Really enjoyed our stay in Nelson Bay, the studio was so nice with everything we needed. Debbie was so helpful throughout and provided recommendations for the nicest restaurant. The bed was so comfy! Would definitely recommend staying here close walk to beach and restaurants/shops.

Location was perfect - on a slight incline so you had a good view of the bay. Also close to the reserve so you could hear the wildlife and birds nearby

Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

Nelson's bay is a beautiful location to relax anjoy the water . Great for all ages with plenty of options - boating, swimming , snorkelling , walking and socialising at cafes. Highly reccommend going on a dophin cruise as its great way to not only see the dophins but to see the harbour and surrounds, also good for solo travellers to enjoy.

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.

This was an excellent townhouse for our family to have a small fun holiday after Christmas. Large spacious open-plan living and dining room. A great outdoor patio with BBQ. Easy walk to little beach. It's a twenty minute walk to Nelson Bay. Easy walk to Wests Diggers. This is a great spot for a holiday far away from the crazy crowds in the center or Nelson Bay.
