Great location, a good basic motel, friendly staff
The rooms are dated but for the price over Christmas was great. The room is clean and the bed sheets lovely and crisp. Loved the park area and seat on the hill next to the hotel for a quite time overlooking the bay.
We stayed 2 nights motel is very conveniently located in heart of Nelson Bay, 1 minute drive to Golf Course, motel clean and tidy had everything we needed, little dated but for the price perfect......can't fault it will be back for another trip..would recommend to those who are looking for convenient location.
I really enjoyed my stay, the room very clean, staff very friendly and was in walking distance to shops and marina, I would definitely stay there again
Lovely helpful staff. Fixed our shower head very quickly. Very comfortable bed.

It is an older Motel, it was clean and suited us for a few nights stay....handy to have the toaster and microwave....a easy walk down to the water and a nice park to sit in and take in the sea views.

It is a basic motel, but has everything you need for a short stay: a nice hostess at the reception, clean room with microwave, tea/coffee facilities, cutlery and fridge. It was nice to have keyless entry to the room, so not to carry keys around. It is a quite location, but motel is on the hill. It is about 5-7 minutes walk downhill to the marina and beach.
