The Yak and Yeti offers dinner 6 nights a week . The Yak & Yeti is fully licensed ( no BYO) . Ours was an overnight stay to enable my wife, daughter and self to take part, at a local Church, in a family funeral. After hours arrival was excellently covered and departure was swiftly handled with a smile. A very pleasant experience, considering the circumstances.

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. The room came with a power board and an extension cord that allowed me to work comfortably in the room and they were very accommodating when I requested an extended checkout.

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Nelson Bay Wharf, Seabreeze Hotel features a restaurant and bar with a sunny patio. It offers air-conditioned rooms with free parking.

Hotel Seabreeze is located in the heart of Nelson Bay, 3 minutes’ walk from a number of shops and restaurants. Port Stephens Visitor Centre is just 150 metres away. Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

Complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, the rooms at Nelson Palms have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and certain rooms are equipped with a terrace. All units will provide guests with a fridge. What a gem of a motel! The owners definitely took some time and care in renovating the place. It was spotlessly clean and the staff was so friendly. We had a tough time leaving and oils love to return.
