Top Fern Bay Hotel Reviews

ibis Newcastle

6/10 Okay

"This Ibis hotel is alot more old / worn out compared to the other Ibis hotels I have stayed at. The hallways and room Carpets and walls has been better day. The room is clean. Has everything you need. For 1 night stay it is ok. Main Street is not a nice but surrounding areas is ok and easy to get around."

Holiday Inn Express Newcastle by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our second stay here, the room was equally well presented as the last time. Breakfast this stay was better than our last, this time more choices for those who don't like a plate full of greasy bacon. The hotel's location is close to resteraunts and cafés, with the awesome Honeysuckle bay just across the road, where you will find resteraunts, cafés, entertainment, and a walk that will take you all the way along the foreshore to Newcastle's Nobbys Lighthouse and the breakwater."

Anchorage Port Stephens

10/10 Excellent

"We went away for a night from Sydney and had been to the anchorage previously however it was a long time ago so we were blown away by the changes to the property, the interior design in the bar was lovely and appropriate for the location and star level of the hotel. A couple of observations that we could make would be that the bed was a queen and was with two mattresses, one mattress appeared to have lost some of its springs so needed replacing, the service in the bar was a bit slow and seemed to not be able to cope with the demands of happy hour and a long weekend. In addition to the above we did the wellness room for two people. The infra-red sauna was not warm enough and the steam room appeared to have a problem with the thermostat as when you were seated it was not warm enough either. A cold plunge pool would be a welcome addition. This is not faults with the hotel more just these tweaks would have made it an exceptional stay, We are well travelled overseas so have seen quite a lot to compare with and in Italy some exceptional wellness retreats."
