1 night family stay. Convenient, comfortable room. Good wifi/TV/beds. Especially impressed with the kitchenette and equipment. Unfortunately my sleep was disturbed by plumbing noises from around 3am. I would stay again, but would ask for another room.

What can I say? This place was very surprising as I was firstly amazed with the location right across the road from Lake Macquarie but the rooms were top notch. The bed was comfortable as was the well stocked amenities in the room. Modern and elegant was the motif of the stay in this room. A pleasant surprise was the dining options for the location. As I was on my own travelling for business, I could not fully take advantage of the on site Teppanyaki place upstairs but I did fully indulged in the coffee truck located at the front of the property. The coffee was truly superb with the best service around. Did I say the coffee was great. Overall, this is a great place to stay and I cant wait to come back to this hidden gem in Warners Bay. The only issue was being woken up in the morning by the construction team very early, but this is in no way the fault of the hotel and staff
