Wollongong Surf Leisure Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, close to beach, nice amenities, close to town. Minor maintenance issues the clothes rack broken and the sofa could not be extended as it was stuck.

"It was a good stay. The two guys at reception were really helpful. Only negative thing was that our room wasn’t ready until 3:30pm even though check-in was at 2pm. That was disappointing but we were given a $30 voucher for the inconvenience which was appreciated."

"Easy & Efficient arrival, Staff at reception were very nice . Had family also staying, it's a bit of a hassle that you can only go to your floor via lift, means family had to come down and meet in foyer before going back to their rooms, maybevan overkill in security, saw many people having to do this. Room was lovely and clean, a bit dated , we"
