Top Spectacle Island Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Mantra Ettalong Beach

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel for family break from Sydney. Will come back in the future"

An island style escape - Stunning oak A-frame Waterfront home Access by water

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing place for a getaway with a few families! The house has everything you need, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax together. The kids had the best time fishing off the jetty and didn't want to leave. David was such an amazing host: warm, welcoming and always quick to help. We'd love to come back. Highly recommend!"

Brooklyn Motel

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable room close to transport"

Cosy Cottage Above the Hawkesbury w/ Jetty

8/10 Good

"The location is very nice and overall we enjoyed our stay. There is no actual parking provided, it's just street parking if available. The house had only been given a basic clean, there was an empty can of deodorant under the tv cabinet, some clothing left on the floor behind the curtains in the main bedroom (a sock and some underwear I think, I didn't touch them) and curly hairs on the bathroom wall right in front of your face when you are sitting on the toilet."

Perfect Patonga Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent place to stay in beautiful Patonga. Perfect for three couples (with three loos), but plenty of room for others in your group if needed. Highly recommended."

The Beach House - close to everything!

10/10 Excellent

"A home away from home on the beach. I organized a two night work retreat for team leads and chose to stay at Michelle's, and I could not be happier. The house is not done justice by the photos; it is spacious and filled with light, with a roomy fully-stocked kitchen that made cooking dinner together easy. Uber Eats also delivers from as far as Woy Woy. The beach and bush is so nearby and the sunshine-flooded backyard has lovely outdoor seating options. The three beds were comfy and clean with many different pillows and electric blankets. There was wifi, a TV, and bluetooth speaker. Bathroom is massive and sparkling clean, with heat lights and great extraction fan. The whole house had so many lovely small touches, from the beach decor to the incredibly thorough guide to the important things like a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, etc. There were even some plastic take out containers so we could take our leftovers home instead of tossing them. Michelle's lovely house far exceeded expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a 3 bedroom vacation in a quiet, beautiful bush suburb.My only note for potential travellers is the Palm Beach to Patonga ferry is no longer in operation despite the misleading website still being up (as of review). This is not a reflection on this owner or property at all and not a criticism, but worth noting if you are planning to take the ferry across to visit Sydney's Northern Beaches."

Salt and Stone Modern Pearl Beach Stay 2 Mins to Ocean

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the property, but realised we didn't pay enough attention (it was mentioned in the listing) to the fact that the backyard is not enclosed at all on the side closest to the road (i.e. completely open to the road). So we could not let our dog out into the backyard unsupervised in case he escaped. Otherwise the kitchen was well equipped and there was heating in the living area, which was a bonus."

Absolute Waterfront: Turners River House Hawkesbury River.WOBBY BEACH

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property with lovely owners. Very helpful and friendly."

Beach Front House Outdoor Hot Tub Sauna Stunning Views.

10/10 Excellent

"The house was fabulous. Facilities were clean and well functioning, the kitchen was pristine, beds gorgeous and comfortable. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my husband's birthday. We would love to stay again!"
