"Absolutely loved our stay! The reception staff was helpful and just lovely, bringing towels to my kids when she heard they were in the pool. The apartment we stayed in was the 3-bedroom apartment. It was quite dated, however clean, and there was everything we needed, really. Great positon to go for walks to various beaches that surround the area and close to Nelson Bay."

"We hired the budget cabin. It was well presented and the double bed was comfortable. The only negative is the bunk beds were tiny. We had our 12 year old who is not on the tall side and he just fit in the bed. The resort had lots of options for kids, and the staff were very nice. A great place for families."
