Top Nelson Bay Hotel Reviews

Peninsula Nelson Bay Motel and Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The property is clean, staff are friendly, value for money."

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."

Dutchie's Beach Oasis - Private home with pool, walk to beach and town

10/10 Excellent

"Property wasnt quite ready on arrival but they did give an extra hour on check out to make up for it. A few minor running repairs needed doing but did not get a response from host as to fixing these. All up a great place for a extended family for a weekend."
