    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.

    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.

    Absolutely loved the apartment, perfect size, very family friendly, clean and tidy, had everything we needed in the kitchen and laundry facilities, the kids loved swimming in the pool, close walk to Nelson Bay marina, shops, cafes and Duckies beach which is really kid friendly, relaxed and not too busy. The kids begged us to stay longer! Can’t wait to plan our next visit :) thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment to make memories with our children

    The hotel is in a great location only a short walk from the marina, shops and restaurants at Nelson Bay. Our room had a sea view from the balcony. Although the hotel is an older style place, it has been well cared for with and had an extremely comfortable bed and good facilities within the room. A little on the small size, the room is great value for a short stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The apartment was spacious, well-furnished and equipped. The balcony offered an excellent view of Nelson Bay. The position is also excellent, only a few minutes walk from shops and the beach. Can't ask for much more than that. The Internet clocked around 50 Mbps, which helped me get work done. Undercover and locked car park was great for leaving the car safe and away from the sun for a few days.

    My family went to Port Stephens 5 times, staying here for the first time. Very nice front desk staff. I booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children online. There was an error on the website, but the hotel was still perfect to help us solve the problem. The room is clean and tidy, and the location is very convenient for travel. I guess I will stay here next time.

    The house was extremely clean and tidy including bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was fully equipped including those little extras such as tea, coffee, sugar and Tim Tams. The house is in a good location in Nelson Bay located in a quiet suburban street and only 5 minutes by car to the town centre which had a Woolworths, many cafes and restaurants.

    Staff at check-in were friendly and helpful explaining the room and the resorts facilities. Located on Level 4 we had a great view across Nelson Bay and the water. The apartment was large and comfortable with everything provided. We would be happy to return to The Landmark.

    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.

    The location was very convenient and short drive to the centre on Nelson Bay. We had almost everything we needed in the house. The backyard was large and secure so that our puppy could enjoy running around unleashed.
