The location was ideal. The unit exceeded our expectations. Ideal for a family breakout with facilities at hand.
Great place with many activities to enjoy. Quirky boutique shops and delicious food options, including Italian, pizza, pie shop, fish and chips, burgers, seafood and the lolly shop. Whale watching is lovely in the winter months. Beautiful walking tracks and views.

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.
The staff were so welcoming, warm and helpful especially Martine! She made us feel at home, she was specially nice to our little girl!
The hotel is old but its clean and has everything that you need. Our room was spacious and the toilet looks like it was recently renovated as it looks newer than the rest of the room. Plenty of parking space. The location is the best bit, just a couple of mins away from Nelson Bay and the shops in Marina.
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.
Great hotel in a great location walking distance into Nelson bay. The layout of our room was fantastic for our stay with our baby as the bedroom was separate and blockout curtains in the living area allowed him to sleep well in the living area. Kitchen facilities were great. Spa bath was lovely. Pool area is great. Restaurant is nice. I would stay here again.
LOVED THE LOCATION. WALKING DISTANCE FROM RESTAURANTS SHOPS AND ALL AMENTITIES IN NELSON BAY. WE WERE UPGRADED TO AN APARTMENT OVERLOOKING THE BAY WHICH WE DID NOT EXPECT BUT APPRECIATED. HAD BREAKFAST AT THE NEL CAFE ONSITE WHICH WAS EXCELLENT. GREAT STAFF IN BOTH THE HOTEL AND CAFE EAGER TO PLEASE. WE WILL RETURN.
Perfect stay in Nelson Bay on our recent Australia trip. The accommodation was clean, spacious, homely and felt safe/secure which is important for the family. Would highly recommend and if we were fortunate enough to come back to the area we would choose this accommodation again. Thank you
Kids loved the pool and how close everything was - a short stroll to town centre and marina or a short drive to the many lovely beaches of Nelson Bay. The stay was comfortable and had everything we needed for a family with two kids under 7. Recommended!
Location. I have been to Nelson Bay quite a few time's and have always wanted to stay in these apartments. It is definitely a great location down one level n you are in the central part of town. Parking is great you can come and go as you please.
Great location away from the busy areas, walking distance to beach. Quiet peaceful location surrounded by nature. Quick drive to Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay and discovered Boat Harbour and sat and watched the whales and dolphins.
Location was awesome . Walk to beach and just few minutes drive to Shoal bay or Nelson bay.Lotsbof option of park and kids friendly beach near the location.Lots of restaurants available just a five minutes drive.
Really comfortable with good facilities. Staff were helpful. Really clean - can see that a lot of effort is put into upkeep. Great location close to little Beach and all the activities in Nelson Bay.
Spacious. Aircon in all rooms plus fans in bedroom. Short drive to everywhere. Only 5-minute drive to Fingal Bay (surf) beach, Mt Tomaree Head Summit Walk and Nelson Bay Lighthouse/Museum/Tea house.
We stayed in 3 bedroom unit 38. Well furnished and presented unit. Quite location and still close to town centre. Pool was good. Spacious and comfortable for a family of 6 people. Highly recommend.
Location was great, close to both Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. The layout of the property is great with a large kitchen, dining and outdoor area. Beds and lounges were comfortable also.
Cozy little house. Everything is brand new, clean, comfortable and all that you need for a family holiday. Close to the beach. Friendly and helpful owner, quick respondent.
