It was misleading to me to think the complex was noted as a resort. to me this is from being that, with not dining areas, or the facilities that resorts provide The unit was very comfortable & felt safe. The unit needs to be RE/ PAINTED THROUGHOUT, The bathroom shower screen needs replacing past used by date. The glass panel behind the bath has a large area of mould trapped . Glass panel needs to be replaced or removed. I would definitely stay here again, but would prefer another unit.

Great Hotel in a dead location.
We had stayed at a hotel Nelson Bay before trying out the Boathouse across the water. Despite the Tea Garden's immediate area being devoid of activities etc the Hotels overall spacious room and Pool were our saviour. Really enjoyed it. I was perplexed by the main entry door to our room. It consists of glass and the wooden venetian style slats - at certain angles an outsider can see inside. A curtain is needed, unless there was one and the previous guest stole it.

I booked online at last minute and didn't realise the office would be closed when we arrived. There was an after hours number they rang the manager and he came, opened the room, and office and was very professional and accomodating. I would suggest you ring the property and book directly or arrange a key before 4pm. I would also suggest don't arrive late the view was spectacular and the property was very relaxing. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with lounge and kitchen. The local pub cooks the most wonderful calamari and I suspect other things. It came in an old fashioned butchers paper cone just delightful !! I would love to go back and stay longer I need another night to try the fish n chips.

Excellent for couples and family
My visit was as a single for two days only (wedding to attend). The great surprises were bed seemed like a king, not a queen as advertised (very comfortable). Also two bathrooms/toilets, two TV's and dishwasher with cleansing agents plus a full sized fridge. None of these extras or info were advertised. Had river views as advertised (top third floor though). Carpark is secured. (some awkwardness using security key). Key failed at front pedestrian gate and had to walk around the block to carpark gate at rear of property. Would recommend for couples or families choosing a multiple room unit. For singles like me, there is cheaper out there in Tea Gardens. Too many extras supplied and never used. BUT location is perfect for walking destinations to pub and restaurants.

Only 3 Foxtel channels working. No Foxtel box just analog. Rooms smell old but are clean. Washing machine leeking water over the bathroom floor. The pool is much smaller from what you see on the website photos. Pool good for kids but not adults. You are only given one main entry key and parking door key which makes it harder after the reception closes at 5pm. The gym has only 3 things in it, cross trainer, bike and treadmill.
