Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

    The marina was amazing and the people in the shops and restaurants were friendly and had suggestions for eating out. We found a lovely cafe for lunch and then enjoyed a delicious dinner at Buoys. In the morning, we had breakfast at a gorgeous cafe located in a home wares store. A few purchases were made here. There is paid parking in the main streets for one hour so moving the car was the only issue with spending more time shopping and exploring the town. In warmer weather we would explore the water activities. Worth the trip off the motorway for Nelson Bay when travelling between Brisbane and Sydney.

    Nelson Bay is so peaceful and friendly. We were just interested in relaxing for this stay. There is so much to do within a very small distance and Newcastle is less than an hour away. We returned from our stay totally refreshed. The Bowling Club have great meals and drinks.

    Given that we were travelling in winter and the weather was rainy, the atmosphere was somewhat glum. We have been travelling to Nelson Bay for quite a number of years and have always enjoyed our time there, but usually it has been in the summer time. The area and its beaches have always been very good and enjoyable.

    We loved the various beaches even though the weather was disappointing. There were plenty of seafood eateries...we chose one with water view. It was an easy place to drive around, with a great lookout showing the whole of Nelson Bay.

    Nelson Bay is one of my favourite destinations as I visit there once or twice every year. It has a shopping centre close by. Plenty of beaches to relax. Dolphin watching cruises are a regular occurrence. For the sporting types , there is a golf club, bowls club, tennis club, etc. Plenty of dining out choices.

    Right on the Nelson Bay harbour front was our cool accommodation, perched above the very popular Seabreeze Hotel. The nautical theme abounds in this stylishly renovated hotel, and our room boasted an expansive King bed with pretty park and harbour views 🌲⛵

    Fantastic property. Convenient to both Nelson Bay centre and Shoal Bay. Good sized balcony and lounge room. The heated pool was great. Perfect for my 4 year old. The mini putt putt was a fun extra to entertain the kids. Friendly staff. I’ll be back
