    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.

    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

    The house was perfect and most importantly really clean and well kept. Also great location, only a few minutes drive to Little beach and Nelson Bay shops. The games room was great for the kids, it kept them entertained. It was an amazing stay, we didn't want to leave. We'll be back again for sure.

    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.

    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 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.
