Fantastic location for exploring Port Stephens -- walking distance to eateries and supermarket. Clean room, ample parking lots. We booked the Deluxe King but I'm sure we received the Deluxe Suite, because there was a huge bathtub which we enjoyed using after a long but fun day at the beach :) We had a dolphin watch cruise the next morning, so we could easily walk to the marina without having to worry about parking.

All motels in Nelson Bay

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

The friendliness and it was very organized. The motel parking was very accessible, we found it straight away at night. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very warm in the middle of winter. The soap and shampoo and amenities were very nice also.

The location of this hotel/motel was fabulous. Pareking was easy and the hotel is an easy walk down the hill to part of shoal bay - so you dont have to battle parking in peek times. The hotel is slightly isolated from shops and other things going on - so you may need to buckly up as you will need to battle out for parking at some stage during yoru stay
