Thanks Terry. Looking forward on catching up with you guys.

parking is a major problem

Providing it's secure off street parking, I'm sure we'll sort it out Bob.
On the positive or may be it the negative side.  How was your stay at The Nelson last weekend?

the building is vintage like some of us.
It has had a make over, Modernized in the not to distance past. like some of out vehicles

The room we had was reasonable.
no real complaints
if you don't have a cat  to swing  no issues.

Ok
if i had to be picky, the showers are on  the  low water supply  side of  where i like it to be.

It would be best to approach the drive way from  the lower side ( ie  up the hill ) to get in to the drive way
The Nissan 4by  had  no problems, Butttt  a C3 ?
one  major advantage the premisses has 
it next door to the bottle shop
Bfit

ps
I noticed a number of  brown paper bag & bottles on  block next door
near the front of the building !

its a long stretch of the imagination to describe the car parking area a secure
there  may be security are night , I didn't inquire into that at all.

Hey BFit
I agree with a low car - it may be best to, drive down to, and around the roundabout near the visitor center and back up the hill, turn in on the lower level - 1st turn beyond the drive through bottle shop, the dip in the road outside reception is awkward. 

(Would you like me to raise your concerns? happy to do so).

[bfit]

No mate if we all go there and work together we will have a g8 weekend
I found the staff  there excelent
That accounts for a lot

We can be to critical at times life's to short
There looks too be an out door setting behind he pool area
That will suit us  perfectly. 
It would be nice to know if there is a security patrol of the car park at night.

Bob, I'll inquire about the security, I'm guessing the answer will be no.

I have been organizing this club run since 2010. It has been well attended with members corvettes parked in non patrolled parking, and not once has there been an issue with car security at any of the resorts, and I can see no difference with The Nelson.

Mate as you know
It's all about the company we keep, than any thing else

I hope  it's  not tooooo bad. I know I only have a meer C4 but it doesn't  like tricky dips - hence why I'm  missing half the fairing / air dam under the front. And I  suppose I'll have to turn on the Central locking and Alarm System. I have no issues with the car being stolen since they would have skull drag the car onto a tray tow to get it, whilst it screems the house down. Its fitted with the full OEM security system plus a Piranha. So its the broken window or the vandalism etc that will "P" me off. But anyway "B" and I are booked (fri-sun).  It'll be OK as long as the bed is OK, clean and firm. The steaks are black on the outside an m/rare inside. Starting to get hungry already..

top parking area


there is about 12 parking places under main building ( Basement area ) to the right of photo  and 4/5 car spaces under the   main building
at to the right of  top parking area.
bfit

[Steeler]

I believe there are around 40 car spaces, I can ask or count them if you like?

[bfit]

That  probably about rite
19 in photo and 5 of so under the  the building to the right facing the car park and  roughly 12 /14 under building.
if we  utilize the top section  to Left of Pool area,
nose to tail we can get 18 or so  vehicles in that section   no worries if required.
