“We enjoyed our stay in Port Stephens. Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay Beach well worth the visit.”
Our accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The location of this motel was superb. A couple of minutes walk away from Nelson Bay Marina, shops and restaurants.

Very clean comfortable beds and owners were fantastic after we were locked out of the room for a short time. They organised a locksmith who arrived in under ten minutes. Great service

“Perfect for a night”
The ease of booking, location and support from staff. If you’re looking a for safe spot to rest, this is the place for you. Follow travelers (including fishing families were here when we stayed) also stay here- so be prepared for happy and friendly voices to complement your stay. We’d happily stay again for a night or two. Location was perfect along with the support from staff when we left something behind. Thank you again
