The property was well furnished with modern and up to date furniture. It was reasonably clean and tidy. As far as ocean views go, I had to stand on my tippy toes to see a glimpse of the ocean in the far distance. Had a beautiful breakfast at The little Nel, we highly recommend going there!

Great getaway

Great getaway Fantastic coffee, homewear stores and an opportunity to get a Thai massage right in Victoria Pde. Loved that restaurant on the corner of Victoria Pde and Dutchies Beach ⛱ Tomaree head 🚶‍♂️ walk/ hike never disappoints. Looking forward to coming back.

Nelson Bay is just great.

Nelson Bay is just great. I dont live too far, in Newcastle, but we always had family trips to the bay for Christmas. And I want my son to have the same experiences I did when I was younger. It is just far away that it really does feel like we are on holidays somewhere alot further away. The shops, the cafes, the resturants, bars, everything is at your door step. Summer time is amazing, the bay has the most beautiful colours, everyone enjoying the sun. It is definitely 10/10

Nelson Bay is amazing!

Nelson Bay is amazing! It's THE DESTINATION if you enjoy peace, quiet and nature :) All the surroundings beaches are worth the visit too! I had few good meals over the weekend, but highlights include Essence Cafe and Taj Tandoori Indian. If you are fish and chips kind of person - Aussie fish and chips is the best! Parking in Nelson Bay is expensive, so best to park your car but out of the center for free parking.

What a funky Airbnb this was! We had a great time at Studio 34, the place was very clean, funky and the attention to detail was appreciated. We found the bed very comfy and enjoyed the outdoor shower! The host was quick to communicate with & good location to visit Nelson Bay, Shoal bay and Port Stephens! Thanks again.

Great location to get to Nelson Bay / Shoal Bay! They had a pool but we didn’t get around to using it! Rooms were rather basic but had everything as you’d expect for a motel and great value for money for a few nights!
