"Excellent location with views of Nelson bay. We were given a low floor unit so views were so-so, but get a higher floor and I think the views would be more impressive. Overall, it’s a clean and well maintained service apartment. Great for short stays."

"The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making for a very pleasant stay. The property's convenient location, just a short walk from shops and a great selection of dining options, was a real bonus. Breakfast at Little Nell, the restaurant attached to the hotel, was also very enjoyable, with a tasty selection to start the day. What truly stood out, however, was the staff—everyone was genuinely warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would happily stay here again."
