Apartments are privately owned but managed by the resort. Lagoon pool is huge and you can access from the balcony. Opposite is a large shopping centre with fast food and supermarkets. Only restaurant in close proximity is in the resort if you like pizza. Buses run front the door to Nelson Bay. We fly but would probably come by car next time.

The location is close to attractions, it's walking distance to a shopping centre that has everything you need. Everywhere we went people where friendly. Third time staying here and would go back to this area again.

Salamander Bay is a great location to unwind and have a short break from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. You can choose to go to the beach or drive a few kilometers for other outdoor activities. The sand dunes and camel ride activities are just a short distance drive. The Oaks Port Stephen Pacific Blue Resort is one of my most highly recommended accommodation, with great location and amenities.

Amazing property. Big enough for 10 ppl.
Appliances all great. Absolute waterfront. No more than 20 steps away from water.
Salamander hotel has a curtesy bus. We had dinner there, food was great, entertainment was good.
Next time we will visit more local areas, we just didn’t want to leave the amazing property.

Pool, restaurant, accommodation, staff, cleanliness - excellent.
Have stayed a number of times before and will definitely stay again. Great family holiday in warm weather .
Children even swam in pool in pouring rain .
Would have liked the Villa (508) to have had more utensils in the kitchen .
Cutting board, mop, vacuum, sharper knives, baking trays .

We went to lot of activities, camel ride , shark and ray was a gem , we able to get in the water to pat and feed the sharks and sting ray, it was fun for whole family. Dolphin cruise dolphins just swim next to your boat . Sand boarding .
We went to butterfly house, it was a huge disappointed. Over priced with poor condition. Not treating animals right , if you planning to visit , DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Having a kitchen with a stovetop and the oven was great as well as a washing machine and dryer facilities inside. The pool is just outside the room meaning no need to walk far to get to it. The parking was free and it was only a small walk to your room and back. I do recommend an apartment room with a swim out as it is the nicest option if you plan on staying at the resort most of the time. Internet access was great to have too. The room was spacious and the en-suite bathroom was big with a spa bath which was a luxurious touch.
The hotel complex was fantastic. We received a complimentary upgrade on our room and it was lovely and spacious. The pools, spa pool and sauna were a great addition.
The staff were the selling point of the fantastic hotel. The reception team were very helpful and the team working in the restaurant/ bar were so friendly and chatty, it was a joy to go down there every day.
The place was very clean, the hosts were very friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was very nice, the place is spacious, the toilet is extra clean, the location is very handy, the coffee machine was perfect, the bed sheets were 5 stars hotel style and the most important thing to me was giving attention to details and that's what makes this place very special
- The location is really nice, very close to the Salamander square shopping centre
- The main attraction of the hotel - the pool - is really nice.
- We had booked the "on the swimming pool" 1 bedroom apartment (straight access to the pool from the room itself) and it was really nice , comfortable and clean. No problems there.
The location at Salamander Bay Horizons Golf course is fantastic, close to water, shops and our friends. Peaceful location, quiet, until our kids were playing outside 😉 Unit very clean and well appointed, 8 beds plus a fold out sofa and spare mattresses! Comfortable space to relax and share time with friends and family
We love the direct access to the large swimming pool from the room. Peaceful location and good restaurant in the premises. Short drive anywhere in Nelson Bay area. Nearby Shopping centre is also great (100metres) .
Very comfortable bed and small kitchenette.
The location is ideal, quiet and relaxing with an unbeatable outlook against the golf course. The property is in close proximity to Salamander Bay Shopping Centre, short drive into Nelson Bay, and short drive to Soldiers Point, giving you many options.
It is a wonderful resort in Port Stephens with the largest pool on the Southern Hemisphere. The rooms were big, comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The heated private plunge pool was fantastic.
Location on beach front and Salamander Bay shopping was excellent. 2 large living spaces with Netflix and Foxtel on both TVs. Air Cond works really well. Lovely art work throughout.
The apartment and hotel were both fantastic, we’ve stayed in other rooms at this hotel before and we always love it but having the private pool was a massive hit with the kids.
We love the blue oaks as a great location close to local shopping centre in Salamander Bay and 10 mins drive to marina.
Value for money at the moment as off peak rates.
