WELCOME TO NOVOTEL SYDNEY BRIGHTON BEACH

On behalf for the Director Fisheries Compliance and the Fisheries Compliance Unit I would like to extend to you all our sincerest thank you and appreciation for your patience and faultless co-ordination of our Fisheries Compliance Staff Forum held at the Novotel Brighton Beach on 6 & 7 June 2022. This has been a long process starting in 2020 with many delays and date changes due to COVID.  For myself personally it was an absolute delight that I was tasked to organise such a significant event for our Unit and to have had the pleasure of working with you all once again putting it all together to achieve such a successful event that our staff will remember for many years. I am grateful for all your assistance and patience with my never ending emails requesting numerous changes, extras and the like.  As I said above our event was an incredible success enjoyed by all that attended including all our guest speakers and retired fisheries management guests. Everything ran smoothly with such professionalism and attention to detail. We would  like to acknowledge the staff that attended to our catering needs and services during both days of our forum, and formal dinner on the evening of 7 June and to be recognised for their incredible service, efforts and assistance to everyone.  A special mention to your Restaurant Manager (unfortunately I cannot recall his name) who made himself personally available daily to ensure all needs or requests were met without issue, ensuring smooth progress through the restaurant during the lunch and breakfast periods. He checked in with me on many occasions to confirm that we were satisfied with all that was being provided.  The audio visual co-ordination again was very smoothly managed with flexibility to our changing agenda and the services provided by all involved and staff  was amazing.  I cannot thank you all enough for working with me in achieving such a memorable and enjoyable successful event. I hope I have the pleasure of working with you again in the future.  Please pass on our acknowledgements to all staff involved they should be very proud of their services and how their services reflect on the Novotel.

Sincerely

Its been too long with covid restrictions. Back here as it is a really relaxing and beautiful place to stay. Rooms are refurbished and well appointed however a lounge was much needed as all we had to sit on was an office chair in the room. Beautiful pool area with tiered seating platforms so you can find your own little nook. Spoilt for choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner surrounding the hotel so no need to eat in. Opposite family friendly beach too with a public bus also outside your door which takes you to the railway station (approx 10 mins away). Friendly and courteous staff. We will be back!

Room was very presentable with all that we needed for our stay.

Sleep disturbed by the hoons. TV seems to have a problem with it dropping out for a few seconds on a regular cycle. Reported it. It will be so much better when all of the renovations are finished. The lift from B2 to level 1 needs attention eg better label for "floor 1" and signs to direct you to the Novotel reception area.
