The launchpad for whale watching tours, sunset cruises and swim with dolphin adventures, Nelson Bay offers a close-to-nature experience with all the creature comforts. The largest town in the Port Stephens area, you ll find easy access to cafes, restaurants and shopping, as well as sheltered beaches perfect for families with young children.
See dolphins, whales & marine life
More than 100 dolphins live in the pristine blue waters of the Port Stephens - Great Lakes Marine Park. Dolphin watching cruises depart all year from the busy marina in Nelson Bay. For a truly unique experience, during the warmer months, you can swim amongst wild dolphins with Dolphin Swim Australia. Whale watching boat tours operate between May and November, when thousands of humpback and southern right whales migrate along the NSW North Coast. Just east of Nelson Bay, go snorkelling at Fly Point - Halifax Aquatic Reserve, and discover an underwater world teeming with sponge gardens, soft corals, sea turtles and a colourful array of fish.
Cycling & lookouts
Hire bikes and cycle the picturesque waterfront. The Bartlett cycleway is 5km one-way from pretty Bagnalls Beach to Little Beach, near the heritage-listed Nelson Head Lighthouse, built in 1872. In the lighthouse cottage, there is a delightful cafe with stunning coastal views. The Little Nel is another great local cafe. You ll discover more panoramic vistas at Gan Gan Hill lookout, where you can marvel at the natural beauty of the Port Stephens inlet, twice the size of Sydney Harbour. To the east is the magnificent Tomaree National Park and Fingal Bay. To the south are the giant Stockton Bight Sand Dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands, one of Australia s great natural wonders.

As advertised - walking distance to beach via trail at the back of the unit. Also walking distance to little beach reserve. Unit was clean and tidy. Good assortment of pantry staples. Everything you needed for a home away from home. Would stay again. Ample room for three adults and two children.

Walk to the beach

What a great place. Just step out the back gate and the path takes you directly to the beach. We spent each day floating in the water. We could return, quickly rinse in the ground floor shower and relax. Well equiped kitchen and the house has everything you could need. If you car is on the longer side you may not fit it in the lock up garage. The house is also walking distance to the shops. Central aircon upstair helped keep things cooler of an evening as well.

Beautifully appointed home, stroll to beach

Lovely, well-appointed and very comfortable home in an outstanding position. Everything you need is provided in a welcoming environment with the 'cherry on top' being its close proximity to the beach. You literally walk out the back gate and a couple of minutes stroll down a short path to the beautiful Shoal Bay. The house itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended
