    The weather was uncertain but there were opportunities to appreciate the beauty of the bay and the views over Port Stephens. We took advantage of excellent take away from Giannis and mod Thai. The IGA was small but very useful. It was a good location for exploring Nelson Bay, Fingal Bay and Salamander, all worth a visit

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us.

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us. Been many times over the years and it never disappoints. My kids loved it and now the grandkids love the ease of getting to all amenities. The beach is just across the road. Shops within walking distance. Fresh air and wonderful selection is cafes and ice cream shops. The country club is our favourite place to get a great meal. We hired a canoe and paddled out to the beautiful turquoise waters. Can't explain it you have to experience it yourself.

    Love the coastal area.

    Love the coastal area. Minimal traffic, high rise and not over developed. Beautiful beaches with blue tranquil water. Definitely Not a surfing beach. White sand . Seems like a very safe area. Good places to eat. Try the Country Club for a great meal or afternoon cocktails . Also the Atmos Greek Restaurant was very nice. 5 mins drive to Little Bay Boathouse a great restaurant we lived. 10 minutes to the larger town of Nelson Bay if you want to shop, dine, or need anything. Also a wharf there with fresh seafood available.

    It was a beautiful place, what would be good is a place to hire beach chairs. I didn't go to beach cause I can't sit without chair.Transport to airport was great right out side door nearly and cheap, bus driver helped put cases on and off.

    The Living Area was large and having an outdoor grass area for the kids to run around was great. The location of the house was good, walking distance to Shoal Bay beach and shops, plus an easy walk over to Box & Wreck Beach (a bit more adventurous but worth the walk down to the beach). BBQ and Kitchen set up was good, plenty of cooking utensils and basic pantry items to get by. Plenty of on street parking. Lots of puzzles, books and games to play in case of a rainy day or for some quiet time.

    The apartment was gorgeous, comfortable and well equipped. The view was spectacular and wonderful to wake up to. Location was also very convenient, plenty of restaurants in the area and few steps away from the beach. Mount Tomaree is also just a walking distance away.

    Loved the villa, felt cost and comfortable. Ideal for family vacation. The location was superb; as it is situated at Shoal Bay, close to the beach, nearby hikes and restaurants. We had a great time at the villa as a family. Very glad that we came here…
