"Our stay here was delightful. The Beachcomber is beautifully situated on Tuggerah Lake, and the perfect position to watch the setting sun across the Lake. Delicious food in the Bistro & at Pelicans for breakfast the next morning. We loved the views of the Lake from the Bistro balcony. We stayed in a room without a view however it was still really comfortable. We hope to return soon!"
