The omelette at Breakfast was the best I have ever had....the balance of flavours was astounding and unforgettable. Worth! The service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We were treated with so much kindness and we would 100% come back again and again. The pool area was my absolute favourite and a highlight! We didn't even have to leave the hotel as everything we needed was there. Do not think; JUST BOOK!

    We liked our villa, very comfortable, the camp kitchen was the best we have seen. The grounds and amenities were great, reception staff very friendly. We did not find anything to complain about. We had some great meals close to the holiday park. Easy walking to the shops in the Main Street .

    The location is perfect, across the road from the beach, walk to the pub and restaurants. Plus all the resort facilities are great. The shower over the bath in most of the rooms is very high to get in and out of, with no handle to hold on to!

    Overall shoal bay is a very relaxing place to stay, like most popular destinations it’s wise to book into into restaurants at popular times like summer I haven’t been up that way for a break for awhile and the fact that you have to pay to park in a lot of places when some of the streets are horrendous to drive on just doesn’t seem right, they want tourists to go to these destinations but aren’t giving them any incentives to do so

    Lots of nearby restaurants and clubs, beach just across the road, dolphins came to visit the wharf opposite on Saturday night making it extra special as they frolicked for the gawking crowds gathered on the new pier.

    Stayed here during Christmas/ New Year. The location was amazing. On the right, a short walk to Wests Nelson Bay Club. On the left, a short walk to Shoal Bay. The house is quite big actually, and looked exactly as it is displayed in the photos. Air Conditioner is Split from memory and not great. It was hot when we got there but once you open up there's a nice breeze, so it was fine. Pick up and hand back of the key in Nelson Bay was also a breeze.

    The multiple living locations around the house was great, it gave all our guests a space to chill and socialise in a busy house. The location to Zenith beach, Shoal bay beach, Country club and Mt Tomaree national park was excellent for quick escapes outside.
