Top Hat Head Hotel Reviews

Seabreeze Beach Hotel

Seabreeze Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for one night in a balcony room. Having the balcony was nice to sit outside for a drink but the view is just of the street. Whilst this is a hotel (pub), most rooms are in a wing away from the noise of the pub so pretty quiet. Our room - and the wing - was quite spacious (queen & single), has been nicely renovated and was very comfortable. It had tea & coffee making and a small fridge with freezer."

"My husband and I love Crescent Head and the location of the caravan park and have stayed there many times.I booked a Lakeside cabin with queen bed and double bed for two nights but our cabin had adouble bed and triple bunks. We accepted the booking because it was only two nights and we were meeting up with friends but because we are older and I have mobility issues we did not sleep well and the shower had no pressure and barely warm. Time for an upgrade."

"Very basic but comfortable accomodation. Great bathroom and water pressure. Room was a bit dark. Aircon and mini fridge were good and so was parking. My room was missing coffee cups and I was provided one upon request. There was a strange wet stain in the foot of my bed as if someone’s spilt something. Overall good for a brief stay. Conveniently located and close to the shops."
