The Select Inn Gosford

10/10 Excellent

"Very quick check in. Room was large and very clean throughout. Facilities all in place and very nice thick towels in the bathroom. Beds were super comfy as were the pillows. The restaurant Blue Lunar is a stand out. Will definitely book there again if ever we need to be in Gosford, NSW. 10 out of 10!!!"

Where the Bush Meets the Beach: Nature’s Perfect Escape

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot near Erina Fair. Really quick and friendly communication with Host."

Modern 2b2b apartmemt. close to water front

8/10 Good

"While we had a pleasant stay, the check in process was anything but smooth (I have raised the issues with the Hosts to improve this). The Unit itself is nice, however, the finer points could improve it (Face washers, proper bath matt, tea towels, extra blankets - not supplied); Window furnishings look strange (ie Not full length). There is a prominent, but intermittent 'pluming noise' which may annoy light sleepers in the Master Bedroom. The location is excellent (adjacent building construction noise was minimal). Although you can park in the alloted parking spot, we found it more practical to park in the visitors spots on the basement level. I lived on the Central Coast for 27yrs, so, I knew where everything is and what to do, but, the Welcome Package is not very enlightening for Guests who are new to the area, I have indicated this to the Hosts as well. The Apartment was excellent value and much better than a typical Hotel/ Motel option. If the Hosts act on the improvements I have raised with them, your stay should be both smooth and pleasant."
