Top Strickland State Forest Hotel Reviews

Ashwood Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The motel is well situated, the room was very spacious with very little noise. The staff were friendly and amenable. There were good amenities for in house meals. Bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Towels were large and really fluffy. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Parking was right outside the door. We had a very enjoyable stay."

Encore by Mingara

10/10 Excellent

"Free access to the extensive, upscale, massive gym next door was a huge bonus. And the 50m lap pool and kids swim area with a whirlpool. All restaurants and cafes at the adjacent club had fabulous food and entertainment. Everything you need all next to each other but also felt separate as they are different buildings allowing a chance to relax and escape. Rooms, hotel and staff absolutely cannot fault. Other activities like beaches and shopping etc very close by. Thanks Mingara."
