Stayed two nights last week in ground floor ocean front room and loved it. High ceilings, huge room and great view of the beach. Bob ( the cat ) along with his staff are very able and contribute to the relaxed vibe. Simple but delightful continental breakfast around the shared indoor or courtyard table with like minded people.

Had a great stay at this place. Rooms were clean, large and well kept. Breakfast area was comfortable and the back porch is a nice place for some quiet time. And the view out the front is exceptional. Plenty of places nearby for food and drink. I wish I could find more places to stay as nice as the Dive... More

I stayed with my partner in early April and had a lovely stay, I work in the industry & really appreciated the originality of the room and hotel, opposite the beautiful ocean, and the owners and staff were very friendly. A quirky boutique property, clean and friendly. Love the name, would definitely stay again.

It was a great location above Coogee Beach, if you are happy to be self sufficient and look after yourself a bit it is the place for you, if you want waiting on hand and foot go somewhere else !! Great breakfast ingredients, friendly... More

Coogie Bay is a seaside community about 30 minutes by frequent bus service from Sydney with great beaches and loads of evening activity. The Dive Hotel is right on the sea front and is a very relaxing place to stay with an almost 'hippy' ambiance. Constant access to a breakfast/kitchen area throughout the day, air conditioned bedrooms and friendly and... More

We loved staying here over new year. It has a laid back feel which made our stay in Sydney feel like a beach holiday just as much as a city break. The hotel is in a great location, has a very homely feel, and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms to be honest aren't luxury (some of the... More

Firstly, I've got to fess up. I was spoilt. I turned up, straight from a meeting and the first remark after introductions was "hope you don't mind, we have upgraded you to a front room". No - I didn't mind at all, thanks very much. As I was on business in Eastern Suburbs / airport, it was much better than... More
