20. The Perfect Spacious 2BR Getaway-Netflix

Greenhithe

"The accommodation is great, really spacious and modern. WIFI is a bit sketchy, and seems to be shared with owners upstairs, along with the hot water, which honestly can take ages to come through and can take time to re heat itself. Duvet in main bedroom leaves a bit to desire with stains all over it, was just thrown on the floor as luckily was hot enough not to need it. But a really nice spacious apartment."

Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Quality Hotel Lincoln Green

8/10 Good

"The receptionist was very helpful, kind, approachable, and polite. I had booked two rooms but unfortunately had to cancel one less than 16 hours before check-in. The staff kindly discussed the situation with the manager and were able to accommodate the cancellation. I really appreciated their understanding and flexibility regarding the unforeseen circumstances. Excellent customer service and a very welcoming team. Thank you for your kindness and understanding!"

Ramada Suites By Wyndham Albany

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, super clean room, and great staff."

Woodhouse Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place for a romantic winter getaway. Stunning grounds, great room with lovely views, the lodge was cozy and the food was great - the breakfast in particular was amazing. Dinner was expensive but it didn’t disappoint and convenient onsite. No TV in the room but no need with the cozy fireplace. Bed was comfortable with nice linen. Mini fridge, good tea and coffee making facilities. Spa bath wasn’t working unfortunately but enjoyed the sauna. Would 100% recommend this place for a couple. Would also be a great place for a small conference, executive meeting or retreat."

Quest Albany

10/10 Excellent

"lt was an awesome time spent at Fig Tree Cottage the hostess Sharon was welcoming,and gave full,informative introduction on all aspects of Cottage,the detail of flower arrangements on window cills or by bed was a delight,the blending of cottage and several well documented walks in lnformation brochure with farm walks was especially a joy,we were made at home and experienced from a distance the goings on of a large , well known,high performing farm,Sharon and Neil Waller were a joy ."

Orewa Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Close to the beach, restaurants, Woolworths, and other shops."

Alpaca Manor

10/10 Excellent

"I booked an economy twin room at the Alpaca Manor for a corporate stay. Manor is a short driving distance from important amenities including the Albany bus stop and the Albany Westfield Mall. The room I stayed in had wonderful amenities, including air conditioning/heating (such a treat in the colder weather) and underfloor heating in the bathroom. The room was very spacious, with plenty of beds, wardrobe space, and ample room to move around. The bed was comfortable and warm. Also..WIFI access. An en-suite bathroom is very important to me when I travel. This bathroom was AMAZING, with modern design elements and strong shower water pressure. The room also had a deck, which added a nice touch to the space. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and recommend it to any travellers."
