"Hi, the entire stay was lovely except that a rat or a mouse were getting into the property at night trying to reach out for food. there is a hole in the property where they can get in and out..... the animals woke me up on night 2 and 3 and i have to say that i was quite scared on my second night as i could not work out what was the noise. on night 3, the animal came 3 times at different time during the night and woke me up each time . not pleasant . Thanks "

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff best curry fish"

Peninsula Nelson Bay Motel and Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Ingenia Holidays One Mile Beach

8/10 Good

"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."
