"The cleaning standard was just a little lower than expected. Cobwebs an dust filter under the lighting promenade above the bed. Restaurant was being renovated so did not get to enjoy what looked like a lovely menu Netflix kept dropping out. Otherwise enjoyed the stay."

Terrigal Sails Serviced Apartments

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."

"We had a lovely weekend away at the Boronia beach house. It was the perfect layout and space for our group.The views are lovely. Jess and Amp made the check in and out process easy and were available to answer my questions. The stove top was not very effective (did not get very hot), it would be great if a few more tea bags were provided and some more power boards or extension cords would be great in the bedrooms but otherwise a very well throughout, tidy and clean home."

Luxury Family Beach House Sleeps 18 Best House and Views In Copacabana

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic long weekend in this four‑storey fabulous home celebrating a 50th birthday with our extended family. The lift to all levels made access easy for everyone, and the amazing ocean views plus an easy walk to the beach made the location perfect. The house comfortably slept our group of 18 people, with the bunk beds great for both adults and children. The chef’s kitchen on level 4, complete with a BBQ just outside, made catering for the whole crew easy, and the indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit meant we could cook, relax and whale‑watch together. It was an ideal setting for a large family lunch. The kids were entertained for hours with the pool table, table tennis and the old‑school arcade games (Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and more). The decor is beautiful, and there are plenty of quiet nooks where you can slip away for a moment to yourself. Rob, the owner, comes across as very down‑to‑earth and was responsive and accommodating with any requests, and Nadia (“the hostess with the mostest”) gave us a thorough walkthrough of the property and made sure we knew how everything worked. We would happily return for another special family occasion. We give our ridiculously fabulous Cococabana holiday stay 5 s. So glad we have found this place !!"
