Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
Breeze was cool most days so opening the balcony doors was sufficient to cool the room. Great views. Breakfast is excellent. Dinner meal we had at the hotel was average, but there are several restaurants close by. Lots of families with young children, but our room was quiet.

Mantra Wollongong
They don’t move the blinds to clean so there was dead bugs by the windows and under the bed was very dirty. Needs a Reno and a good clean! Spacious though and good if you have a dog.
