    We stayed in the Fairy House. Spacious, comfortable bed, comfy love seat sized couch, fireplace, exterior spa room that we didn’t use, and kitchenette. Right across the street is a public walkway to a path leading to great beaches all along the Bay.

    Quirky little stay with quiet outlook, comfy seating, great bed, big shower and a little verandah to have some bubbles before walking to Town Centre for Dinner.

I have lived in Nelson Bay for the past 20 years having left Sydney for a Sea change. I enjoy bike riding, walking and spending time on the water. My favourite holiday destination is Bali.
Thurlow Ave is a short stroll to beautiful Dutchies Beach which is a safe swimming area. There is a lovey grassed area with BBQ facilities. You can take a walk on the waterfront pathway into Nelson Bay CBD and Marina which usually takes 15 minutes. It is also a great spot to ride your bike.
