    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.

    We recently stayed at "Hide Away at Nelson Bay" and had a fantastic time. The house is well-equipped, spacious and clean, and only a short drive from the beach and Tomaree Mountain. The cozy beds made for a comfortable night's sleep and we felt right at home during our stay. The hosts were friendly and although we haven't had the opportunity to interact much, they were always available to provide us with any information we needed and the instruction for the house were very clear and easy. Great place!

    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 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.

    location was excellent, we loved the apartment it was very clean, the family loved it at nelson bay. it was just a great visit as we were central to a lot of other locations. the sliding door was a worry to me as it would not lock, but a big thank you for fixing it for me . hope I will not be charge for the new lock. I would differently be recommending to my friends to stay at Bay Parklands.

    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!

    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.
