Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

    Nelson Bay is just great.

    Nelson Bay is just great. I dont live too far, in Newcastle, but we always had family trips to the bay for Christmas. And I want my son to have the same experiences I did when I was younger. It is just far away that it really does feel like we are on holidays somewhere alot further away. The shops, the cafes, the resturants, bars, everything is at your door step. Summer time is amazing, the bay has the most beautiful colours, everyone enjoying the sun. It is definitely 10/10

    Nelson Bay is amazing!

    Nelson Bay is amazing! It's THE DESTINATION if you enjoy peace, quiet and nature :) All the surroundings beaches are worth the visit too! I had few good meals over the weekend, but highlights include Essence Cafe and Taj Tandoori Indian. If you are fish and chips kind of person - Aussie fish and chips is the best! Parking in Nelson Bay is expensive, so best to park your car but out of the center for free parking.

    The marina was amazing and the people in the shops and restaurants were friendly and had suggestions for eating out. We found a lovely cafe for lunch and then enjoyed a delicious dinner at Buoys. In the morning, we had breakfast at a gorgeous cafe located in a home wares store. A few purchases were made here. There is paid parking in the main streets for one hour so moving the car was the only issue with spending more time shopping and exploring the town. In warmer weather we would explore the water activities. Worth the trip off the motorway for Nelson Bay when travelling between Brisbane and Sydney.

    Nelson Bay is so peaceful and friendly.

    Nelson Bay is so peaceful and friendly. We were just interested in relaxing for this stay. There is so much to do within a very small distance and Newcastle is less than an hour away. We returned from our stay totally refreshed. The Bowling Club have great meals and drinks.

    Staff were friendly and helpful even though I could see they were busy handling multiple things. They were clear with there instructions and where to park. In addition to two bedrooms upstairs, there was a spare bed in the downstairs part of the townhouse. The location is quite good and a short walk to the beach. You probably need to drive for food in Nelson Bay, however, it's not far to walk to the RSL club if you want to have dinner there.

    The place was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The view from the balcony was spectacular as you look out onto Nelson Bay. It's was a short walk to the centre of town so very convenient location. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Most places you go housekeeping kind of keep their heads down but here if they saw you they would make eye contact and greet you and strike up a conversation. It was very welcoming.

    Great quiet motel located close to both Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The room was a little dated but nice and clean, with housekeeping also attending daily. Television in both rooms, air conditioning was perfect and a large range of amenities for our stay was very much appreciated. The pool was lovely. We will definitely stay again!

    Kids loved the pool and how close everything was - a short stroll to town centre and marina or a short drive to the many lovely beaches of Nelson Bay. The stay was comfortable and had everything we needed for a family with two kids under 7. Recommended!
