Overall it was a great place to stay. The only drawback is the cleanliness of the room. Used/soiled underpants in the bathroom bin (obviously not emptied) was not a good first sign. Also weeds/grass growing in verandah garden overhanging everywhere

We stayed at the Best Western City Sands-Wollongong Golf club I booked the Romance package. On arrival I knew that I had Australian wine ready on the table in a chilled ice bucket and strawberries dipped in chocolate were also waiting, to surprise my husband. We stayed 2 nights for our Anniversary. Our first impression was nice, I noticed on... More

Had a great stay at Bestwesern City Sands end of February 2012. Very clean large rooms with great view of the golf course and the staff was very friendly. The only odd thing we found that most of the good parking spots are reserved for employees.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Very pleasant and comfortable. Gorgeous view from our room of the golf course and water. (room 301) Nice to sit on the balcony having a coffee and watching the avid golfers play golf.

If you like being woken up by really loud motor mowers outside your hotel room at 6.50 am then stay here. Hotel is in a good location overlooking the beach but there was no appreciation or acknowledgment that being woken up this early was a real inconvenience.

We stayed for the fourth time just before new year’s eve 2011, while visiting relatives. Have tried Rydges, but City Sands seems to have a great balance between independence and professionalism, not to mention space, exceptional outlook from the rooms overlooking the water and uncomplicated parking. The City Sands website calls it 'luxury' but I wouldn't go that far, However,... More

Good place to stay in Wollongong. Easy walk to city restaurants, shops and beach. Golf club is in the same building and a great place to eat. wonderful views over the golf course to the beach. We sat on the veranda and watched a couple of whales breaching.

My husband and I had a short week day break at the City Sands - our first visit there. We checked in on Tuesday, 18 October 2011 and reluctantly left Thursday, 20 October 2011. It was a spur of the moment decision to get away so we were both surprised to be right on the golf-course, right near the beach... More
