Seabreeze Beach Hotel, South West Rocks NSW
On our way back from Queensland we stopped off at a town that was very special to us called South West Rocks where we had previously camped on a couple of occasions. As it was already late and we would be leaving the following morning, we were after a place that was cheap and where we could park the truck we were driving. Above the pub would be where we spent the night.

Summary
As we really only needed a bed to sleep in for the night and room to park the truck, the Seabreeze Beach Hotel met our needs. It’s also ideal for young families as there are a couple of single beds in the same room. The place is definitely showing its age and could do with some sprucing up. Located above a pub, noise could be an issue if a live band was playing or there was a rowdy group of patrons.
