Stay in Nelson Bay
While I think the property was really nice, there were few things that happened that made our experience mixed. First, we never received the check in pack by email and the msgs we sent to the owner were not replied at all (to this moment). We were luck to know where to pick the key only because of the recipient from the hotel which was not her role to take care of us! 2nd, there was not kitchen table in the unit, high bar is not suitable for little kids! I find it very annoying as well. I would also expect to have some manual how to use the different electronic devices etc

Great.
Loved the resort and pool, the room could use some love and attention, the bathroom/bedroom smelt musty and mouldy.. not sure if it was from the bathroom not having good ventilation or the airconditioner on the wall. Also had to use 2 beach towels to cover the plantation shutters to have full privacy in the bedroom as there was about 8 slats missing, with full view to adjacent rooms! Would most likely return to the resort but would stay in another room and on the ground floor with direct pool access!
