Oaks The Entrance Waterfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay - easy walk to pubs and restaurants. plus lovely views over The Entrance and all the pelicans!"

Ocean Front at The Entrance

10/10 Excellent

"Simple facilities with all needed, located right in front of the ocean. Extensive walk paths near the water. Quiet for a couple's gateway. We stayed in a room with the spa tub in the balcony and it's absolute heaven. The view from the bedroom is breathtaking. Will surely come back. Coffe shops and restaurants not too far. Recommend booking reservation in the restaurant under the Motel prior to arrive there, it's very busy."

The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic. One of our favourite places to stay. The major issue though is the lack room we booked was an interior room with no widow. This is very clearly stated on the actual beachcomber website but it's nowhere on the hotels.com page. The hotel were super helpful but it was very frustrating. Completely the fault of hotels.com"

Big4 Sydney Lakeside Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"clean and comfortable cabin with a nice view of the lagoon had everything we needed we were there for three nights to attend our daughters wedding that was nearby so didn't spend much time in the cabin between weddings / lunches / dinners etc etc But it was a nice convenient base for our visit to the Northern Beaches from the Shire"

Nightelier Narrabeen

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were huge. We stayed in an ocean view room with our two 6ft teenage boys and had plenty of room. Queen beds were super comfy and the bathroom was spacious with plenty of storage for the 4 of us. A generous sized fridge to keep plenty of snacks for our teenagers. Great size balcony overlooking the ocean and a tavern directly below with lots on the menu to choose from and reasonable prices. Fabulous location!"
