Receptionist was lovely and informative. Comfy bed and air con. Shower pressure is a little low but all you need. Walking distance from the shops and the wharf. All the surrounding beaches are about a 10min drive. Supplied bath essentials (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizer) which was good after the beach. As for good cafe’s go to the little Nell or the Longboat cafe.
If you want a Fancy/expensive dinner go to the little beach boathouse short distance drive and delicious.
Have been coming to Nelson Bay regularly for over 30 years.

On the date I visited there was no one there, as in tourists. This is an area in which the locals find hard to suffer. It's a great place to visit but it's one of those places that have been impacted by outside interests. Ordinary folks like teachers or road workers can't afford to live here. Yet, when the tourists and 2nd or 3rd home owners come rolling in they expect the world on their plate.
At Bannisters they promote Rick Stein. Rick is an English fish n chippy guy made famous by his exposure on the telly. Nothing speaks worse of a region that can't promote it's local values, people & places over a washed up fried fish chef from England... pretentious is what that amounts to.

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 size of the apartment is bigger than expected which was great for a large family, the location and the friendliness of the staff was amazing !!! It was close to everything . Shops are literally outside the door. The parking is undercover and secure. Elevators take you directly to your room. The pool was extremely clean and had plenty of seats and a BBQ to enjoy. The view was incredible! This is definitely the place to stay when visiting Nelson Bay
Fantastic location 1 min from Nelson Bay shops, very comfy beds, in room spa bath fit two people, great views, ample free parking. You can order room service to skip waiting in the queue for Little Nel (the best cafe in Nelson Bay) which is located on ground floor of the hotel.
Although there is limited storage space we managed. We have been here about 3 or 4 times and we like the premises. We have also stayed in Nelson Bay and at other more expensive ones but feel that this is fine. It is also close to Shoal Bay, Fingal Bay and Nelson Bay.
