Lovely place to stay

The property was very spacious, well laid out and comfortably accommodated three couples who were staying there for an event in Nelson Bay. It was very quiet, exceptionally clean and we all agree we would happily stay there again. Only improvement would be to have a few general supplies there like cling wrap, aluminium foil and a coffee maker of some sort. Overall a great place to stay.
