Top Hotels Near Awabakal Nature Reserve in Newcastle from AU$92

"Nobody at the front desk when the sign said there should be. Never got the door code in my messages and didn’t have international calling so I had to wait for someone else to check in with a phone so I could call. "

"Reception staff great. No problems with car parking. Suggest a written compendium for guests who do not have mobile phones or incorporate onto TV network. Breakfast good, coffee great."

"Slight mix up on check in. They had me booked for 2 rooms despite only booking 1 but the staff assured it would be taken care of. Good hotel close to nearby football stadium, pubs and clubs. Had everything I needed for the night."

"Would of been nice to include a free breakfast "

"the staff were very friendly & helpful & the room was up to date & clean. No breakfast through the week, only weekends. Good food at the bistro at the hotel in front of the motel."

"Good motel at a very affordable price. The location was convenient, with Newcastle only a short drive away. Reception stayed open late, which made check‑in easy. The restaurant/club offered a good menu at reasonable prices, and there was plenty of parking. Overall, a comfortable and budget‑friendly stay."

"Block out blinds didn't completely fit windows, so light streamed in at each end. Toothpaste on sink, no shower gel or shampoo in containers. Terrible smell coming from bathroom, the sink was blocked. Did not report at the time due to having to be at the hospital until very late, but reported at check out, was told that a note will be left for housekeeping. We would not stay again"

"The stay got off to a very poor start. The advertisement instructed guests to contact the property to receive a door access code. When I called in the afternoon, the property manager was extremely rude. Even after I explained the reason for my call, I was repeatedly questioned as if I didn’t understand the instructions. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable and appear old and worn, with little care or maintenance. There is also a serious maintenance issue in the upstairs bathroom, with water leaking through the architrave. There is visible mould and rot, with pieces falling onto the floor. To make matters worse, there were cockroaches upstairs as soon as we turned the lights off in the evening. Parking is also a major issue. The driveway is very narrow, barely allowing one car in. The garage is extremely small — larger vehicles like a van or ute would struggle to fit. There is also no reliable street parking, as surrounding apartments take up most of the available space. Overall, I would not recommend staying here. I suggest looking elsewhere."

"Room was tidy and as clean as could be considering it's not a modern motel, Staff very helpful and friendly. Just a 5 minute easy walk to major shopping centre. Loved the balcony at the back of my room overlooking the natural bush. Very quiet location. Aircon worked well and was quiet. Also loved I could open windows for fresh air which many modern rooms don't offer. Overall a very good experience, I will stay again."
