Our second stay here, the room was equally well presented as the last time. Breakfast this stay was better than our last, this time more choices for those who don't like a plate full of greasy bacon. The hotel's location is close to resteraunts and cafés, with the awesome Honeysuckle bay just across the road, where you will find resteraunts, cafés, entertainment, and a walk that will take you all the way along the foreshore to Newcastle's Nobbys Lighthouse and the breakwater.
