Ok, yes the rooms are slightly dated but really when you are on a beach holiday how often are you in your room? What time we did spend in our room we found it to be like i said dated although clean, comfortable and everything in working order. The pool is most definitely the highlight and we spent so much...

The only good thing was the pool and the kids sandpit! We could not stay in our room as it set off the asthmatics in my family. I don't normally suffer from allergies, but on this occasion even I found it unbearable (hence we had to book other accomodation)! The owner was less than understanding and we had to clean... More

My family and myself stayed at Allamanda Retreat during the holiday period at Christmas. We were very happy with our stay for many reasons including the great staff who were committed to our enjoyment of the motel (as well as the cleanliness of our units- which were spotless!), having self-contained units, the magnificent pool with a tunnel, waterfall and the...

Great location perfect for what we were looking for - a place to meet between Newcastle & sydney. Located within easy drive to The Entrance, restaurants, cafes & diggers club (which has great food & facilities). The unit was spotless! Kitchen had everything we required to make dinner ourselves. The lounge only sat two people but we made do by... More

The Allamanda Resort is an apartment style resort located at The Entrance on the NSW north coast. The room was neat and tidy, although I must admit, haven’t seen a poster bed in years….it looked different. The sofa bed is a bit creaky....but "sleepable". The best part of the resort is the pool…it’s a salt water lagoon style pool with... More

Allamanda is really nice and clean place, and inner pool is beautiful to look at. Unfortunately we were there with quite windy and rainy weather in August, so during the evening and night I was freezing, needless to say, me and kids went home sick. Also, sofa bed in the living is quite old. But staff is very friendly, and... More

My husband and I stayed for 1 night recently and wont be back. The staff were lovely, very friendly but it doesnt make up for the facilities. The 1 bedroom unit we stayed in was very outdated, the sliding door to the bathroom often stuck and came off and you could clearly see anyone in there using the toilet or... More

No service, care or respect from the owners. One staff member actually put their face to my bedroom window at 7.15am to see if anyone was inside. The neighbourhood has loud neighbours partying into the night, the walls are thin. Rooms smell. I will never be back. Do not pay a large deposit, if you can avoid it.

Rooms are badly in need of refurbishment. Furniture is out dated and uncomfortable. Beds and mattresses are well past their use by date. Kitchen equipment is old and needs immediate replacement. Our room stank of smoke and had a generally musty odour. The resort is priced as a 4 Star facility but barely rates as a 3 Star. Very poor... More
