Crowne Plaza Shellcove
Planning a family holiday on the South Coast of New South Wales means finding a base that handles logistics smoothly while offering a relaxing environment. Opening soon along the waterfront, Crowne Plaza Shell Cove Marina provides a smoke-free retreat designed for multi-generational travellers. Positioned at 10 Waterfront Promenade in Shell Cove, the property combines modern hotel amenities with a calm seaside atmosphere.
Arriving with a vehicle full of holiday gear is straightforward. The hotel features a secure undercover carpark equipped with licence plate recognition technology and direct lift access to the lobby. Self-parking is available for a daily rate of $30 AUD. For those driving electric vehicles, the carpark includes two dedicated Tesla Generation 3 EV charging stations. The property is also designed to be highly accessible, featuring wheelchair-accessible facilities, elevator access to all nine floors, and six dedicated accessible guest rooms equipped with bathroom grab bars and handrails. Standard check-in begins at 3:00 pm, and check-out is at 11:00 am, with late check-out options available by request.
Shell Cove Accommodation
Finding a room configuration that gives a family enough space is a key part of holiday planning. The property offers 179 beautifully appointed guest rooms and suites. Families can opt for Premium Rooms featuring two queen beds, or choose spacious one- and two-bedroom serviced suites that include full kitchens, making it simple to manage meal times and snacks for young children. For larger family groups, connecting rooms, cots, and rollaway beds can all be arranged by request.
Every room and suite features a private balcony with clear outlooks across the marina, the Tasman Sea, or the Illawarra escarpment. Inside, families can settle in with free Wi-Fi, a 55-inch television with streaming capabilities, a sound system, and a pillow menu. Practical inclusions like a mini refrigerator, coffee pod machine, tea-making facilities, and daily housekeeping help keep daily routines running on time, while room service is available when you prefer a quiet night in.
Shellcove Marina
The hotel sits directly on the edge of the water. The central gathering point for relaxation is the open-air pool deck. Featuring a heated outdoor swimming pool and an inviting poolside bar, it provides a dedicated space to sit back and swim while enjoying the outdoor environment. Adults can also utilise the fully equipped gym and fitness centre to maintain their wellness routines while away from home.
When it comes to dining, you do not need to wander far to find fresh options. The on-site waterfront restaurant, Coastal Med, celebrates Modern Australian cuisine heavily inspired by Mediterranean flavours. The menu focuses on the freshest locally sourced seafood and ingredients, served in a vibrant atmosphere. With an outdoor dining area available, families can dine alfresco and watch the boats sail by in the marina.
