Nelson Towers Motel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"The room was a bit small for the two beds we had, however having a small table and chairs outside in a small alcove was a great way to have more space available. Rooms were able to be serviced each day if we needed, and the motel was quiet, with secure access and parking facility and was in a really convenient location close to shops and the marina. The only two maintenance issues we had was that the screen door leading to the outside alcove was broken and the shower door wouldn't close properly. An overall positive experience and visit,"

Azzurra - Huge Elevated Deck and Glorious Water Views

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding place , fantastic views and excellent for entertaining.Sitting on the Balcony and watching the dolphins swim by was very relaxing , short stroll to the beach for a swim . about 20 minutes scenic walk to town along the coast . Lots of rooms and great for 2 families or a large group, plenty of bathrooms . The house was well stocked with everything you need"
