Unfortunately we did not have a positive stay at Tiarra Terrigal. The room was not properly cleaned before our visit (eg toast crumbs on shelves, hand prints on TV, dirty microwave, dirty towels in washing machine) and it also had a lot of built-up grime which put us off entirely (eg significant layers of grime on the ceiling fans, dust/hair etc in the middle of chairs). The owner was responsive to our early complaints around this and apologised. They offered to refund so we could go elsewhere however this was not practical. In the end the owner provided a 20% refund on our stay. Beyond the cleanliness issue: we stayed in unit 6 which is upstairs. The unit is a two bedroom which has a good size kitchen/lounge area. The kitchen is practical with a good size fridge. There is no dishwasher which was fine for our short stay. We really liked the 'lazy boy' chairs, just need a coffee table. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom is very small but practical. It is more like an ensuite. The shower itself was really good. There is access to a shared outdoor space with a big table. There is a room with a common wall near the smaller second bedroom which can impact on sleep. First night was OK but second night next door had a party so sleep was difficult. Don't make our mistake and walk around the hwy into town, there is a shorter back way.
