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.
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.
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.
The room was spacious and clean, with everything we could need. Situated 1.5km from both Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay, meant that we didn't have far to go wherever we wanted to be. Not right on the beach, but not a long walk, and there is a pool for summer months. Room tidied every morning.
Fantastic house, very clean, nice view, lots of attention to details: some treats left, enough towels, all kitchen items that you might need, even table soccer which my family loved play so much. It is in a great quiet location. Beds are comfortable and everything is really clean.
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!
We like the location and the price, the property is set between Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay - both within easy walking distance. Room was comfortable with the necessities that we needed. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and welcoming.
We highly recommend the townhouse as a place to stay. It is large, spacious and clean with comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay and were able to walk to Nelson Bay beach from the accommodation. We would love to stay here again!
Location, room and the bed were very good. The room included a lounge area and a small kitchen with lots of appliances. We did enjoy our stay and the hotel was close to town and the Nelson Bay boat harbour.
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.
Pet friendly, close to the beach and Nelson Bay city centre. Comfortable, beautifully furnished and well equiped! Enjoyed all the small added touches! Thank you! lovely place for a family to stay!
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.
Spacious room, clean & tidy with a good view, it warmed up quickly and the hotel is not far from the town centre. Parking on site was nice and the facilities were well maintained.
