Beautiful apartment with plenty of space for a couple enjoying a weekend away. Great location, 5 minutes from Nelson Bay and easy to get to other stunning parts of Port Stephens. Debbie was a great host with the right amount of communication when needed. We left a jacket at the guest house and she was quick to post it over to our home address. Had a great stay.

Very tidy, clean and well equipped property. Everything you may need was provided and in good working order. We also liked the location, it is a beautiful stoll through Anzac Park to Shoal Beach and only a walk to the Shoalhaven shops and restaurants.

The property was well furnished with modern and up to date furniture. It was reasonably clean and tidy. As far as ocean views go, I had to stand on my tippy toes to see a glimpse of the ocean in the far distance. Had a beautiful breakfast at The little Nel, we highly recommend going there!

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 place was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The view from the balcony was spectacular as you look out onto Nelson Bay. It's was a short walk to the centre of town so very convenient location. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Most places you go housekeeping kind of keep their heads down but here if they saw you they would make eye contact and greet you and strike up a conversation. It was very welcoming.

Fantastic property. Convenient to both Nelson Bay centre and Shoal Bay. Good sized balcony and lounge room. The heated pool was great. Perfect for my 4 year old. The mini putt putt was a fun extra to entertain the kids. Friendly staff. I’ll be back
