"Our aloha cabin was really lovely and comfortable. It was also super clean. The kids loved the pools and waterslide. We loved the whole park. There is a bowling club next door (food not great) or cheeky dog restaurant across the road (food great) which was handy but I would have loved a cafe on site or even just coffee. That was the only thing missing for me. Also if you could pick this park up and put it in shoal bay that would be even better cos I didn’t love the location."

Oaks Port Stephens Pacific Blue Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is the hotel that has the fabulous facilities. The hot tub and pool were amazing. The staff was very accommodating, especially with making sure that we had a room that we could use with my wheelchair. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Everything here was great, especially being close to Nelson Bay."

Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock

8/10 Good

"Great stay! Room was clean and the mattress was one of the most comfortable I’ve stayed on (I travel a fair bit). AC worked very well and flowed into both rooms. Pool is not heated, large spa was great but overcrowded by unsupervised children."

Gateway Lifestyle Birubi Beach

8/10 Good

"Exactly as described and at a reasonable price. We enjoyed our stay here as a young family of four. Plenty of options on things to do around the area. The owners are also friendly and helpful."

Mantra Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here -- it has lots of room for a family of four and my son didn't want to leave! Located in the town center of Nelson Bay, it is also only a few minutes' walk to Woolworths and the other shops. Our apartment was nice and clean and had a good ambience. Furniture had a little wear and tear, but it was acceptable. Rooms were of a good size and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and had everything we needed. We had a laundry and an ensuite which was very nice. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. A couple of downsides: the wifi was very slow and in fact failed one evening and the wifi network seemed to drop out of existence! Secondly, because it's a pool view apartment, we got a bit of noise from the activity in the pool - these are both minor complaints though as the pool is closed before it gets too late and we have our mobile phones for internet anyway. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we will stay here again next time we're in Nelson Bay. I can recommend it."
