"Despite a band playing I was able to get an early night's sleep. The room was a classic old hotel room,high ceilings,excellent space ,only a bed and bedside table. Locks were modern and secure. No lifts but a lovely old lace railed verderah. On-site parking which freed up once attendees at an afternoon function left. Easy to find by GPS and likewise to access off freeway. Bistro prices not cheap but children's werves reasonable and sufficient. Communal bathrooms adequate but require more...

Top Carey Bay Hotel Reviews

QT Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our first time stay & were very impressed with the service & in particular the wonderful staff."

The Grand Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Fine place to stay, the rooms were a bit small / cramped e.g. found myself having to maximise use of available space to iron a shirt, but overall it was comfortable and staff were helpful. We did have an issue which the staff sorted out excellently and quickly so definitely good service. Would stay again for a place to sleep, less so to spread out. But that also may have been that we got a smaller room."

The Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The same thing I dont like everytime at this hotel is also the only thing I ever have to complain about @ The Gateway Inn... & thats when I have to leave. (Sad Face) I just love this place, the staff are so wonderful & are always happy to go the extra mile yet so modestly & kindly make you feel like nothing is a bother or too much to accomodate in their efforts to show that you're valued as a customer & feel welcomed like a family friend. The vibe is like a big safe warm hug. The rooms provided are generous in space, ameneties are varied & top notch & the customer service extended is of international standards. And No I wasn't promised anything to say all these great things about the Gateway, but Ive tried the rest & dont even have to guess you'll be impressed- by the Best Hotel in town!!"
