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.

Staff was available and we could park our car after check out for 1,5h more. That was great. However we found a big cockroach in the room and later on many smaller ones. although we have reported it we did not get another room or any compensation.after our stay we had to check our bags to make sure we did not take any cockroach with us. Altogether our stay was disappointing

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
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.

Rooms are desperately small. But.... it is a very short walk into the marina and town and this redeems it. Outside areas need a good clean and pool furniture needs replacing urgently.

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.
