Flinders Motel
3.5/563 Reviews
2nd visit, 2night stay at this property. Found the room good for a short stay, very centeralised to everything in the area. It Did the job. Easy to get to. First morning had housekeeping knock on door to clean up room while we were getting ready for the day. Dont know if they didnt know we were staying 2 nights instead of the 1. We were lucky we had chain on door. On site thai restuant was good. Didnt have to go far for dinner. However it did change hands / name change since last visit. Down side is that the Room this time didnt have a dvd player in it. Purchased cheap 1 from jb hifi. The room doesnt have a microwave either to heat up left over food if needed to. Lastly, beds can be more comfy. Single bed in twin room was bit hard to sleep on due to the steel frame it was on, and a bit too high as well. Was more comfy on the double bed with the friend i was with to watch tv. (He didnt mind) Also, price had gone up a little as well since last visit.
Coniston Hotel Wollongong
4.3/582 Reviews
The Coniston Hotel had a large, well appointed room with good amenities. The bed was very comfortable and there was a large screen tv. There is a large, free car park. The hotel’s bistro is very good. There is a good selection of well priced wines. The food is of a very high standard and the menu offers something for most tastes. The Spanish Garlic Prawns were a real delight and the Marinated Lamb Rump, served on a mushroom risotto, was also an excellent dish.
Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

Good location with outstanding seaview. Pity that the gym equipment is very basic
Five Islands Hotel
3.3/556 Reviews
Good for a budget and short stay. Stayed here as a friend went to a show in Wollongong. Surprisingly the bed was actually comfy, and the room was tidy. However the room was a bit too hot as it was facing the afternoon sun, and didn't have air con, but room did have fan. Other down side there was no mini fridge to keep drinks cold, and only access to a double power point. Room access is via stairs and has no lift access. Bath in shared bathroom needs bit of an update but shower was ok. Limited parking on site as well, but there is street parking near by.
Headlands Austinmer Beach
4.4/593 Reviews
Check in staffs are not friendly. Actually they never have been. Have been going to this place for the last two years only because of the location and we have always noticed the unfriendliness of the staffs. They not helpful either. The bistro food and drinks are over priced and food isn’t nice either. We booked deluxe studio room which according to my booking the room has wardrobe/closet and bottled water and our room didn’t have any of that. It was a very basic room. Don’t trust the pics on website as it’s misleading. However, thumbs up for the location and peaceful environment. Staffs and management needs to listen to the reviews and change their attitude of running the hospitality business.
Boat Harbour Motel
3.9/598 Reviews
When booking was told only one room left King Ocean view at $275 !!!! a night Advertising says stunning Ocean views True if u can see the ocean thru the massive trees right in front of the Balcony Certainly not clear Ocean view and as time goes on the view will be more restricted Don’t know who owns the land the motel or council If council then the motel should be asking for some pruning or indeed get rid of them If the motel own the land then change the advertising because it is not stunning views if u have to Bob down or up to see the wonderful view The Motel is old old old The room does not provide plates etc only some useless wooden knife fork The reason I was told Everything removed due to covid and now there is a rest But only open for dinner Wed to Sat so ??? Not even a tea towel in the room The fridge was one of those absolute mini jobs about 40cm x 40 cm very very small and fits virtually nothing Kitchenette very small. . Balcony extremely narrow two people can’t pass and u can sit but can’t stretch out Some carpet stains to The air con one of those old big in the floor Jobs very noisey but have to say it did cool well if u can stand the noise The pluses yes u can walk to the water The room was clean linen bed no problems all very good. Overall found it very old very expensive and the in room facilities such as plates steel cutlery etc should be a given Luke so many Motels around Aust now this one needs some updating
