Simple but modern recently renovated room. Parking is tight (physically) but we arrived in between check out and check in times so whoever couldn’t access our room as we were too early , we got a space. Recommend doing this as parking tricky in area at weekends

We arrived at the hotel at 8pm, where there was no one on the reception desk and had to wait 20 mins until someone finally emerged, there was no water in the room/fridge and no milk for coffee or tea. We’d hoped to hang by the pool the next morning however the pool was filthy and green so we decided to head to the beach instead. The person in the room next to us kept slamming their door shut. No breakfast facility as the hotel is undergoing renovations however the cafe across the road was great and portions sizes were decent. Only positive about the hotel is that the lady at the front desk was friendly and polite and the bed was comfy.

The hotel is undergoing a well overdue renovation and our room was mostly finished. There was one area that was roughly boarded off. No problems with that.
But unfortunately the craftsmanship of the persons responsible for the work left a lot to be desired. There is little point in renovating if you don't do it properly. Such a shame as the property has so much potential.
Other than that our stay was pleasant enough with a large room, comfortable bed and courteous staff.

Lovely stay at this hotel! Loved the location, super close to the beach and all the beautiful scenery of Newport. Had a lovely view from my room balcony and it was clean and comfortable. I stayed when renovations were happening so that’s the only reason I haven’t given full stars as you could see the building work taking place and there was a bit of building work noise going on. Other than that it was an amazing stay and would stay again :)

The property was in full construction mode with noise and dust consistent with construction. It really didn't matter to us since we were only sleeping there, and the noise was during business hours when we weren't there much. It is winter there, and low season, so not surprised that they chose this time of year for work. Personnel there were very friendly and helpful, and we did not complain or ask for any discounts. I guess it's because I work construction too and understand the limitations.

My stay was a very average experience at most. The room was clean except for the stained curtains and the odd black hair located in the bathroom (assuming from a cleaner). I could hear every single world clear as day from other guests in surrounding rooms making it very hard to sleep. The rain pouring over the stairs outside also made sleeping very difficult. There’s a lack of powerpoint options along with no aircon access within the room

The motel is clean and comfortable but a little run down.
We've stayed before and knew that they supplied shower products but most tubs were empty or difficult to work.
The water runs out onto the bathroom floor so you have angle the shower head.

Funny sort of place in some ways really nice but in others not so good. Had an unpleasant run in with another guest when parking our car, he had blocked the hotel car park entrance and when I pointed this out the staff failed to do anything about it and just got huffy. Also if you have over size 34 waist you may have trouble getting into the shower I have never seen a shower door so narrow.

Definitely not a four-star hotel experience - I'm suprised they can say that. The hotel is very old fashioned looking and the room was nothing like on the photo. Very dated and old with the tiniest single beds for the twin room.

Tea making facilities were also very basic and cheap brands of tea / coffee. The balony was very dirty and the curtain to balcony door was dirty and moudly. Rest of room was clean though.

Water in shower was good though - very good pressure and nice and hot.
Position is great too - very close to transport and the Newport pub.

This hotel is very tired and nothing like the photos. First night I was kept awake with doors banging and people talking. We booked 3 rooms, the room on level 1 ( they had a baby ) outside their room was a common area and after they came home from the pub, stopped outside near the pool and smoked and were very loud. Booked for 3 nights didn’t bother with the 3rd. Very disappointed.

Stayed at the Mirage for a staycation up on the Northern Beaches. Yes the property is tired and really there aren’t any facilities you’re going to use except your room, but that’s what you get for the price. It’s priced appropriately, and well located for everything Newport, Avalon and the northern beaches offers, and right opposite the Newport Arms and Bert’s (the new fine diner within it). The staff couldn’t be friendlier and more accomodating too. Is it fancy? No. Is it priced accordingly? Yes. Just don’t expect more than a bed for the night in a great spot. And take your ear plugs, rooms are a bit noisy.

The property is in dire need of revamping and TLC. It is jaded and from the 80’s in style. The location is superb. The hotel does not have a restaurant or offer any breakfast either, relying heavily on the coffee shop up the road; or the Newport hotel across the road. There is also someone/or something that sounds remarkably like a leaf blower the starts every morning at about eight to ensure you don’t sleep in. I did have a good time in the Northern Beaches but didn’t have it enriched by the hotel. A bed with a pillow was my deduction.
