On arriving I was provided a room on the 7th floor on the southern side. Room was good, nice office area, however it was quite noisy...and the window had dislocated from the frame so there was a noticeable gap...which is why I could hear traffic as if I was outside. I complained and was provided another room, this time on the 10th floor..1027....I have never slept in a more noisy room....I literally had to sleep with earpods till about 11pm...and then take them out...still noise but went to sleep with earplugs....the traffic, wind, ocean all provided a constant barrage of noise...I will never EVER stay here and would not recommend this hotel to anyone...maybe I had a bad room??? but even so...final comments...if you want a quiet nights sleep, maybe stay somewhere else.

Perfect Family Beachside Stay with Toddler-Friendl

We recently enjoyed a 3-night family stay at Novotel Wollongong Northbeach with our 2-year-old and found it to be an excellent choice for families. The hotel’s location is superb, right across from North Wollongong beach, offering stunning ocean views from our room balcony which was very relaxing. The rooms are spacious, clean, and nicely decorated with family-friendly amenities. The hotel features a heated outdoor pool, perfect for little ones to splash around safely, and a welcoming outdoor dining area where kids’ meals are wholesome and generously served. Staff were very helpful and accommodating, especially with family needs, and the buffet breakfast had a great variety that suited both adults and children. Overall, the Novotel Wollongong Northbeach offers a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable stay for families with young children, making it a top pick for a beachside family getaway

Great position with great staff.

Great position, 3 minute walk to beach and restaurants. Reception staff so helpful especially Trish. Room was great. Breakfast was included in our deal and of good quality. Only criticism the corridors look tired and could do with an overhaul.
