The location was ideal. The unit exceeded our expectations. Ideal for a family breakout with facilities at hand.
Great place with many activities to enjoy. Quirky boutique shops and delicious food options, including Italian, pizza, pie shop, fish and chips, burgers, seafood and the lolly shop. Whale watching is lovely in the winter months. Beautiful walking tracks and views.

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! 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.
Great facilities for little ones. Loved the free kids putt putt and the pool area (with built-in wading pool for kids) was kept really tidy especially considering the constant weather changes. The apartment was very clean and tidy plus had everything needed for a family stay-in. It offered lots of privacy from others staying there without feeling like you were detached at all from the facilities within the complex.
The host Daniel was very communicative and it was easy access to get in with the key box. The host texted me on the day of entry the the pin number again. Daniel the host was very friendly, the place was exceptionally clean, basic and very easy to have your pet there, it was fully fenced. The street is quiet. You are within a minute to the beach in Nelson Bay and within 10 minutes to Shoal Bay.
We had a house in Nelson Bay for ten years so visited regularly from Sydney and very familiar with the area and the hotel. Haven't visited since we sold in 2012. So most impressed with the hotel renovations. Staff were great. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Restaurant full on a Thursday night out of holiday season - says it all!
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.
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
This hotel was in the perfect location to explore Nelson Bay waterfront and the centre of town which were within immediate walking distance, The room was very comfortable and the extras (snacks, drinks and shopping bag) were a very welcome suprise.
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!
We highly recommend the townhouse as a place to stay. It is large, spacious and clean with comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk to Nelson Bay beach from the accommodation. We would love to stay here again!
Amazing location, and everything we needed for a stay in Nelson Bay. Clean, great air conditioning and comfortable beds. Shoal bay beach was a 5 minute walk away and was absolutely stunning. We would love to stay again.
The position was great! Very close to the center of Nelson Bay and the amenities.
The apartment was very spacious and confortable. The swimming pool open until late. I will recommend it to my friends and family.
We had 3 x rooms, 2 x family 2 bedrooms and 1 hotel room
Whilst the family rooms were good, well lit and spacious. The pool area is good and clean. The water is a tad colder than what you'd want.
We stayed in 3 bedroom unit 38. Well furnished and presented unit. Quite location and still close to town centre. Pool was good. Spacious and comfortable for a family of 6 people. Highly recommend.
Spacious room, clean & tidy with a good view, it warmed up quickly and the hotel is not far from the town centre. Parking on site was nice and the facilities were well maintained.
Bed was very comfortable. Shower was perfect and the room was warm. The Hotel was in close proximity of the Shoal Bay Fisherman's Club where the party was.
