Great location, comfy and had everything we needed
Just a 5-minute walk from the beach and 2 minutes' walk from the town centre, Hotel Nelson (formerly The Nelson Resort) has a heated swimming pool, fitness centre and a steam room.

Lovely and accommodating staff, we have stayed here twice and can not fault this hotel. Our place to stay when we visit Nelson Bay.

Loved the heated swimming pool, it was actually properly heated unlike other resorts we've stayed at so despite it being a cold day, we had a lovely swim. Perfect location right by beach and cafe. Trampolines were great fun.
Tea Gardens Motel is a 2-hour drive from Sydney and a 1-hour drive from Newcastle. The property is a 1-hour drive from Nelson Bay, or you can take the ferry from Tea Gardens to Nelson Bay.
Apartments are privately owned but managed by the resort.
Apartments are privately owned but managed by the resort. Lagoon pool is huge and you can access from the balcony. Opposite is a large shopping centre with fast food and supermarkets. Only restaurant in close proximity is in the resort if you like pizza. Buses run front the door to Nelson Bay. We fly but would probably come by car next time.

The location is close to attractions, it's walking distance to a shopping centre that has everything you need. Everywhere we went people where friendly. Third time staying here and would go back to this area again.

Salamander Bay is a great location to unwind and have a short break from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. You can choose to go to the beach or drive a few kilometers for other outdoor activities. The sand dunes and camel ride activities are just a short distance drive. The Oaks Port Stephen Pacific Blue Resort is one of my most highly recommended accommodation, with great location and amenities.

Amazing property. Big enough for 10 ppl.
Appliances all great. Absolute waterfront. No more than 20 steps away from water.
Salamander hotel has a curtesy bus. We had dinner there, food was great, entertainment was good.
Next time we will visit more local areas, we just didn’t want to leave the amazing property.

Pool, restaurant, accommodation, staff, cleanliness - excellent.
Have stayed a number of times before and will definitely stay again. Great family holiday in warm weather .
Children even swam in pool in pouring rain .
Would have liked the Villa (508) to have had more utensils in the kitchen .
Cutting board, mop, vacuum, sharper knives, baking trays .

We went to lot of activities, camel ride , shark and ray was a gem , we able to get in the water to pat and feed the sharks and sting ray, it was fun for whole family. Dolphin cruise dolphins just swim next to your boat . Sand boarding .
We went to butterfly house, it was a huge disappointed. Over priced with poor condition. Not treating animals right , if you planning to visit , DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Exceptional place – Delightful people – Gorgeous stay
We spent a great time in Salamander Bay Bed & Breakfast.
Located in a beautiful and quiet property, the room itself is spacious, comfortable, very clean with very nice original decorations and equipped with everything we could possibly need.
The hosts, Merilyn & Bruce, are easy style people, not intrusive at all and very attentive and helpful in advising places to visit and eat out.
We really enjoyed this place that we very highly recommend.
Bedrooms and plunge pool and the whole apartment had a generous size. We were with other group of friends who were in 2 separate apartments and we still got to share dinner with them. The resort had one of the best locations which was also close to amenities, the beach area and some other outdoor activities that you can go to. My husband really enjoyed his lap swimming at it was a heated pool. The kids were just a bit disappointed as the main pool was closed for renovation.
Ample room to chill out, comfy furniture and walk out into the pool that goes all around the resort were awesome. Air con and TV's in each room and adequately sized kitchen were nice and easy parking. Lovely staff. Also around the corner from the local shops if you wan to go buy a small amount of groceries, books or clothes. Little washing machine and dryer were handy too.
What a fantastic place to stay. Such a find! The bedroom suite above their double garage is wonderful and so spacious and welcoming. The gardens are peaceful and serene to spend time in. Walking distance to Salamander Bay Shopping Centre. Merilyn and Bruce cannot do enough for their visitors making you very welcome. We will go back for sure! 🥰🥰
The location at Salamander Bay Horizons Golf course is fantastic, close to water, shops and our friends. Peaceful location, quiet, until our kids were playing outside 😉 Unit very clean and well appointed, 8 beds plus a fold out sofa and spare mattresses! Comfortable space to relax and share time with friends and family
Great having two rooms, next to each other. Didn’t get to use the swimming facilities. They looked amazing. Quiet location, near to major shopping centre. Great dinner at the Salamander Hotel close by. Rooms all face onto the lagoon pool. Gated resort with parking.
We love the direct access to the large swimming pool from the room. Peaceful location and good restaurant in the premises. Short drive anywhere in Nelson Bay area. Nearby Shopping centre is also great (100metres) .
Very comfortable bed and small kitchenette.
The location is ideal, quiet and relaxing with an unbeatable outlook against the golf course. The property is in close proximity to Salamander Bay Shopping Centre, short drive into Nelson Bay, and short drive to Soldiers Point, giving you many options.
It is a wonderful resort in Port Stephens with the largest pool on the Southern Hemisphere. The rooms were big, comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The heated private plunge pool was fantastic.
Room was excellent, comfy with everything we needed. We were told that the hotel was undergoing renovations, (which they were), but they never interfered with our stay in any way.
The apartment and hotel were both fantastic, we’ve stayed in other rooms at this hotel before and we always love it but having the private pool was a massive hit with the kids.
we always love staying here. we usually make a b-line for oaks any long weekend we get and it’s perfect with everything available at the hotel we need.
