    Great getaway

    Great getaway Fantastic coffee, homewear stores and an opportunity to get a Thai massage right in Victoria Pde. Loved that restaurant on the corner of Victoria Pde and Dutchies Beach ⛱ Tomaree head 🚶‍♂️ walk/ hike never disappoints. Looking forward to coming back.

    Nelson Bay is just great.

    Nelson Bay is just great. I dont live too far, in Newcastle, but we always had family trips to the bay for Christmas. And I want my son to have the same experiences I did when I was younger. It is just far away that it really does feel like we are on holidays somewhere alot further away. The shops, the cafes, the resturants, bars, everything is at your door step. Summer time is amazing, the bay has the most beautiful colours, everyone enjoying the sun. It is definitely 10/10

    Nelson Bay is amazing!

    Nelson Bay is amazing! It's THE DESTINATION if you enjoy peace, quiet and nature :) All the surroundings beaches are worth the visit too! I had few good meals over the weekend, but highlights include Essence Cafe and Taj Tandoori Indian. If you are fish and chips kind of person - Aussie fish and chips is the best! Parking in Nelson Bay is expensive, so best to park your car but out of the center for free parking.

    The marina was amazing and the people in the shops and restaurants were friendly and had suggestions for eating out. We found a lovely cafe for lunch and then enjoyed a delicious dinner at Buoys. In the morning, we had breakfast at a gorgeous cafe located in a home wares store. A few purchases were made here. There is paid parking in the main streets for one hour so moving the car was the only issue with spending more time shopping and exploring the town. In warmer weather we would explore the water activities. Worth the trip off the motorway for Nelson Bay when travelling between Brisbane and Sydney.

    Nelson Bay is so peaceful and friendly.

    Nelson Bay is so peaceful and friendly. We were just interested in relaxing for this stay. There is so much to do within a very small distance and Newcastle is less than an hour away. We returned from our stay totally refreshed. The Bowling Club have great meals and drinks.

    Superb - What previous guests thought, 48 reviews
    We loved Ebony & Ivory villa and hope to stay again when we return to Nelson Bay. It is beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches that made our stay comfortable and easy. Beds are very comfy, linen and towels lovely and the location is good - a short walk to town or little beach and a short drive to Shoal Bay. Debbie is a wonderful host who is very accommodating and welcoming. Thanks for having us.

    The property was very close to the beach. It was a ground floor unit which was great for a family. The property was within walking distance to Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. Safe beach for young children with great amenities (toilets, BBQ’s, picnic tables) close to the beach.
