Beautiful property, cozy and tastefully decorated, wonderful views of the golf course, well equipped with all the necessities to enjoy a nice break! Our doggie enjoyed looking at the wallabies and walking and sniffing around the property common areas, we stayed off the green as we don’t play and not sure if its allowed to walk around specially with our dog, however the common areas around the main street and along the entrance to the property are very beautiful, also we discovered a walking trail at the bush behind the golf course, so that was more than enough for us. Super enjoyable stay and would love to go back.

Pool was amazing but cold I guess to be expected, would only be good on hot days in summer
Spa needed to be warmer and staff needed to monitor parents allowing children to ignore rules splashing and kicking turning on and off constantly (button needs to be higher so children can not access), putting heads under water. One child under 2yrs went under water a near drowning parent was standing above them watching other children in the other pool unsupervised. Strict instructions need to be given at check in for families with young children.
Anchorage Port Stephens offers a luxury accommodations experience, nestled by the white sands of the beautiful port.

Excellent. I will choose again next time I visit Nelson Bay.
Apartments are privately owned but managed by the resort.
Apartments are privately owned but managed by the resort. Lagoon pool is huge and you can access from the balcony. Opposite is a large shopping centre with fast food and supermarkets. Only restaurant in close proximity is in the resort if you like pizza. Buses run front the door to Nelson Bay. We fly but would probably come by car next time.

Salamander Bay is a great location to unwind and have a short break from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. You can choose to go to the beach or drive a few kilometers for other outdoor activities. The sand dunes and camel ride activities are just a short distance drive. The Oaks Port Stephen Pacific Blue Resort is one of my most highly recommended accommodation, with great location and amenities.

Appliances all great. Absolute waterfront. No more than 20 steps away from water.
Salamander hotel has a curtesy bus. We had dinner there, food was great, entertainment was good.
Next time we will visit more local areas, we just didn’t want to leave the amazing property.

Children even swam in pool in pouring rain .
Would have liked the Villa (508) to have had more utensils in the kitchen .
Cutting board, mop, vacuum, sharper knives, baking trays .

We went to lot of activities, camel ride , shark and ray was a gem , we able to get in the water to pat and feed the sharks and sting ray, it was fun for whole family. Dolphin cruise dolphins just swim next to your boat . Sand boarding .
We went to butterfly house, it was a huge disappointed. Over priced with poor condition. Not treating animals right , if you planning to visit , DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Exceptional place – Delightful people – Gorgeous stay
We spent a great time in Salamander Bay Bed & Breakfast.
Located in a beautiful and quiet property, the room itself is spacious, comfortable, very clean with very nice original decorations and equipped with everything we could possibly need.
The hosts, Merilyn & Bruce, are easy style people, not intrusive at all and very attentive and helpful in advising places to visit and eat out.
We really enjoyed this place that we very highly recommend.
Bedrooms and plunge pool and the whole apartment had a generous size. We were with other group of friends who were in 2 separate apartments and we still got to share dinner with them. The resort had one of the best locations which was also close to amenities, the beach area and some other outdoor activities that you can go to. My husband really enjoyed his lap swimming at it was a heated pool. The kids were just a bit disappointed as the main pool was closed for renovation.
Love the swimout room, easy access to the pool without having to walk around the resort. Pool secured well from the balcony so didn't have to worry about kids getting into the pool. Pool was a great depth for toddlers and Room was a great size. Basic kitchen for what you need on holidays. The restaurant at the hotel is great and easy access. Walking distance to Salamander Bay shopping centre to stock up at Woolies. 5-10 minute drive to Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay.
The hotel complex was fantastic. We received a complimentary upgrade on our room and it was lovely and spacious. The pools, spa pool and sauna were a great addition.
The staff were the selling point of the fantastic hotel. The reception team were very helpful and the team working in the restaurant/ bar were so friendly and chatty, it was a joy to go down there every day.
The place was very clean, the hosts were very friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was very nice, the place is spacious, the toilet is extra clean, the location is very handy, the coffee machine was perfect, the bed sheets were 5 stars hotel style and the most important thing to me was giving attention to details and that's what makes this place very special
- The location is really nice, very close to the Salamander square shopping centre
- The main attraction of the hotel - the pool - is really nice.
- We had booked the "on the swimming pool" 1 bedroom apartment (straight access to the pool from the room itself) and it was really nice , comfortable and clean. No problems there.
The location at Salamander Bay Horizons Golf course is fantastic, close to water, shops and our friends. Peaceful location, quiet, until our kids were playing outside 😉 Unit very clean and well appointed, 8 beds plus a fold out sofa and spare mattresses! Comfortable space to relax and share time with friends and family
The pool was fantastic. We had a swim-out room which had a gate opening directly to the pool. The restaurant, Laguna Blu, had a good range on the menu and was reasonably priced. The shops were across the road and the bay was only a 5 minute walk away. Nelson Bay was only a 3 minute drive, but Salamander bay was lovely.
Great having two rooms, next to each other. Didn’t get to use the swimming facilities. They looked amazing. Quiet location, near to major shopping centre. Great dinner at the Salamander Hotel close by. Rooms all face onto the lagoon pool. Gated resort with parking.
We love the direct access to the large swimming pool from the room. Peaceful location and good restaurant in the premises. Short drive anywhere in Nelson Bay area. Nearby Shopping centre is also great (100metres) .
Very comfortable bed and small kitchenette.
The location is ideal, quiet and relaxing with an unbeatable outlook against the golf course. The property is in close proximity to Salamander Bay Shopping Centre, short drive into Nelson Bay, and short drive to Soldiers Point, giving you many options.
It is a wonderful resort in Port Stephens with the largest pool on the Southern Hemisphere. The rooms were big, comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The heated private plunge pool was fantastic.
Location on beach front and Salamander Bay shopping was excellent. 2 large living spaces with Netflix and Foxtel on both TVs. Air Cond works really well. Lovely art work throughout.
The apartment and hotel were both fantastic, we’ve stayed in other rooms at this hotel before and we always love it but having the private pool was a massive hit with the kids.
