Comfortable & Spacious

I loved the spacious room, which had two large beds along with a modern bathroom and kitchenette. It provided all the essential amenities we needed for our family stay and was very comfortable overall.

Heated Pool Success

The heated swimming pool was a hit with my kids, especially on a cooler day. They had a fantastic time splashing around, and it provided us with a great way to unwind after our daily excursions.

Delicious On-site Cafe

The Little Nel cafe on-site was a gem! We enjoyed breakfast there every day, and the food was delicious. One of the best spots for brunch I've come across in Nelson Bay.

I had a wonderful time during my stay at this hotel! The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk to the marina and great shops. The room was tidy and had everything I needed, though the bed was a bit too soft for my taste. The cafe on-site served fantastic meals, but I found the breakfast prices to be a tad high. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would love to return!

I had an incredible experience at this hotel! The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, making for a wonderful stay. The amenities, including the heated pool and the cozy cafe/restaurant, were fantastic. However, it can be tricky to get a room during peak times as they sell out quickly.

8.6/10

The hotel was in a great spot, just across from the marina and close to all the exciting downtown amenities. The rooms were comfortable and showcased some recent upgrades, though a few areas felt a bit tired. The outdoor heated pool was a lovely addition for relaxation, but we did encounter a leaky ceiling in our bathroom, which wasn't ideal. The dining at the café downstairs was delicious and a highlight of our stay. Overall, it offered good value for money, but the leak and outdated bedding were minor drawbacks.
