I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with stunning views from my room and a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The location is just perfect, being only a short walk from restaurants and cafes. While the noise from nearby construction during the day was a bit bothersome, the overall comfort and cleanliness of the hotel made up for it. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with great amenities, this place is worth considering.

Our stay was mixed; while some aspects were decent, there were notable shortcomings. The room we had was modern and reasonably comfortable, but noise from the plumbing and nearby areas was a significant drawback. On the upside, the staff was pleasant, and the location was convenient for exploring the town. However, the lack of a microwave and limited facilities made it less appealing overall.

I had a great last-minute getaway! The hotel offered an excellent rate for two rooms and surprised us with a lovely king room upgrade featuring beautiful water views. Both Sean and Fiona were incredibly accommodating, ensuring all our questions were promptly addressed. Everything was clean and well-appointed, providing excellent value for a quick trip. The only downside was the noise from the stairs next to our room, which sometimes interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.

I had a wonderful stay at Park Ridge Retreat in Gerringong. The hotel has a fantastic ambiance and is spotlessly clean, which made my visit incredibly relaxing. The staff were extremely accommodating, and the manager Brian was particularly likable and efficient. However, I did find the parking a bit tight for my SUV. Overall, it's a great value for the money and I will definitely return!
