    We regularly visited Shoal Bay in the 80’s and 90’s for family holidays. We recently returned after many years and love how it hasn’t been overdeveloped but really annoyed by the parking metres. $4.50 per hour to have a coffee or go for a swim or have lunch in a cafe is too expensive. Unfortunately I doubt if we will return

    The weather was uncertain but there were opportunities to appreciate the beauty of the bay and the views over Port Stephens. We took advantage of excellent take away from Giannis and mod Thai. The IGA was small but very useful. It was a good location for exploring Nelson Bay, Fingal Bay and Salamander, all worth a visit

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us.

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us. Been many times over the years and it never disappoints. My kids loved it and now the grandkids love the ease of getting to all amenities. The beach is just across the road. Shops within walking distance. Fresh air and wonderful selection is cafes and ice cream shops. The country club is our favourite place to get a great meal. We hired a canoe and paddled out to the beautiful turquoise waters. Can't explain it you have to experience it yourself.

    Love the coastal area.

    Love the coastal area. Minimal traffic, high rise and not over developed. Beautiful beaches with blue tranquil water. Definitely Not a surfing beach. White sand . Seems like a very safe area. Good places to eat. Try the Country Club for a great meal or afternoon cocktails . Also the Atmos Greek Restaurant was very nice. 5 mins drive to Little Bay Boathouse a great restaurant we lived. 10 minutes to the larger town of Nelson Bay if you want to shop, dine, or need anything. Also a wharf there with fresh seafood available.

    The 3 bedroom apartment was just beautiful. It was really clean and very spacious with lovely decor. The kitchen was large, modern and had everything needed to cook for a group. It had spacious bathrooms with bath and spa bath with lovely products. The best part was the huge balcony with expansive views of Shoal Bay with ocean, the town and the hinterland. There was space on the balcony to eat, use the outdoor furniture and cook a BBQ while watching the ocean or even the sunset in the west. We loved our time in this accommodation.

    The location is nice and quiet, right across from Shoal Bay beach. The shops and restaurants are so close and its a nice stroll to the headland and lookout. We had a problem with the internet and the host contacted us personally and resolved the issue. We would certainly stay here again 👍

    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.
