    On the date I visited there was no one there, as in tourists. This is an area in which the locals find hard to suffer. It's a great place to visit but it's one of those places that have been impacted by outside interests. Ordinary folks like teachers or road workers can't afford to live here. Yet, when the tourists and 2nd or 3rd home owners come rolling in they expect the world on their plate. At Bannisters they promote Rick Stein. Rick is an English fish n chippy guy made famous by his exposure on the telly. Nothing speaks worse of a region that can't promote it's local values, people & places over a washed up fried fish chef from England... pretentious is what that amounts to.

    Great place with many activities to enjoy.

    Great place with many activities to enjoy. Quirky boutique shops and delicious food options, including Italian, pizza, pie shop, fish and chips, burgers, seafood and the lolly shop. Whale watching is lovely in the winter months. Beautiful walking tracks and views.

    The Bay is easy to get around and caters to all age demographics The shopping has some little gems, but for a serious shopper Newcastle is a short drive away Lots of calm beach’s for the not so confident in the surf or you are within a 15 minute drive to a surf beach.

    To comercial .

    To comercial . Local council likes to jam parking meters everywhere you go so they can milk money out you, this totally discourages stopping anywhere to visit local shops. The boat ramps even had metered parking , people would like to have an unlimited day out in their boat and not be concerned about how much it will cost. Disgusting greed.

    What a darling place to visit with friends!

    What a darling place to visit with friends! If you're looking for a quiet girls weekend/getaway there are multitudes of great restaurants and cafes, lots of homeware shopping and boutiques, and lots of massage and nail salons. So awesome, would go again in a heartbeat.

    The staff were so welcoming, warm and helpful especially Martine! She made us feel at home, she was specially nice to our little girl! The hotel is old but its clean and has everything that you need. Our room was spacious and the toilet looks like it was recently renovated as it looks newer than the rest of the room. Plenty of parking space. The location is the best bit, just a couple of mins away from Nelson Bay and the shops in Marina.

    This place is sensational, very comfortable and cozy. It feels like a totally different world within Port Stephens / Nelson Bay. My wife really enjoyed the treatment in Spa Lucca, staffs are friendly with nice varieties of breakfast choices. Very clean and nicely renovated rooms. An absolute first choice to just chill and relax in.

    The location was close to all the restaurants and Marina at Nelson Bay, just a short walk. The rooms (a hotel room) was very spacious and comfortable and had a little microwave and coffee facilities. The pool is beautiful start or end to the day and a great way to cool off. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful.

    Right on the Nelson Bay harbour front was our cool accommodation, perched above the very popular Seabreeze Hotel. The nautical theme abounds in this stylishly renovated hotel, and our room boasted an expansive King bed with pretty park and harbour views 🌲⛵
