She ain’t flash by any means. But the service was fantastic. The room was clean. The pillows and bed comfy. For the price it was great. Head down the stairs towards the waterfront. 8 mins walk to marina!

Was fine for what it was, the location was AMAZING! The bathroom could use some serious upgrading...there was rust and stuff around but all in all it was fine for a short stay. Bed was comfortable. One downside was that they were short by 2 car park spaces so if you get back late, you might not have a place to park. There is a gravel parking area behind the motel you can use, but that was pretty full too, only fit because I had a small car.

close to town centre

Was a good little motel in the process of refurbishment. It was in good clean condition and serviced all our requirements. Parking, security and close to Nelson Bay centre of town and beaches. Price was excellent. Not luxury but real good value.

Short Stay At Nelson Bay.

A relaxing and enjoyable three days. Wayne and Kim could not have been more helpful in making our stay so enjoyable. The whole complex was clean and tidy. Great value for money.
