    The Bay is easy to get around and caters to all age demographics The shopping has some little gems, but for a serious shopper Newcastle is a short drive away Lots of calm beach’s for the not so confident in the surf or you are within a 15 minute drive to a surf beach.

    To comercial .

    To comercial . Local council likes to jam parking meters everywhere you go so they can milk money out you, this totally discourages stopping anywhere to visit local shops. The boat ramps even had metered parking , people would like to have an unlimited day out in their boat and not be concerned about how much it will cost. Disgusting greed.

    What a darling place to visit with friends!

    What a darling place to visit with friends! If you're looking for a quiet girls weekend/getaway there are multitudes of great restaurants and cafes, lots of homeware shopping and boutiques, and lots of massage and nail salons. So awesome, would go again in a heartbeat.

    The whole area is beautiful, with many beautiful beaches, waterways and National Parks. Whether you want to swim, bushwalk, bird watch, get into photography, go boating, dive, explore, whale or dolphin watch, visit nearby islands or just simply relax, Nelson Bay/ Port Stephens Area is awesome. It has Great places to dine, my favourites Sirenas Seaside at d'Albora Marina, The Deck at Soldiers Point and Bubs Seafood also at the marina. My last holiday there, I really needed to relax. I had 9 days of perfect weather, ocean swimming, beach and bush walking everyday. Getting pampered at Sirene Spa Shoal Bay everyday, either with massages or sauna and spa.

    Great selection of restaurants, cafes & bars within easy walking distance, particularly enjoyed Mavericks for the food, location overlooking the Marina and friendly staff. Large Woolworths to get all of your food for self-catering. Great local bus service to see the wider area plus ferry to Tea gardens and Dolphin cruises - what is not to like! The staff at the Tourist Information office were very helpful.

    Nelson Bay is one of my favourite spots in the Australian coast so far, it is relaxing with beautiful beaches like One Mile Beach and Birubi Beach. There is good night life if you go to Shoal Bay and also good restaurants.

    This is a small older style motel that’s been given a thoughtful update. The room had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The location was perfect we could walk into Nelson Bay, out to Shoal Bay and the walk to Little Beach is very easy. The hotel management was very responsive and helpful. Great value for money.

    We chose the property based on location and the availability of 2 single beds and 1 queen bed which was perfect for our family who are both older children. The parking facilities onsite were also perfect as it was in the open and caters for higher vehicles like 4WD's or Utes that are higher than standard vehicles.

    The cabins we were staying in are super close to the beach access. They’re spacious and had everything we needed. The park is in a great location, a short walk to both beaches on either side and the boathouse restaurant up the road which was amazing. Very central and close to Nelson bay centre and shoal bay.

    The house was perfect and most importantly really clean and well kept. Also great location, only a few minutes drive to Little beach and Nelson Bay shops. The games room was great for the kids, it kept them entertained. It was an amazing stay, we didn't want to leave. We'll be back again for sure.

    Although there is limited storage space we managed. We have been here about 3 or 4 times and we like the premises. We have also stayed in Nelson Bay and at other more expensive ones but feel that this is fine. It is also close to Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay and Nelson Bay.

    It was amazing. Modern, very clean, excellent staff and a great location. D'Arbora Marina was right across the road, so was the main shops. The pool was great and the cafe! If I return to Nelson Bay I would definitely stay here again!
