Beautiful place to stay. Friendly staff. Rooms are well appointed with everything you need & tastefully decorated. Rooms felt serene & peaceful. Bed was comfortable & pool was gorgeous. The sun lounges made the pool such a great place to relax we used the pool multiple times.

This hotel has recently had the most stunning major renovation that has been meticulously done with great attention to detail. The new pool area is absolutely amazing. The lobby area is stunning and the rooms are just beautiful. Everything was so clean and the is even a cute hotel dog! I thoroughly recommend booking this hotel to support the owners who have just done an outstanding job at this reno. They must have the best pool area in Port Stephens.

From the brilliant welcome received at reception with their professional and friendly attitude, our overnight stay was amazing and deserving of five stars. The tasteful decor was wonderful and the beds were perfect for a great night’s sleep. We did not require a ‘room with a view’ yet could see the boats moored in the marina. Easily comparable with any first-class accommodation we have ever experienced.

Newly reopened after a major renovation and redesign so very clean and fresh. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Room was excellent with everything brand new. Only let down was the ‘stunning’ pool was not heated, so was too cold for me to enjoy, which was a big disappointment. Would definitely return once the pool is heated.
