Quiet, safe, easy parking, nice staff. Property condition is fine, cleanness is OK, WiFi is very slow, but we have enough mobile data so it's not a issue for us. Swimming poor is beautiful. It takes 7 mins walking to Woolworths and Thai food, 12 min to town centre. Pretty good for family traveling.

We would have liked a nicer reception! The entrance to our part of the building was really wet for quite some time after the rain had stopped with no sign up. Needed to be mopped. The apartment was very nice and we booked there as it was close to the shops and clubs and not far from the water.

We liked the location and facilities. I few suggestions were to block out more light for better sleep. Extra items for the kitchens. Also to check no maintenance was arranged during our stay as there was some work being done above our apartment.

The apartment was not up to the high standard expected from Mantra. Bath did not have a plug and basin plug was too small. One towel had a rip in it. Toilet roll holder had a screw sticking out to stop it spinning. Bedroom light didn't work. I'm assuming apartments are owned by investors and managed by Mantra, but Mantra need to ensure apartments are maintained to high standards. Location was great, able to walk to shops and surrounding bays. Amazing cafes, restaurants and massage parlors.

There was no problem with the property. I would say it was great value for money. I would love to just see them put some money into it and update the apartments. It was very outdated. Carpet everywhere. I was very worried about the kids eating at the dinner table due to there being carpet under it. I went with a 4 year old. 2.5 year old and a 9 month old. It had everything you needed and free parking which was a must as everywhere is metered parking in Nelson bay. Close to everything in the city centre and easy to find. Management was so helpful and lovely to deal with.
