Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
The staff was great. Hotel is in the perfect locations. There were kids Christmas activities which was amazing. The downside is the parking. Too narrow and too low in height. The car was scratched even while opening the boot which managed to hit the low roof.

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.
