Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Not enough security cameras, not enough control, the quality of people were very disrespectful, they were ding dong ditching all hours of the night, people were very noisy didnt do anything about it. False publicity interms of the entertainment areas, the pool table was a joke, all cue sticks had no tips the pool table was MDF and not stone. The swimming pool water was dirty and nobody did anything about it, my son got a rash after swimming in the pool water, our room television didnt work, my refridgerator was leaking and had terrible temperature control. In conclusion I would never recomend to anybody about staying the night a Seaside garden retreat Wamberal.

Very outdated. Curtains randomly hanging on whatever hooks are not broken. Dogs barking all night from people walking up and down all night. Pillows were so thin they could barely be called pillows. Cockroaches in the room.

Just basic... I won't go there again
Just basic... I know it was cheap, but extremely basic. All very old and out dated. Bad beds and pillows, no kitchenette only a toaster and kettle on one "cupboard", a fridge over there. No lounge and a tiny table. Old bathroom with a shower curtain that was not closing due to a screw in the track. No flyscreens in the window & only letting flys in, so we just kept the aircon on most of the time (a shame as I love the coastal air and it wasn not too hot) The room was huge and totally waste of space Other guests were loud till 10pm and no one fro the hotel told them to quite down

Definitely a good location and handy for people travelling with pets. However it’s an old hotel in dire need of maintenance and updating, not a place you’d stay for longer than two nights. We did enjoy the pool on a hot weekend!

The property is looking very tired and dated and needs renovating. However, our stay there was pleasant. The room was large,clean and very comfortable and the staff are good.The grounds around the motel buildings are very nice and spacious and include large grassed areas and a tennis court.

overall the place is lovely - very light and airy and clean. the one thing that let us down was the scum around the taps in bathroom sink and the scum around the sink - the rest was clean however didn't finish the job. As a result I ended up cleaning it myself with tissue and a spoon the clean the edges. Was so simple to clean and if I had cleaning fluid would have taken seconds - lazy cleaning. Didn't end up staying the night and left early

I loved having a yard for my dog, very convenient and the reason I chose this property. The pool was well maintained and I enjoyed having it. Unfortunately the property has been allowed to slowly fall into disrepair. It would have been awesome in its heyday, there were now overgrown veggie gardens, coy pond still has fish but was lacking water and needed a good clean. The aircon in my room dripped water inside directly above one of the few power points. No coffee machine or available breakfast that was advertised and very minimal teabags etc. I assume the dog friendly rooms are probably the least maintained as the place was quite full. I did enjoy my stay despite this.

It was ok.
Hotel a little tired, moldy curtain in the room, no fly screen on the sliding door to the balcony. Old musty smell in the room. However, the stay was pleasant enough the spa bath was ok, worked and was clean.
