Peninsula Nelson Bay Motel and Serviced Apartments, hotel in Nelson Bay

Centrally located between Nelson Bay Marina and Shoal Bay Beach, The Peninsula Nelson Bay offers 4-star AAA rated accommodation.

The location of this hotel/motel was fabulous. Pareking was easy and the hotel is an easy walk down the hill to part of shoal bay - so you dont have to battle parking in peek times. The hotel is slightly isolated from shops and other things going on - so you may need to buckly up as you will need to battle out for parking at some stage during yoru stay

The Poplars, Pool Access Getaway, hotel in Nelson Bay

Situated in Nelson Bay in the New South Wales region and Nelson Bay reachable within 600 metres, The Poplars, Pool Access Getaway features accommodation with free WiFi, barbecue facilities, a seasonal...

The fridge didn't work properly and we had brought a lot of meat between the four of us. However, communication with the owners was very positive and they reimbursed us $50 for the inconvenience of buying ice and borrowing an esky to keep the meat for the rest of our stay. They were very apologetic and obliging. I would recommend purely based on the nice nature of the owners. The King size bed was very comfortable, and the bunk beds too. The two couches were great for four adult guests. There were extra fold out chairs in the wardrobe if needed and the outdoor chairs were handy for the morning sun. There were ample supplies, and the BBQ was a real bonus.

    Great place with many activities to enjoy.

    Great place with many activities to enjoy. Quirky boutique shops and delicious food options, including Italian, pizza, pie shop, fish and chips, burgers, seafood and the lolly shop. Whale watching is lovely in the winter months. Beautiful walking tracks and views.

    The Bay is easy to get around and caters to all age demographics The shopping has some little gems, but for a serious shopper Newcastle is a short drive away Lots of calm beach’s for the not so confident in the surf or you are within a 15 minute drive to a surf beach.

    To comercial .

    To comercial . Local council likes to jam parking meters everywhere you go so they can milk money out you, this totally discourages stopping anywhere to visit local shops. The boat ramps even had metered parking , people would like to have an unlimited day out in their boat and not be concerned about how much it will cost. Disgusting greed.

    What a darling place to visit with friends!

    What a darling place to visit with friends! If you're looking for a quiet girls weekend/getaway there are multitudes of great restaurants and cafes, lots of homeware shopping and boutiques, and lots of massage and nail salons. So awesome, would go again in a heartbeat.

    The whole area is beautiful, with many beautiful beaches, waterways and National Parks. Whether you want to swim, bushwalk, bird watch, get into photography, go boating, dive, explore, whale or dolphin watch, visit nearby islands or just simply relax, Nelson Bay/ Port Stephens Area is awesome. It has Great places to dine, my favourites Sirenas Seaside at d'Albora Marina, The Deck at Soldiers Point and Bubs Seafood also at the marina. My last holiday there, I really needed to relax. I had 9 days of perfect weather, ocean swimming, beach and bush walking everyday. Getting pampered at Sirene Spa Shoal Bay everyday, either with massages or sauna and spa.

    Great selection of restaurants, cafes & bars within easy walking distance, particularly enjoyed Mavericks for the food, location overlooking the Marina and friendly staff. Large Woolworths to get all of your food for self-catering. Great local bus service to see the wider area plus ferry to Tea gardens and Dolphin cruises - what is not to like! The staff at the Tourist Information office were very helpful.

    This is a small older style motel that’s been given a thoughtful update. The room had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The location was perfect we could walk into Nelson Bay, out to Shoal Bay and the walk to Little Beach is very easy. The hotel management was very responsive and helpful. Great value for money.

    Right on the Nelson Bay harbour front was our cool accommodation, perched above the very popular Seabreeze Hotel. The nautical theme abounds in this stylishly renovated hotel, and our room boasted an expansive King bed with pretty park and harbour views 🌲⛵

    This property is in the perfect location being just a very short walk to Dutchies Beach in one direction and to Nelson Bay marina and the main street in the other direction. The property was clean and tidy and suitable for a family or 2 small families.
