Guest Reviews

Verified traveler (8/5): - First time where destination is right at the corner ,good, across da road some public domestic n drunks so bad my wife went back in the room and lock da door, very bad, staff easy to deal with satisfaction of customer service, good
Verified traveler (8/5): - Pretty basic but when just passing through for the night, it is really all you need. Staff on checkin was very helpful and happy to help us out with local questions!
Verified traveler (10/5): Basic but good - Has everything you need if you're after a quick, short stay. Staff was friendly and service was good. Basic setup. It got the job done for a quick stay. Not a three and a half star in our eyes, I think it should be a cheaper stay.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good clean motel. Good location.
Tiger (4/5): - Based on the photos I thought I was getting a bargain but I wasn't... It is a typical old cheap motel that is poorly maintained and smells of cigarettes. On arrival our room didn't have towels or toilet paper! You get what you pay for I guess.... in retrospec I wish I spent a bit more. Also worth noting, their web site says 3.5 star... which is laughable.... 2.5 at best.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Full of cockroach and spiders, the condition was really bad
Verified traveler (2/5): - Manager very friendly helpful and polite Building is too old and in need of urgent renovation looks and feels back in the 1960´s Very noisy due to traffic, refrigerator too , had to turn it off, Room does not have ventilation and smells like an old closed up warehouse of antiques furniture I had lo check out after one night stay, could not sleep more than 2 hours as I had to open the windows and door to get fresh air but the noise became unbearable. Television must be from the 70´s old and off color Could not use the toaster because it was badly rusted The best part was THE PARKING AND THE FRIENDLY MANAGER. i WILL never GO BACK TO THAT MOTEL
Verified traveler (8/5): - Property has better days, but room was clean & bed comfortable.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Location was ok, good place for a quick over night stay.
Verified traveler (2/5): - Run down motel with unfriendly owners. Found live cockroaches in my room beside bedding. Also 6 months after staying here they charged my credit card $800 for no reason so had to cancel my card and do a chargeback to stop them doing more unauthorized charges. Very dishonest people.
Verified traveler (6/5): Suspicious residents - Had drug involved people seem living permanently next door. Party and verbal abuse very late at night. We stayed 9 nights but room was only made up twice. The very last day had no hot water for shower. It’s such a shame as the location of the motel could not have been better.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Room outside would had been better for my friend who has a walker to get in and out of the room easier. Fridge could had been a normal size Bar Fridge but we did get through with the fridge that was in the room.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Staff were accommodating but property needs a major facelift.
Verified traveler (8/5): Reasonable price,close to lake - A reasonable but small older motel unit. Friendly proprietors, air-con, microwave. Walking distance to the lake. I understand the new owners are in the process of renovating the units.
Verified traveler (6/5): - A bit daggy. Might need to have an upgrade to keep the place paying.
ROBERT (6/5): Cheap overnite - Older motel needs upgrade but price was cheap.Ok for an over nite while travelling..
Jaden (4/5): - Old facilities, well not cleaned room with cheap price
Verified traveler (6/5): - It was fine for the price I paid. Scott is a very friendly host.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Quite worn out motel, but cheap and good for one night stay.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Confusion over the booking, cleanliness of the foyer, information rack was not updated and full of roach dropping’s and the manager was unhelpful forwarding information. But hot water was amazing and lightening for makeup application spectacular. The bed was very comfortable but the room was adjacent to reception and early check outs were disturbing from 4am.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Quaint cottage like rooms with clean facilities. The fire alarm went off for no reason at 2.30am and the refrigerator made strange noises. Other than that, it was great!!
Verified traveler (2/5): - Rooms are terrible, old and dated, beds are uncomfortable, furniture in rooms looks like it was collected from kerbside clean ups. Air conditioner was set to 19 on heat setting, this could not be changed, it was feeezing when I arrived and when I left, it was also very noisy and made strange noises all night. The road noisy is so disrupting. Shower’s are terrible, it’s impossible to make temperature consistent. We had to turn bar fridge off at wall because it sounded like it was going to take off. Old lolly paper toilet tissues was provided, like I was back in the first grade. Small, dodgy, old and dated, defiantly won’t be back, will be seeking reimbursement from Wotif for my stay. I would prefer to stay in a tent then this hotel. Wow
Verified traveler (2/5): - There was nothing to like about the Aquarius motel. It looked like pig's lived there. The stench of alcohol & stale cigarettes nearly made me spew, & that was just at reception. Refused to stay there, & was told I wouldn't be getting any refund back, mind you I had already paid in full online. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
Johnny (10/5): - It was good.
