    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.

    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.

    What a breathtaking view! We so enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and eating breakfast overlooking the bay, even in the rain, and falling asleep to the sound of waves. Being able to walk to the Little Beach Boathouse “Below Deck” and the Shoal Bay Country Club made the location perfect. Also being able to fit our family of 3 generations was fantastic. Kids room could (in theory) sleep 5 which is quite incredible! The apartment itself is older but it had everything we needed. We enjoyed ourselves and can recommend to others :)

    The location of the Venue was exceptional close to all amenities shops Marina and Beach walks. One we arrived we drove around such stunning views wish I had stayed longer. I had come mainly for my Nieces wedding at Murrays Brewery. Nelson's Bay is certainly a place to stay longer as it was very appealing.This was my first time at Nelson Bay Hotel Nelson. The bed was exceptional and the receptionist were very helpful Thank you for your hospitality

    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.

    The location was close to all the restaurants and Marina at Nelson Bay, just a short walk. The rooms (a hotel room) was very spacious and comfortable and had a little microwave and coffee facilities. The pool is beautiful start or end to the day and a great way to cool off. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful.

    Everything. The room was lovely. Location was great. The staff went out of their way to be kind, generous and understanding when we had to check out of the Nelson Towers property (down the road) 3 nights earlier than planned due to a very poor experience on the first night. I can’t recommend Oaks Nelson Bay more highly.

    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

    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

    the location is fantastic and while the property doesn’t look like much from the outside, it is quite comfortable inside. it is so convenient being able to walk over the road to the beach or into either Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay.
