Fantastic resort. Our marina room was a spacious very well planned room, with good fixtures and fittings and was extremely clean. We had a beautiful view of Nelson Bay marina and of the downstairs swimming pool which is very well looked after. Staff are pleasant and professional. It’s a short walk down Magnus street to the town centre. A coffee cart is on site serving food. This is a fantastic find and we’d recommend.
