The first time we stayed here we booked a budget room. These are clean and comfortable but very basic with no view, they needed renovation when we stayed there but this was about 2008. Bathrooms are not as renovated as the ones upstairs but still plenty of showers and toilets available. The breakfast which was included was a fully cooked... More

I'm not going to tell you to avoid this place, but I will share my experience with you and you can make up your own mind. This is a very old building, which was one of the attractions. Unfortunately it would appear that general maintenance costs are considered too high and not worth the investment. The common areas are worn,... More

What a terrible place. The manager was rude and swore at us when we asked to be in a different room AS THERE WERE MICE IN OUR ROOM! She was incredibly rude and unhelpful (as there was only one other couple staying they had other rooms) yet she still made us feel as if it was our fault and we... More

I have stayed at The Oceanic Apartments a few times now and love it. The position is a good as it gets, on more than one time we actually had a room that bordered the national park. The back beach is 2 minutes walk and the town is only 5 mins walk away, so everything is so easy to get... More

We had a wonderful weekend in Sorrento The guesthouse has lots of charm -its not 5 star but it doesnt claim to be. We were able to walk to the beach and town easily and the verandahs at the guesthouse were fantistic on a hot night with the lovely ocean breeze. If you want reasonably priced clean accommodation and dont... More

From the moment of first contact with Oceanic it was clear they couldn't care less whether we stayed or not. However, we were attending a wedding and needed somewhere to stay. For the price we paid ($265 per night), I'm afraid I assumed comparable service and facilities. Breakfast was not included in this price. The room was dirty - thick... More

We stayed there only for 1 night, thankfully! the room was not exactly nice, just the bad and a lamp. Nothing bad but,considering the price and everything I'd not suggest anyone to stay there. Roberto.

We were really looking forward to staying in this lovely old Guesthouse in Sorrento but it fell well short of our expectations. The service was poor, the people unfriendly - I guess I expected an exuberant owner-operated B&B but the staff seemed bored and unexcited about this lovely old house. The carpet was threadbare in places, the kitchen was locked... More

I've stayed in Whitehall guesthouse three or four times - most recently last weekend. I love the old style feel, the shared bathrooms (there are rooms with ensuites for a bit more), the shared loungerooms, the dining room for breakfast because it feels like you're in a different time. The carpets do need replacing but it appears to have been... More
