Excellent hotel well located for marina and dining options in nelson bay and makes a great base for exploring the area. Plenty of parking with spacious comfortable and immaculately clean rooms. Friendly and helpful staff, we booked an extra night but had to change rooms but was all sorted by staff while we went out. Nice heated pool with bbq area and small gym on site also little nell cafe attached to hotel great for coffee breakfast and lunch options. Highly recommend.

Excellent value. Clean, comfortable and lots of little touches to make it feel like a more luxurious stay than the price-tag suggests. Lovely pool area, friendly staff and the perfect centralised location in Nelson Bay for exploring all around Port Stephens. Would definitely stay again.
