About norvellos
norvellos in brief: the company behind it, the money that keeps it running, and the yardsticks for each pick.
Who runs norvellos
norvellos is published by Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd, Building A, Pinnacle Office Park, 85 Epping Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, AU. You can write to the editors at contact@norvellos.com.

A place on this list cannot be bought, and none of the three hotels belongs to the publisher; where each one sits was decided by the norvellos editors.
How the site earns money
Some links to hotel websites are referral links. If you follow one and book, a partner network may pay norvellos a commission; the price you pay is set by the hotel and does not rise because of it. Hotels cannot pay for a listing or a better position. See the affiliate disclosure.
How hotels are selected
We look for resort hotels with a strong waterfront setting and compare them on five practical points: what surrounds the hotel, the rooms, food and drink, what is within easy reach, and arrival from the nearest airport. We draw on official hotel information, tourism bodies and public records, and we do not invent figures. A detail we could not pin down is flagged for you to raise with the hotel itself.
Marks, grades and guest testimonials have no place here, and gaming gets one plain line per hotel, no more.
Corrections
Hotels renovate, rename venues and change policies. Seen a stale opening hour or a renamed bar on norvellos? Write to contact@norvellos.com with the page and the detail. We check the report against an official source and update the page, noting the revision date at the foot.
