"Great stay with lovely view."

The Landmark Resort Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay! The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were even kind enough to help us change rooms when the one we initially received was a little far away and the view wasn’t quite what we expected. We really appreciated their understanding and assistance. Overall, a great experience and we would happily stay here again!"
