Room..good. Staff... good. Food... good. The only thing that would deter me from returning is the fact that dogs are allowed in the dining area. Yapping, scrapping, snarling, flea-infested....but enough of the owners. I have an allergy to dog hairs so despite the excellent qualities of this hotel, I cannot return. It's a shame.

Botany Bay hotel was a nice place to eat. Went first time in the area to explore with my family. Great place for a long sandy walk by the sea side. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing view. But you have to book a table to get a nice spot. Unfortunately we didnt get that coz it was busy nevertheless the food didnt not disappoint. Nice bread and oven bake pizza for little one was a treat. Sadly run out of pork belly and has to settle on chicken burger. It was tasty and you have to order a mini donuts for dessert. For the sweet tooth. It was a lovely place and great

Botany Bay restaurant is a great place to come for a lunch or dinner after long coastal walk or after beach in summer. The restaurant is very popular and can be very busy, especially at summer season. The staff there always polite, helpful and knowledgeable. They have the car park just outside of the restaurant. Make sure to submit your number plate on their system to avoid paying for parking ticket.
Masks are required to enter. Good choice of meals and drinks there. Sometimes you can wait for your order longer then expected, but it is worth the wait! Definitely recommend it!

Booked a one night stay through Booking.com. The booking was simple and very clear/detailed. Price was a little over than the average for the area but once you stay you'll understand it is actually cheap for what you're getting. Location is sensational, just on the edge of a cliff facing the ocean, the building itself is this cutest white house designed to maximise the views as there is glass ceilings/windows throughout the place.
Food/service/presentation/staff was a 5star rating and finally the room was AMAZING. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND with no doubt.

Smart and upmarket place right on the seafront. Food is always good as is the beer. Never stayed in the hotel itself though but I would think it would be pretty good. Parking around the hotel in warmer weather can be tricky so use the hotel car park and pay.