Verified traveler (2/5): - Needs updating Smelt mouldy Bed and pillows uncomfortable Linen was clean
Leslie (8/5): - I was working and have stayed here before. nice people and handy to lake and beach.
Skye (10/5): Great Little Gem - From the moment that you arrive you are greeted by the local friendly hospitality. The room was very comfortable and is clean. There is parking onsite and the shops are not far away. Great place for a stop over!!
Melissa (8/5): - Affordable and grea location
Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel, Owner/manager Micheal was absolutely wonderful.
Verified traveler (2/5): - The room was noisy, dated, smells weird, no wi-fi.
Geoffrey (8/5): - Nice motel, the staff were very friendly location was good for me because i had a car, nice hot shower
Gavin (2/5): - Bed was horrible like sleeping on a bag of springs there as cockroaches in the room and over all it was just not clean the bathroom sink (the only sink) was filthy and no free wifi...
Lynette (6/5): okay - Owner was very pleasant. Room was small and old but clean. Bed was uncomfortable. I thought room service meant I could order breakfast but this was not available.
John (8/5): - Great stay with a fair price. Stayed in the family room, practical for the two young children. Would stay again.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Stay was only 1 night butwas pleasant and the staff are very accommodating & friendly
Verified traveler (4/5): - Noisy.Shabby decore,,Receptionist on social media as she checked us in. Would not recommend. Not value for money compared with other accommodation in the vicinity.
Graeme (8/5): Convenient for my purpose - Pleasant staff welcome, noisy aircon in 10. Good parking with quit aspect.
Pam (6/5): Happy guest - After travelling for 6 hours I was very pleased to have a comfortable and clean room and great bed. Room gave me everything I needed. Hot water great.
sheila (10/5): Functional and friendly motel accommodation - Great short stay for the State Nippers Carnival. Family room was clean and functional. Michael the manager/owner was helpful and friendly. Was perfect for what we were looking for.
J M (4/5): Convenient, but ... - We were catching up with family who were also visiting the area (but stayed elsewhere). The hosts are fine and pleasant. The motel, though, is tired.
Steve (6/5): OK price Ok stay - Average room, musty smell and I dropped something behind bed, moved bed and not too clean, dust and cockroach, alongside a trap. Check and clean it guys!
Verified traveler (4/5): - Michael was great Great location Great value for money Close to highway
Fisho (6/5): Position Good, - Very basic. A tired establishment badly in need of updating or refurbishing. Room was missing some basic amenities, but the bed was comfortable and clean.
G (8/5): - Bang for your buck, though our room smelled really strongly of chlorine when checked in and lingered for a whole day. Otherwise - money well spent
Adam (8/5): Very Enjoyable - Staff where wonderful very pleasant stay. Close to all functions we attended on our stay and comfortable beds.
ant (8/5): - Cheap and quiet. Close to water,friendly staff.you're getting exactly what you pay for.probably needs a paint outside,but otherwise,an awesome stay
Verified traveler (6/5): bed very hard,fans dirty. - The double front doors need to be closed at night for security and noise.
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel close to water - Nice stay in quite an old hotel. Could do with a brush up however very clean and tidy
Renee (6/5): Surprise package with all the basics - We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and cute the room was. The bed was nice and firm and the traffic noise was well blocked by the blinds and curtains. They've packed a lot of practicality into the small, retro space. Very convenient location for a Caves Beach wedding we were attending.
Verified traveler (8/5): Close to the venue which we were staying - Older motel that had all the comforts needed for the stay. Priced very well.
bella (4/5): Clean but Old and Rundown - This hotel has ticked its boxes with TV aircon private bathroom hairdryer etc but they don't tell you the room is really old, (as is the aircon) cheap and not great to spend time in. Not worth the $100 we paid - needs to be less expensive definitely. Reminded me of camp when I was a kid...and that's a long time ago!
