Sage Hotel Wollongong
It was an ok hotel with excellent staff. At check in the receptionist was very friendly! But everything else was "meh". Bedding was terrible, walls paper thin. We could hear our neighbours showering, could literally everything being said on the hallway. And please if breakfast is not included don't ...

Lakeside Inn Illawarra
Good spot by the lake, but the huts were old and needing a lot of work. The beds were clean, but the rest of the place wasn’t the greatest.
