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."

"The Hotel is Beautifully restored. I especially loved the old lift !! The staff where amazing and the food was yum yum yum !!! The room was perfect at a great price. Just some small things - the Big TV (which was great - most places have ridiculously small tvs) was up next to the roof and in a small single room its just pointing to the other side of the roof instead of tilting down. And there where 2 small brown cockroachs that I killed. Otherwise an amazing stay that I will tell others about and will stay again."
