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.

I visit Nelson Bay regularly for the last 26 years.
I visit Nelson Bay regularly for the last 26 years. It has become a very advanced tourist destination where people can find different options for entertainment and relaxation. The Port Stephens area in general, is beautiful and has many attractions, like dolphin and whale watching, game fishing or just recreational fishing from many good spots, sporting and adventure facilities and variety of accommodation for every budget. This time, I was more impressed by how green the area was, due to recent frequent rainfall.

Nelson Bay is a truly beautiful spot.
Nelson Bay is a truly beautiful spot. Some views must be among the most beautiful in the world. It is great for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking .... walking, cycling .... There are dolphin and whale watching tours and many other activities. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from, some right on the water's edge.
What a breathtaking view! We so enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and eating breakfast overlooking the bay, even in the rain, and falling asleep to the sound of waves. Being able to walk to the Little Beach Boathouse “Below Deck” and the Shoal Bay Country Club made the location perfect. Also being able to fit our family of 3 generations was fantastic. Kids room could (in theory) sleep 5 which is quite incredible! The apartment itself is older but it had everything we needed. We enjoyed ourselves and can recommend to others :)
Lovely big house, nice spacious living areas. Short drive to several beaches and town.
Our favorite calm water beach was Shoal Bay, perfect for swimming, clean and relaxed feel.
Very quiet street and neighborhood. Big yard for cooking bbq, bbq equipment supplied. Comfortably sleeps 8 in 4 rooms. Downstairs can be used for 2 snorers or young family. Nice view of mountains, trees, ocean from the front. Front & back verandah good for relaxing and enjoying views. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you would need.
The house was spacious and comfortable. The hosts, Brian and Sue and our stay was beyond our expectations. Brian and Sue’s knowledge of the local area was exceptional. Couldn’t ask for better hosts. I will definitely be back to stay here with my family again and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking for a stay with all those extra little things which make your time away truly memorable.
the 2 bedroom apartment was huge and clean, my daughter felt at home instantly. our bedroom even had views of the water. the room was also very quiet, the bedding was very comfy. the kitchen was fully equipped. location was great, only a few mins walk to the town centre and the marina. Dutchman's Bay beach was also very accessible from the hotel. Leanne from reception was very friendly!
The location was close to all the restaurants and Marina at Nelson Bay, just a short walk. The rooms (a hotel room) was very spacious and comfortable and had a little microwave and coffee facilities. The pool is beautiful start or end to the day and a great way to cool off.
The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful.
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.
Perfect stay in Nelson Bay on our recent Australia trip. The accommodation was clean, spacious, homely and felt safe/secure which is important for the family. Would highly recommend and if we were fortunate enough to come back to the area we would choose this accommodation again. Thank you
The room was very spacious. The bathroom was also a good size and for once had more than adequate lighting. Its not a brand new hotel but had a vaguely "old world" charm. Everything was spotlessly clean. The location is good although a short climb from Nelson Bay and the marina.
the location is fantastic and while the property doesn’t look like much from the outside, it is quite comfortable inside. it is so convenient being able to walk over the road to the beach or into either Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay.
everything. Great location and comfortable bed. The heated pool was very inviting and I am sorry that I never used it more, but due to the location we took the ferry to Tea Gardens and enjoyed the local Nelson Bay offerings.
Spacious. Aircon in all rooms plus fans in bedroom. Short drive to everywhere. Only 5-minute drive to Fingal Bay (surf) beach, Mt Tomaree Head Summit Walk and Nelson Bay Lighthouse/Museum/Tea house.
The location was sublime, you just need to cross the road and you are on the beach. Stunning sunsets too. Nelson Bay town centre is only a short stroll away.
