Maclin Lodge Motel

8/10 Good

"Excellent motel and staff. However the attached Chinese restaurant was by far the worst Chinese food we have ever experienced (aged in our 70s so been in a few). The wine was cask wine and obviously off, though the host who spoke little English thought it was fine, though the price was similar to a glass of good bottle fresh wine. The food was terrible. My wife ordered satay chicken. The plate came out as a pile of green beans with 4 pieces of chicken and a sloppy sauce that did not resemble satay by any standard. Though once again the price was steep. Amazed they have not been closed down."

Sage Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"We regularly stay here. The only thing I would ask and this is for all motels that they let you know if the bed is firm or soft. I know it’s a big ask but it’s really disappointing when you’re so tired and get into bed and it’s so hard you can’t rest. First world problem I know but it’s the only fault I can find."

Thirroul Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"It was like stepping back in time when we walked into our room at this motel - old fashioned and very much 1960's style. (The bathroom floor tiling took me back to the days when I used to live with my grandmother who had a bathroom floor of the same design!) However, these remarks are not meant as unkind criticisms. This motel was well located near our party venue and there was parking right outside our room. The spacious room was spotless and had all the toiletry and tea/coffee making supplies which we have come to expect in Australian motels. The bed was really comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. All in all this motel suited us admirably and I would recommend it. Travelers should note that there is no reception as it is a 'self check-in' motel, which means you need to get room number and key code before you can get into the room. However, this is a straight forward process. My only negative criticism is that it was a bit overpriced, especially as we stayed in the depth of winter."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Clifton?

The best time to go to Clifton is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when the weather is pleasantly mild and the region is less crowded.

Autumn offers warm, sunny days great for exploring the natural beauty of the Illawarra Escarpment and the nearby coastline. The average daytime temperature hovers around 20-25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking along the Sea Cliff Bridge Walk or visiting the local beaches. You'll find fewer tourists than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

Spring is another excellent choice, with temperatures ranging from 18-23°C. The landscape comes alive with blooming wildflowers, particularly in the national parks surrounding Clifton. It's a great time for birdwatching and enjoying scenic drives along the Grand Pacific Drive without the intense heat of summer or the cooler temperatures of winter.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Clifton hotel for you.
