Great location across the road from the beach, off street parking and restaurant nearby. Staff were very attentive and friendly and our room had a beach view with lots of dolphins sited from our balcony

Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us.
Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us. Been many times over the years and it never disappoints. My kids loved it and now the grandkids love the ease of getting to all amenities. The beach is just across the road. Shops within walking distance. Fresh air and wonderful selection is cafes and ice cream shops. The country club is our favourite place to get a great meal. We hired a canoe and paddled out to the beautiful turquoise waters. Can't explain it you have to experience it yourself.AAnonymous - 8.0Scored 8.0
Love the coastal area.
Love the coastal area. Minimal traffic, high rise and not over developed. Beautiful beaches with blue tranquil water. Definitely Not a surfing beach. White sand . Seems like a very safe area. Good places to eat. Try the Country Club for a great meal or afternoon cocktails . Also the Atmos Greek Restaurant was very nice. 5 mins drive to Little Bay Boathouse a great restaurant we lived. 10 minutes to the larger town of Nelson Bay if you want to shop, dine, or need anything. Also a wharf there with fresh seafood available.MariaAustralia - 10Scored 10

It was a beautiful place, what would be good is a place to hire beach chairs. I didn't go to beach cause I can't sit without chair.Transport to airport was great right out side door nearly and cheap, bus driver helped put cases on and off.Kelly - 10Scored 10
The shower head in the ensuite need improved.
The shower head in the ensuite need improved. Would be nice if proper bedside tables in the ensuite. Need some cereal bowls in the kitchen. The whole apartment is well equipped and well maintained. Nearby we visited Koala Santuary, Shark & Ray Encounters , Gan Gan lookout, Bob's farm Murray and nearby bay and beaches. Very nice scenery. I'm very pleased of the stay. Will book again.

- 8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 3 reviewsThe Living Area was large and having an outdoor grass area for the kids to run around was great. The location of the house was good, walking distance to Shoal Bay beach and shops, plus an easy walk over to Box & Wreck Beach (a bit more adventurous but worth the walk down to the beach). BBQ and Kitchen set up was good, plenty of cooking utensils and basic pantry items to get by. Plenty of on street parking. Lots of puzzles, books and games to play in case of a rainy day or for some quiet time.Birdman84Australia
- 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 6 reviewsThe location was central to many beaches (Box Beach, Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay) and the garden was lovely and well maintained. The air conditioning worked well and the bathrooms were clean and spacious. The bedrooms were also a good size. The property managers responded quickly when the hot water stopped working and rectified the problem within a few hours. The washing machine works well.JanelleAustralia
- From £108.05 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 2,813 reviewsLocation was excellent near shops, beach, and Tomaree National Park. We had an apartment with a sweeping view of Shoal Bay. There was a fridge, stove, coffee machine and kettle. It was handy having a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. Despite the crowd, we were occasionally able to enjoy the spa. The beach was just a few minutes walk away

Just cross the road to the most beautiful spot on the beach and a delicious cafe directly under the appartment complex where we ate every day!

- From £108.05 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 2,813 reviewsThe location at Shoal Bay is beautiful. There was a view but the kitchen overlooked it and the lounge had sofas that didn’t face the view. The outdoor area was mouldy and uneven so not inviting at all.
