had been warned it was cold, but it was much colder than expected, and several children were visibly shivering. The spa was not working either and was also very cold. Interestingly, the ocean was much warmer that same day. We loved the Galleria downstairs. There is a great variety of restaurants, cafés and interesting shops, and we spent most of a rainy day there without getting bored. However, many shops closed around 2–3 pm. We were also very surprised that on Monday morning absolutely everything in the Galleria was closed, including restaurants, cafés, the bakery, ice cream shop and shops. Reception told us most venues close during weekdays and mainly open on weekends. This wasn’t clear on the website and would be important information for guests, especially families visiting during school holidays. We also really enjoyed the cinema,"

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay here. The property is very spacious and would be particularly well suited to a family or larger group, with plenty of room to spread out. It was also a good property for travelling with dogs.I was working during part of my stay and found it very comfortable for working from home, with desk space to set myself up properly.One thing prospective guests should be aware of is that there is currently construction taking place immediately next door. It was reasonably quiet during my stay, with only a couple of builders working on site, although there was some construction noise at times. As building activity can obviously change, I would suggest asking about the current stage of the works when booking if daytime noise is important to you.Overall, a spacious and comfortable property, particularly suitable for larger groups, people travelling with dogs, or anyone needing space to work while away."
