Nightelier Narrabeen

Nightelier Narrabeen

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were huge. We stayed in an ocean view room with our two 6ft teenage boys and had plenty of room. Queen beds were super comfy and the bathroom was spacious with plenty of storage for the 4 of us. A generous sized fridge to keep plenty of snacks for our teenagers. Great size balcony overlooking the ocean and a tavern directly below with lots on the menu to choose from and reasonable prices. Fabulous location!"
