I really enjoyed my stay at the Marina Resort. The location is excellent, with beautiful views and easy access to the marina and surrounding areas. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made the stay very relaxing. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made a big difference. The overall atmosphere of the resort was calm and enjoyable, and I appreciated how peaceful it felt throughout my stay. I would happily stay here again and would recommend the Marina Resort to others looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

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.

Dinner at the bowling club was exceptional as was dinner at Rick Steins Bannisters Soilders Point Golf at Horizons was also a great experience Cafes for breakfast were a tad overpriced Council has overdone the parking meters, ridiculous , plan should be to encourage tourist to visit not slam them at every opportunity.

There are many areas worth a visit. Tomaree Headland walk.

There are many areas worth a visit. Tomaree Headland walk. Fingal Bay with a walk over the spit is a favourite. Also love Shoal Bay shops and cafes. We especially enjoy sunrise at One Mile Beach followed by a delicious breakfast at the cafe.

Pretty place to visit.

Pretty place to visit. Our hotel was very close to the marina. Beautiful beaches surround Nelson Bay. Car parking is relatively easy. There are a few places to eat. We ate Italian and Chinese food in two local restaurants. There are a small variety of shops for essential needs including a chemist. The marina was close to the town and offered boat trips to see dolphins. Jet ski hire and fishing were also available from the harbour.

Many local beaches to visit. The lighthouse at Little Beach was wonderful. Lots of boat trips and the sailing regatta on at this time and was a real spectacle. Information centre was both friendly and very helpful.

Nelson Bay is a lovely spot to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Port Stephens area. We found good dining options limited in the d' Albora marina area. Magnolia cafe serve a great poke bowl. The quality of restaurants and dining was much better in Shoal Bay. We loved the options available at Shoal Bay Country Club.Book ahead. We enjoyed a Dolphin Discovery cruise with Moonshadow and walking along a few of the scenic walks to Dutchies beach, Gan Gan lookout and Tomaree Head. The best ice cream was at Scoop and Roll in Shoal Bay!

It was convenient with a choice of restaurants and several beaches. not a lot to do if weather poor, good for deep sea fishing if you like that thing. Cruises around the inlet were good. Australian beaches seem to provide no shade unless you bring your own. People friendly and tourist office very helpful. Nelson Bay is fine, not particularly our scene but we are sure would suit others including families.

The property is centrally located and an easy walk to the marina at Nelson Bay with. Woolworths, cafes, restaurants, and shops very close by. Shoal Bay is a short drive along from Nelson Bay. Staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful, providing extra kitchen supplies when needed. We stayed in a renovated executive apartment which had a view of the water and our kids absolutely loved the pool, they were in it every day. Recommend the Nelson Way restaurant below the hotel and also the golf club next door for dinner.

The cabins we were staying in are super close to the beach access. They’re spacious and had everything we needed. The park is in a great location, a short walk to both beaches on either side and the boathouse restaurant up the road which was amazing. Very central and close to Nelson bay centre and shoal bay.
