Beautiful apartment with plenty of space for a couple enjoying a weekend away. Great location, 5 minutes from Nelson Bay and easy to get to other stunning parts of Port Stephens. Debbie was a great host with the right amount of communication when needed. We left a jacket at the guest house and she was quick to post it over to our home address. Had a great stay.

Very tidy, clean and well equipped property. Everything you may need was provided and in good working order. We also liked the location, it is a beautiful stoll through Anzac Park to Shoal Beach and only a walk to the Shoalhaven shops and restaurants.

    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. 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.

    Given that we were travelling in winter and the weather was rainy, the atmosphere was somewhat glum. We have been travelling to Nelson Bay for quite a number of years and have always enjoyed our time there, but usually it has been in the summer time. The area and its beaches have always been very good and enjoyable.

    We loved the various beaches even though the weather was disappointing. There were plenty of seafood eateries...we chose one with water view. It was an easy place to drive around, with a great lookout showing the whole of Nelson Bay.

    The accommodation was perfect for our family trip. A well equipped kitchen and living room, comfortable beds, spacious bathroom and a good size balcony. Everything was very clean and well maintained. We stayed off-peak so there was ample onsite parking. Reception staff were very professional and welcoming. We had a very good dinner and drinks in the adjacent bowls club, just a short walk from the resort. The Nelson Bay area is beautiful. Wish we could have stayed longer.
