The accommodation was in a great location. We could walk to Nelson’s Bay marina or town centre easily. The photos were a little deceiving as the unit is quite old and needs some love. The out door area was dirty with cobwebs and dirt. The bathroom floor was not fully cleaned. All guests found the beds quite uncomfortable - very hard.
