Really enjoyed our stay in Nelson Bay, the studio was so nice with everything we needed. Debbie was so helpful throughout and provided recommendations for the nicest restaurant. The bed was so comfy! Would definitely recommend staying here close walk to beach and restaurants/shops.

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 !

Leanne on Front Reception was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. I liked the ease to access our room from either lift or stairs. Very quiet. I'm a Celebrant and MC and I had a Wedding/Reception at Nelson Bay Bowling and Recreation Club less than 4 minutes away. Very central location. I'll definitely be back. We had a lovely stay.
