    The Bay is easy to get around and caters to all age demographics The shopping has some little gems, but for a serious shopper Newcastle is a short drive away Lots of calm beach’s for the not so confident in the surf or you are within a 15 minute drive to a surf beach.

    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! 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.

    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 place was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The view from the balcony was spectacular as you look out onto Nelson Bay. It's was a short walk to the centre of town so very convenient location. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Most places you go housekeeping kind of keep their heads down but here if they saw you they would make eye contact and greet you and strike up a conversation. It was very welcoming.

    We chose the property based on location and the availability of 2 single beds and 1 queen bed which was perfect for our family who are both older children. The parking facilities onsite were also perfect as it was in the open and caters for higher vehicles like 4WD's or Utes that are higher than standard vehicles.

    Proximity to Nelson Bay town centre and restaurants & to the coastal walk as well as Dutchman's Beach. Little Nel Cafe which is co-located with the Hotel serves great breakfasts and lunches . The hotel pool was clean and well maintained and a good alternative to the beach/sea

    This property is in the perfect location being just a very short walk to Dutchies Beach in one direction and to Nelson Bay marina and the main street in the other direction. The property was clean and tidy and suitable for a family or 2 small families.

    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!