Verified traveler (8/5): quick getaway to Caves Beach - great choice if you are looking for a budgeted stay
Liz (4/5): Very very basic! - Accommodation was very basic, noisy and smells of damp. In desperate need of modernisation. Booked as bed and breakfast, there was no breakfast offered.
Verified traveler (10/5): Good motel - Place was clean, room had everything you Could need. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
PH (6/5): Perfect for a one night stay while travelling - We needed a hotel room for the night and this was perfect. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was adequate and the hotel staff were friendly. I wouldn't stay long periods of time in this room but for a one night, excally what we needed. Would recommend to a friend in the same scenario.
Tony (10/5): very nice and comfortable to stay - the lady that checked us in was very helpful (first timers) will be back to stay longer.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice motel, good service. Close to the attractions in the area. Conviniently located on the main road.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Wouldn't change anything definitely be back Staff are very polite
Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice manger help full - Very satisfied clean
Verified traveler (8/5): overnight - Just passing through on a long journey. Motel was clean and staff were very helpful with check in and drinks etc for the kids.
heather (4/5): Cheap hotel - Look nothing wrong with this hotel, I would just like something a bit fancier. But that's me. I got what I paid for. Staff were lovely and friendly, something you don't always get in bigger hotels. If you want to save money then stay there.
Verified traveler (8/5): very short stay - Checked in late and left by 8am, room was basic but clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Christine (10/5): Highly recommend. Clean rooms, great location - Highly recommend. Very comfortable bed, quiet aircon/heating system, very clean. Breakfast was great too. Great little spot for a few days. Main thing for me was the helpful, friendly owners they really made us feel so welcome so thank you. We will definitely return again.
Verified traveler (8/5): Short overnight Stay - was good for short stay to go to local Club, then breakfast the next morning, the surroundings was great in the local area, All In all it was all enjoyable, Motel was fine clean, and great location
Helen (8/5): good clean, value for money motel - The room had all necessary inclusions for a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Verified traveler (4/5): False advertising - $100.00 for this hotel, I think not. The room was nothing like displayed on their website. Three and a half stars, never, would only rate it with two. Third rate bathroom and very few nice things to say, No thought has been put into the room and making it welcoming. Never again.
Verified traveler (6/5): Convenient location - Easy access and off street parking, located on the main road and just a few blocks from shipping center. A little dated but, comfortable.
Verified traveler (2/5): Okay if you only want a bed for one night. - I guess the accomodation is okay if you only want a bed for the night. I will not recommend it for anything more than one night. The cupboard where the cups, glasses, saucers, spoons, tea & coffee were kept has a musty old smell. The lady receptionist was not very friendly, no welcoming smile. The curtain & blinds were dusty. One good thing about the place though is that it has tiny microwave in every room. I reckon all motels/hotels should have a tiny microwave in their rooms as standard.
Verified traveler (10/5): Very Comfortable - Excellent service, will have to take another trip up to visit :) as they say on a post come as a stranger leave as a friend :) Best service i have ever had at a hotel :)
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place friendly staff. Let me book in early to - Friendly staff. Nice room. Only complaint shower wasn't too good but everything else was very good. Comfy bed. Close parking. Overall nice place
John (4/5): Misleading description and rating - We did not stay. Looked at the room, did not feel safe, realised that the proximity to the highway would lead to no sleep, saw it was not comfortable, and left. Wasted our money - no refund.
Verified traveler (6/5): Nice enough - Disappointment was a dog out the back near my bathroom barking while I was trying to get to sleep and periodically throughout the nite. Most rooms wont have this problem, but those near reception do.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Enjoyed stay, treated well
Les (10/5): Nice motel - close to beach,close to shopping centre,close to everything we needed
Elke (8/5): Will come again - A little Motel with a clean Pool and also clean rooms with coffeemaker, Micro and Refrig.
Monique (6/5): Too far from the beach. - My wife and I only spent a night there so it is a little unfair to make a real assessment of the place. Next time I will try to stay longer, then I may be able to give you a better idea of my experience.
Verified traveler (6/5): Good location - On route to Sydney a nice spot by Lake Macquarie just One and half hours out of the city. The lake and Marina are well worth the stop. Motel was adequate and we had a friendly welcome.
