Terrigal Homestays

So disappointed with the room. There was an old chip or biscuit under my bed. The shower curtain had a long black hair on it. One face towel was stained with foundation. Then to top it off the curtain had several hooks broken that the morning sun was beaming through early morning! And because of Covid there is no buffet breakfast and you can only order off a menu. So the value isn’t there. Wouldn’t recommend paying for breakfast. So stay to say we were very disappointed with our stay!

We stayed here for two nights and loved it. The bed was the best we have slept in. The apartment was large with a lounge and a small deck, the shower was great. Very close to the beach and in walking distance of great restaurants. Microwave and hot plate available to do your own catering and complimentary packet of cereal, milk, juice and water provided. Highly recommend.

Pros: We booked over the phone for a room the same day, and got a slightly discounted rate. We checked in after reception closed but we got our key and found our room easily. We appreciated the lovely complementary chocolate. The main room was clean, modern and fresh looking, and the kitchenette contained all you’d need to make a meal. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. The TV was huge & had plenty of channels. Over all it was fairly good value for an overnight stay. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool area but it looked really inviting. There seemed to be some good options for dining within walking distance, but as we had a car it was easy to drive around town. Cons: the bathroom could use an update. It was fairly clean, but was dated. There were signs of mould in places and somehow there was a small amount of water leaking from somewhere when the shower was used. The shower head was over a bathtub, which we dislike (especially my 6’4’ husband) because it feels pokey. They may have rooms with stand alone showers, so next time I would ask for this. I didn’t see a lift so if you have heavy luggage it might be better to ask for a lower room rather than lug it up flights of stairs. They require guests to empty their rubbish into the large bins downstairs- we didn’t realise this condition as it is listed in their check in paperwork, which we didn’t see or sign till checkout due to our late arrival. The staff said it was fine though which was nice of them.
