    Great place with many activities to enjoy.

    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!

    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 property was well situated between Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Quiet suburban area with easy walks to beaches and the local Diggers RSL Club, with its above average portions, certainly value for money and friendly staff. The property itself was extremely clean and the living areas were spacious, equipped with a large bathroom and laundry as well as an open plan kitchen and lovely balcony and indoor entertaining area perfect for a family or couple to sit and enjoy at the end of a long day at the beach.

    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.

    This is a small older style motel that’s been given a thoughtful update. The room had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The location was perfect we could walk into Nelson Bay, out to Shoal Bay and the walk to Little Beach is very easy. The hotel management was very responsive and helpful. Great value for money.

    Fantastic property. Convenient to both Nelson Bay centre and Shoal Bay. Good sized balcony and lounge room. The heated pool was great. Perfect for my 4 year old. The mini putt putt was a fun extra to entertain the kids. Friendly staff. I’ll be back
