Very very comfy bed. We can hardly find any hotel that has real bed and this is the one! We finally managed to take some long needed rest sometimes get away just to be able to rest properly while exploring the areas. We would definitely be considering staying in Peninsula again whenever we visit Nelson Bay area. The Korean restaurant in the hotel complex offers great food, definitely a must do visit each time!

The beds were excellent. No PowerPoint near the kettle. Used the PowerPoint on the floor. No chairs in the room. The curtains needed attention. The door to the vanity was broken. While the shower stall has been retiled, the floor was awful. Needs to be replaced.

Big clean room

Had a good night sleep in room 208. Nice big room with king bed (good quality mattress/pillows/sheets) and a two seater sofa, yet not cramped at all. Par a chip in furniture all in good condition. Blockout curtains, view of palms and bush beyond when open. Generous with tea, coffee and cookies etc Ironing board and iron in cupboard. Bathroom has shampoo/conditioner/bodywash etc The room was clean and smelled nice upon entering. Parking onsite, pool in inner courtyard and a bonus.... Korean restaurant on premises. Friendly service, walkable to town and beaches and there's a bus stop very close as well. Would stay again
