    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.

    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.

    Maps took us to the golf club instead of the resort and reception did not answer so took awhile to find the hotel. The staff were only going to give me 1 car park for a 3 bedroom apartment and after I queried it they gave me another spot. Apart from that they were great. We were there for a funeral so although they wanted to offer information regarding Nelsons Bay we were not there for that

    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!

    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.
