It looks quite small but it is so large. The rooms are delightful and very comfortable. My daughter was coming down from the central Coast when she lost control of her car in the rain. She had to stay in Sydney as she had no way of getting back that night. I phoned and made a booking, they were so helpful and even though they were busy, they found a room from my daughter and her partner at 9pm at night. We celebrated my sister-in-law's 60th birthday at the hotel. The food was great, every course a winner. We had wonderful service, the staff were terrific. Now I go to the Spa at the hotel. It's in a separate building, right next to the swimming pool and it is really rather luxurious. They offer all sorts of things like body wraps and stone massages . The only problem is getting through to them. They don't have a separate receptionist so you have to leave a message. However, if you want to spoil yourself or a friend, there's nothing better.

It's hard to rate this hotel. The service is good, lets get that out of the way. The front…read morereception service are friendly, informative and quick. Parking underneath is nightmarish, so try to avoid it (plenty opposite the hotel). It's designed for the tiniest of cars only, which you can tel from all the scrapes on the walls. The rooms are ordinary. They do need to do some strong vacuuming and do a refurbish on bathrooms. But ultimately there are not many accommodation places up north in the hotel vein, so the impression I'm getting is that the owners are running this place without refurb until they sell. It's tired and needs a refresh.

Pool and hot tub (spa) is available from 7am-10pm which is nice. The view from the pool during sunrise and sunset is awesome! Staffs are very friendly and happy to keep my luggage when I come early and go to Ku-ring-gai Chase. Everything is good, except for the price. $250/night is pricey comparing with The Arm nearby for only $170/ night. You are also required to pre-authorise $100 on your credit card upon check-in which is a big surprise for me.

The Hornsby Inn is an interesting throwback to a different era--part pub,(bar), part bistro, and…read morepart hotel. Previously I reviewed the hotel aspect. This review is about the bistro. Today there is a karaoke event going on in the bar in the next room. Add about 2000 starlings outside trying to settle for the night and it's very noisy. Other times I have walked through and it's very quiet. They have some interesting menu items but what is on the website is more extensive than what is actually offered. No veggie nachos, for example. They have beef nachos but you can't take the beef off because it's all mixed together already. I ordered the nachos anyway, figuring I could separate the beef, which I was able to do partially. I liked the dish over all. There was a goodly pile of chips with the beef mixture, guac and sour cream. I would have liked more beans. The tomato bits and jalapeños added flavor. With the addition of a draw of Tooey's it was a tasty meal. The place wasn't busy and the staff wear masks as do customers. There's a sign on the door that says you must be vaccinated to come in, but I don't know if they check it.

In fact I'd go as far as calling it a shopping centre pub, namely because it is pretty close to the local shopping centre, though it isn't strictly a part of it. However, they really didn't have a great selection of beers, and the atmosphere wasn't all the best either. However, the staff were nice.

The restaurant (Manfredi at Bells) has fantastic food, though a limited menu if staying for more than one meal. Service at the restaurant is stunning, can't say enough good things about the wait staff - courteous, attentive and, most importantly, not in your way when you don't need them to be. Unfortunately, hotel staff are a different matter. Reception are a bit meh, and don't seem to care when you've got issues with your accommodation. They seem to have multiple systems for the estate because housekeeping can't seem to see when people have booked into other areas of the estate to see when a convenient time is to clean the room. Yes, I know it's pedantic, but it's a bloody expensive stay, so you expect amazing service. When your heating doesn't turn on and your air con is broken, and the reception doesn't seem to believe you and takes four hours to respond to your request, and then can't fix it themselves, it doesn't endear you to their service quality. When your toiletries are watered down, I'm the first one to cry "First world problems", but again, you're paying a lot of money for this level of service so you expect it to be top notch. So, lessons for Killcare - invest in another maintenance person in case one is busy - cross training is essential - I don't care if one is picking up a helicopter from the next estate, all I care is that I'm spending a bloody cold day in a five star resort with no heating. Another lesson - track your guests - invest in the software to see their whereabouts pop up on your restaurant reservation system so you don't leave messages on their phone when the place has no cell coverage. And finally - your reception is your front of house - it's the bastion of welcome, first and last. Make sure they are trained well and give them the tools to make their guests feel welcome, not make their guests feel like they are getting in your way.
