    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.

    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 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.

    A good size room with easy walking to most food outlets and hotels. Ten per cent discount at adjoining restaurant on production of room key, where the food was good. Nelson Bay and surrounds are fantastic locations. We would stay at the Seabreeze again.
