Most happening places of Wollongong. Day and night both. Safe, friendly people, so many restaurants to choose from. So far food has been amazing together with the restaurant staff. Our favourite hotel is Adina Apartments. Pleasant staff, clean rooms, filled with amenities, safe parking and above all spot on location. My kid and I both are regulars.