Scott (6/5): Nice motel - Good, clean hotel in nice location. Reasonably priced for a family room.
Verified traveler (8/5): Handy to a function we were attending - Great value for money, especially with a cooked breakfast, it would have been a lot cheaper if I had gone direct though as all my friends did.
Graham (4/5): Best of a bad bunch for just a single night. - Reasonably priced accommodation in the Newcastle area can be hard to find. Just about everything we looked at was old and on a very busy (noisy) road. Without paying Capital City 4 star prices, this was the same. We chose this hotel because, later in the evening the traffic quietens down and, once you put your head down and close your eyes, just so long as you can stay asleep, all rooms are about the same. Yes it's old, yes it really needs a refurbishment, but from our search, this seemed one of the better ones at a reasonable price.
Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely - The room was clean, had air-con, pool, jug,toaster, comfy bed, tv and polite staff. it is an older style but everything was tip top.
Joe (10/5): Nice hotel close to amenities - My stay at the Aquarius was a very pleasant experience, the staff were very friendly and helpful and always ready with a smile. The room was quite comfortable and the bed was excellent which in turn gave me a very restful sleep. It is only a small motel and the rooms are not so large, but I would recommend the motel to anyone who wishes a good stop over.
J (6/5): Close to beautiful Lake Macquarie - A family run motel - the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was old 70s style design, which personally we didn't like but some might find nice. The motel looks close to the beach but we discovered it was a beach for 4WD to drive along and therefore not a child friendly beach. There is a beautiful view of Lake Macquarie, however, just a short walk away and an outside table next to the pool. Overall an enjoyable stay.
Simon (8/5): Ok for 1 night stop over - Ok for 1 night stop over
iven (8/5): Everything we needed - Overnight stay for a wedding. Comfortable, clean and good value for money. Cooked breakfast was nice. The management were very hospitable. No bells and whistles but none were required. Recommend.
Maureen (4/5): Good do with a reno - Beds were uncomfortable, no where to put your toiletries in the bathroom
Cheryl (8/5): Aquarius Motel - The owners were very obliging and helpful to me and went the extra mile to make my stay a good experience.
Al (2/5): Tired old motel - Very disappointed as the photos on Wotif didn't reflect the tired old motel that was the reality. Would never ever return and will not use Wotif again as trust has been destroyed. Only sorry I didn't take photos to show you.
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice & friendly - Excellent reception by the owner, who was very helpful in providing a suggestion for a place to have dinner. Highly recommended!
Ads (4/5): Not recommended - Was a last minute booking over the long weekend and failed to meet expectations. The cleanliness was very average lots of stains on the sheets, no foxtel, no milk, noisy as right on main road, noisy people staying next door and right next door to a house with barking dog so didn't get much sleep.
Verified traveler (6/5): Good stay near the beach - Good stay, the staff were nice and informed us about the area and attractions
Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortable and great service - Very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.
Verified traveler (6/5): Convenient location. Just a room. - Quite run down motel lacking any form of ambience but room itself was clean and had everything I required
Verified traveler (6/5): Good location - Good location, everything I needed for a short stay.
Verified traveler (8/5): close to what ever you need to do - very nice place to stay it is close to most things you would want to see in Belmont area
Verified traveler (8/5): Nice motel very friendly staff - Nice clean motel staff extremely friendly and helpful they were very helpful and a clean nice place to stay
K (8/5): Spur of the moment/last minute booking - Staff I spoke with were friendly, polite & helpful. The family room we stayed in was a bit smaller than the others we stayed in for the same price.( not sure what other places in the same location are charging) Some things are a bit retro, others fairly new. The microwave was handy to have. For what we wanted (sleep) on our way home, it did the job :)
Verified traveler (6/5): - The motel is old and needs refurbishment, despite being close to the main road the noise was acceptable as we had an inside room. Noise from other patrons talking was quite pronounced
trish (4/5): Looks nice but.... - Photos deceiving - our room looked nothing like the advertised photo and to top it off, the floor was really sticky! Needless to say, we drove home instead
Anon (6/5): SMALL BUT COMFORTABLE - This small room was thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for our overnight stay. The bed was comfortable, lighting and heating were good. Parking was at our door.
