The Hotel Nelson
We didn’t have the breakfast as we walked into town instead for that (Wata cafe is excellent btw!), but the unit we stayed in was everything we wanted and needed for our stay. Great shower, and the pool was lovely as well. Great laundry facilities, and as previously mentioned was only a 15min walk ...
