Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

Liked the position and the pool,though it would be handy to have a railing for elderly people. Apartment had very noisy neighbours next door who were screaming and fighting and making loud bang noises,mostly at night which ruined our holiday and our sleep.Beds were uncomfortable and place needa an uplift.Blood stains on quilt in main bedroom,took it of the bed, disgusting.

Nelson's bay is a beautiful location to relax anjoy the water . Great for all ages with plenty of options - boating, swimming , snorkelling , walking and socialising at cafes. Highly reccommend going on a dophin cruise as its great way to not only see the dophins but to see the harbour and surrounds, also good for solo travellers to enjoy.

The property was well furnished with modern and up to date furniture. It was reasonably clean and tidy. As far as ocean views go, I had to stand on my tippy toes to see a glimpse of the ocean in the far distance. Had a beautiful breakfast at The little Nel, we highly recommend going there!

Nelson Bay is just great.

Nelson Bay is just great. I dont live too far, in Newcastle, but we always had family trips to the bay for Christmas. And I want my son to have the same experiences I did when I was younger. It is just far away that it really does feel like we are on holidays somewhere alot further away. The shops, the cafes, the resturants, bars, everything is at your door step. Summer time is amazing, the bay has the most beautiful colours, everyone enjoying the sun. It is definitely 10/10

This is a great place to stay in Nelson Bay. Close to the two beaches, cafes and walking distance to The Little Beachhouse Resturant and Diggers Club. The pool is lovely and very clean with beautiful palm trees and greenery and the location is rather quite considering its a busy part of town. We have rebooked for 2025 so that says it all.

Reasonably big (Family) room. Location is fantastic - easy walking distance to the Nelson Bay town centre and the marina. Contact-free check in-/out means a fast and efficient process. Only ground floor rooms so easy access. The swimming pool is clean and refreshing.
