Top The Lake Macquarie Variety Playground Hotel Reviews

Tantarra Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was neat and really well put together. I’d totally recommend it! The pool was ready for a swim, though we didn’t quite have enough time to enjoy everything the place had to offer."

Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Very nice, well maintained. Improvements needed on the breakfast supplied. The hot food left alot to be desired but easily fixed Scrambled egg, had a green tinge because the eggs had been in the warmer to long. This is rectified by replacing the eggs every hour. I observed the kitchen staff pouring new hot food on top of the old product. This would be more professional if the complete dish was removed from the warmer and replaced with the new dish containing the new product."

The Esplanade Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a pleasant stay at the motel for 3 nights, staff was helpful, room was nice and clean, will be good if there is a door on the shower, so the water doesn’t run out"

Gateshead Tavern Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot to stay. Nice pub attached also."

Macquarie 4 Star

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean room. Perfect location with onsite bistro."

The Brighton Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable bed, centrally located, very quiet, bathroom could use an update."

Holmesville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Despite a band playing I was able to get an early night's sleep. The room was a classic old hotel room,high ceilings,excellent space ,only a bed and bedside table. Locks were modern and secure. No lifts but a lovely old lace railed verderah. On-site parking which freed up once attendees at an afternoon function left. Easy to find by GPS and likewise to access off freeway. Bistro prices not cheap but children's werves reasonable and sufficient. Communal bathrooms adequate but require more frequent cleaning and a waste paper bin as people continually placed paper hand towels down toilet clogging it temporarily."

Ibis Budget Newcastle

"The staff were excellent. Budget accommodation, 5 star staff."

Pippi's At The Point

8/10 Good

"Downstairs restaurant has great food and friendly service"
