Mouldy apartments!!!!

samelhaddad 1/4/2026 TripAdvisor review

BLACK MOULD PRESENT! BEWARE! We stayed at this resort for 3 nights between Christmas and new years and please don’t believe their claim that they are 5 star. You are better off staying in the caravan parks down the road. My wife is pregnant and due to the mouldy carpets and curtains, she has been extremely ill and in and out of hospital. Housekeeping will cost you extra. No phone in the room so if you need towels and toilet paper you will need to walk to reception and get them yourself. If you check in early, they won’t call you when your room is ready, you will need to figure that out yourself. The breakfast is subpar at best and for $35, you get dry inedible bacon, stale bread, extremely bland eggs and for barista mode coffee, you will need to pay extra. The pools are badly maintained, bar is never open, dirt and debris in the water. Do not stay here if you value your money. You are better off staying in the Sydney CBD or going to the hunter Valley.

Vinicius L. Families - 1/3/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This is what I shared via Google review already: Hotel is Ok, first impression was good but clearly they need to pay attention to details.. some renovations must happen, otherwise the feeling is that the owner simply do not care at all for their guests. Staff is not well trained, they must do a better job not only in terms of courtesy but to treat guests well and to make them feel at least at a four stars hotel! This is definitely not a 5 stars hotel. No room service, for the Christmas Day nothing was available for guests and the only opened restaurant needed booking.. as excuse the Manager left a paper with some suggestions like : you can go to a Maccas, Dominos.. Oh yeah!! That’s the great experience I was looking for when I booked some holidays at this “Resort” with my kid (4yo) sooooo disappointing!!! To just make everything an even better experience.. my wifi connection was failing all the time, so when at our room, we couldn’t enjoy any streaming because it was lagging all the time.. that lovely connection issues errors were happening all the time! Asking at reception for some alternative.. nothing was available.. and they knew about the connection issues! Well.. another not pleasant experience was the breakfast.. poor fruit options, no fresh juices, just artificial ones, coffee machine to get your hot coffee ..not tasteful at all The pastry was really bad too Another fact.. swimming pool has a bar.. it was closed! There is a heated pool.. it was not warm.. or maybe almost warm.. Ah and there is a sauna.. and yeah.. it was not hot at all.. The balcony of our room was super dirty, we could not step outside barefoot.. I had high expectations and I felt disappointed

The accommodation was not clean, sheets were stained and the room had bugs and insects. The bathroom had bad odour. Golf was great but the rest of the resort was very underwhelming.

Phillip F. Families - 12/30/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had a great family holiday at the resort in one of the golf villas. The resort is well located for exploring the Central Coast area and the facilities are very good. The only negatives were that the beds were not as comfortable as I would have liked, and the dishwasher in our villa didn't work properly (104).

Dear Phillip F., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent family holiday at our resort. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location and facilities. However, we apologize for the discomfort you experienced with the beds and the malfunctioning dishwasher in your villa. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will take them into account as we strive to enhance our guests' experiences. Goodbye and best regards, Pullman Magenta Shores Resort

Elie K. Couples - 12/29/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

Magenta shores used to be one of the best family holiday locations in Sydney. It has become one of the worst. The rooms are extremely outdated with musty, water stained carpets and moldy curtains. No housekeeping included as part of the rate - it is an extra charge. We were not even offered towel replenishment at least and our stay was for 3 nights. The breakfast buffet was extremely stale and mediocre. Also charging $35 for the most basic offering and not even including one barista made coffee is beyond comprehension. Terrible experience overall. Not worth half the price we paid.
