Terrigal Sails Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good
"The apartment was clean, spacious and in a quiet location. Everything provided worked well.. We did have some trouble with the plastic white tag which activates power in the room but managed to get it into position which then allowed all power switches to work. We liked the small extras that came with the rental which included a light cereal breakfast and basic housekeeping. The location was the main drawcard. Located just adjacent to the Crowne Plaza Terrigal, it was just a few minutes walk to all the restaurants, cafes and shops along Terrigal Esplanade, and a quick stroll to the beach and the Terrigal Boardwalk. It was a great retreat for us, so close to all the amenities and parks. Choose the right time of the year to go and you will be in for a treat."

"We had an excellent stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located - just a short walk to the beach, cafés, and everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were easy and hassle-free, making the whole experience very enjoyable. The reason I gave 4 stars overall is because I wish the garden was fenced or separated for each room. It would have been great to let our dogs roam around safely or spend some time relaxing in the garden with them. I also understand that people like to stay up late or make some noise, but the doors between the rooms are very loud when they open and close. Every time another guest used their door, it made a loud bang that our dogs reacted to immediately, causing them to bark. The noise was much more noticeable than expected. Other than those two points, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely consider coming back. Thank you to the owner."
