I went with my partner and absolutely adored the accommodation. The bed and pillows were more comfortable than my own. The pool was amazing, great size, nice and warm (winter holiday) and empty of all others at 10pm. The staff were always helpful and very nice. I would stay again there again anytime. The only negative would be the breakfast... More

We stay here often as it is very central and close to the marina and shops. The rooms are always clean and I find them to be spacious. The staff is very freidnly and are more then happy to try and accomodate your needs. The only down fall is the wifi hasn't worked for us when we have stayed there.

Had another excellent quick break at Nelson Resort with girlfriends. We booked the spacious 3 bedroom apartment and had plenty of lounging space and bathrooms for 4 of us. Chic decor and those beds are as good as I remembered from our first stay. Views to the marina and a full kitchen and fridge (for the champagne and cheese!). We... More

The Nelson Resort is a nice hotel and just 3 minutes away from the Nelson Bay beach. The rooms where tidy and big enough. For people who just use the hotel room to sleep and spend their days outdoor this is a perfect option! Only thing I missed whas the free wifi option.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway with the kids. Booked into a family room which had a small kitchenette, a king bed, a single bed and a double foldout sofa. We had a nice view over the marina and the location was great. Nice heated pool. One of the best aspects was breakfast in The Little Nel Cafe which... More
