We loved: Rick Steins dinner - very good!! Staff very friendly and helpful - appreciated the warm and friendly greeting on arrival and help with bags and complimentary bubbles Breakfast - very good (a la Carte) with great coffee. Area - beautiful beaches and sunset beach great for sundown picnics. Comfortable room (ocean view Lower deck 207). Cheeky Dog pub was way better than we expected - great food and drinks (and pet friendly). Big pub but very well done. We didn’t enjoy the Mexican - too greasy for us but friendly staff and great seating. Areas they could improve: We were really disappointed to hear our neighbours TV either side at night - not relaxing for us. I guess this is an old hotel that has perhaps been renovated. We use our breaks to sleep and rest so it’s a shame TVs are heard through the walls. Could replace the single use plastic bottles every day and single use soaps. Would be good to have a recycling bin. Shame we missed the cooking event - we’d have gone to this beforehand if we had known. Not much info on the room - not a biggie but would be good to have more info about what’s on etc. We missed the pool as it was being fixed but appreciated our upgrades. All in all a wonderful stay - thank you!

Right in the heart of Nelson Bay with the best cafe in town on Ground floor. Really loved the renovated and restyled room, the spa, the complimentary goodies and the friendly and efficient staff. Absolutely loved the views.

The rooms were clean and adequate. For the money spent, I wouldn’t expect anything more. A little disappointed that the breakfast room was closed ( my guess covid related) , but the bed was comfortable and the shower hot, what more can you ask for

Reviewed By regaltraveller06

This holiday park gave us a pleasant 3 nights rest from our travels. We had an ensuite site not far from the excellent barbecue area and laundry. The facilities were all clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The park is only a short walk to the beach and in a good location to access Nelson Bay and other areas around Port Stephens. Highly recommended for travellers/holidaymakers of all ages!

Great weekend, but unit needs some attention

Reviewed By sw7475

We stayed in a unit managed by a local estate agent. Their service was great. The service staff at the resort were great too. The apartment was tired and needed attention. The front door doesn't lock from the inside, the kitchen bin I broken, lots of luvers from the plantation shutters were broken or missing. No DVD remote, the TV on picked up 3 channels that were glitchy. Only one remote for the 2 upstairs aircons - if you turn one on it turned the other off. The water pressure in the shower was very inconsistent Overall we made it a great getaway, but disappointed for the money paid. The resort was in a great location and loved that courtesy buses came to pick us up for local pubs

Pleasant but Overpriced

Reviewed By Royshot

Had a pleasant 5 days. Staff were excellent as was the amenities and view. Feel that it was overpriced for what we got. A ROOM WITH NO DRAWS to put our folded clothes. Were told that all the rooms were like this and on leaving saw the manager and questioned him and he didn't seem to perturbed. I've done a lot of traveling and never had a room like this. (the rooms were of a good size). Also the carpet from reception to the dining room was worn out and needs to be replaced. The restaurant was most enjoyable. Besides this, our stay was very pleasant and we would probably stay there again providing there were draws in the room.
