    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.

    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.

    I visit Nelson Bay regularly for the last 26 years.

    I visit Nelson Bay regularly for the last 26 years. It has become a very advanced tourist destination where people can find different options for entertainment and relaxation. The Port Stephens area in general, is beautiful and has many attractions, like dolphin and whale watching, game fishing or just recreational fishing from many good spots, sporting and adventure facilities and variety of accommodation for every budget. This time, I was more impressed by how green the area was, due to recent frequent rainfall.

    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!

    The size of the apartment is bigger than expected which was great for a large family, the location and the friendliness of the staff was amazing !!! It was close to everything . Shops are literally outside the door. The parking is undercover and secure. Elevators take you directly to your room. The pool was extremely clean and had plenty of seats and a BBQ to enjoy. The view was incredible! This is definitely the place to stay when visiting Nelson Bay

    This was an excellent townhouse for our family to have a small fun holiday after Christmas. Large spacious open-plan living and dining room. A great outdoor patio with BBQ. Easy walk to little beach. It's a twenty minute walk to Nelson Bay. Easy walk to Wests Diggers. This is a great spot for a holiday far away from the crazy crowds in the center or Nelson Bay.

    Fantastic motel! Rooms exceptionally clean with very comfy beds and linen. Rooms appear to have been recently decorated with a nice touch. Very helpful staff that even lent me a phone charger when I'd forgotten mine. Parked right in front of the room and motel perfectly positioned within walking distance of both shoal bay and Nelson bay.

    The hotel is located in the middle of Nelson Bay, close to supermarket (4 min walk for Woolworths), restaurant and bar. They have the parking in site, that it is an extra bonus. Room was big, clean and nice. The pool wasn't too big but comfortable and with the BBQ facility

    The oaks is located in the heart of Nelson Bay, so it's only a short walk to the main town centre. We loved the free parking underneath the hotel. The room was comfy and had a nice big bathroom.

    The location was OK just a 10 minute walk down into town where the shops and restaurants are. We didn’t eat at the hotel. The hotel needs a renovation of the beds were poor.
