“I appreciate that this hotel offers a riverside setting, making it easy to enjoy the views and catch the ferry to Nelson's Bay. The updated rooms come with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, plus there's a children's playground for families. While the pub's food has drawn mixed opinions, the variety of drinks and live music create a lively atmosphere.”
