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.AAnonymousAustralia - 10Scored 10

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.JulieAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0
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.AAnonymousAustralia - 10Scored 10
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.

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very goodRated very good· 2 reviewsWhat 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 :)
AnjaAustralia - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,548 reviewsThe staff were so welcoming, warm and helpful especially Martine! She made us feel at home, she was specially nice to our little girl! The hotel is old but its clean and has everything that you need. Our room was spacious and the toilet looks like it was recently renovated as it looks newer than the rest of the room. Plenty of parking space. The location is the best bit, just a couple of mins away from Nelson Bay and the shops in Marina.FinuliarAustralia
- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 1,548 reviewsWe chose the property based on location and the availability of 2 single beds and 1 queen bed which was perfect for our family who are both older children. The parking facilities onsite were also perfect as it was in the open and caters for higher vehicles like 4WD's or Utes that are higher than standard vehicles.
