Stayed one night for a function in Wollongong. Reception is inside the bottle shop which is “very Wollongong” (I grew up there so I can say that! ) and was staffed by a friendly young man who did an excellent job. The room was very clean, quiet, private and surprisingly modern. It more than met our needs as somewhere to sleep (rather than somewhere you would want to spend hours in) so I would definitely recommend to others. It is adjacent to the large hotel and food facilities which is handy. Only suggestion for improvement: get rid of International Roast as the supplied coffee - yuck !
At the time of check in and check out, both Receptionists went out of their way to assist us with information about the apartments. They also offered recommendations to local restaurants for dinner and breakfast, and both young ladies did so with a smiling face and a happy demeanour.
Shellharbour Village Motel is central to everything in Shellharbour. Most places are within walking distance. Sheltered away from high traffic areas, so very quiet. The room was mind-blowing spacious, the bed super comfortable, plenty of storage, luggage stand, Couch and small dining table. There was a microwave also tea and coffee-making facilities. The bathroom is so spacious. You need to step into a bath for the shower (for us was no problem). The owners are very friendly, happy to accommodate where they can and very good knowledge of the Shellharbour area. There is a Thai restaurant within the Motel. We look forward to our next stay.
