Rydges Resort Hunter Valley
Family friendly, breakfast service one of the best I've been to, well managed for peak period, worth a try. Option of a dayspa and gym is great, poolside QR code ordering from the menu. A great place to stay with young kids - school holiday program with abundance of activities.

QT Newcastle
Hotel was very quirky and staff were brilliant. The downside was that gym is not actually in hotel but you use one down the street. Also they charge for parking which becomes expensive for longer term stays. Rooftop bar had excellent views over the waterfront.

NOAH'S On The Beach
Parking was the only issue, had to pay while waiting for an available spot.
