Welcome to Lemon Tree Passage Motel – one of Port Stephens' best-kept secrets.

Just moments from the water and set against a peaceful garden backdrop, our newly renovated motel is where comfort, flexibility, and coastal charm come together. Whether you're visiting to unwind, explore, or reconnect with nature, our bayside location and modern upgrades make this the stay you’ve been searching for. The Motel is an exceptional gem. Room was spacious, clean and well appointed. All the necessities from bathroom, kitchenette and iron and ironing board, hangers and so much more are provided and everything was thoughtfully planned. Loved the out door space behind the room where you can sit and relax too. Jason was friendly and very nice and made the check in so seamless that we just made the payment through phone and just walked into the rooms. Truly amazing place and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a memorable experience.

The Admiral Nelson Motel is situated 500 metres from a range of dining options, and only 750 metres from the white sandy beaches and sparkling clear waters of Shoal Bay or Little Beach. It is a 10-minute walk to Nelson Bay Lighthouse. It’s not a new property but it was so clean ❤️ Staff was helpful. Amenities were more than we expected, such as toaster.
