3.5/5

Only three spaces and no toilets so we didn’t stay but a very lovely view and closely situated to the city centre if you don’t mind a 30 minute walk.

Rather noisy - situated about 50 metres off a busy expressway.
A nice grassy area and shady trees, if you are feeling energetic tackle the 9km walking/cycling track that loops round the estuary.
