The Landmark Resort Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The location was excellent, and the spacious room was perfect for our family of four. The pool was huge and a real highlight of our stay. Having a restaurant on-site was incredibly convenient, especially as they catered to my child’s coeliac needs, which made dining so much easier and more enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!"
