If in Nelson Bay, this is the place to stay.
Welcome was excellent, room was clean with plenty of room and amenities. The pool is great and the bonus is the food/drinks from the Marina food van.

Great stay! Hotel is freshly renovated, room was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Close to everything, nice views and and beautiful swimming pool.
The owners have done an absolutely amazing job on the renovations. It is absolutely beautiful and we would definitely stay again.
The room was spotless and luxurious.
Beautiful place to stay. Friendly staff. Rooms are well appointed with everything you need & tastefully decorated. Rooms felt serene & peaceful. Bed was comfortable & pool was gorgeous. The sun lounges made the pool such a great place to relax we used the pool multiple times. Short walk into town & beautiful views out of the hustle & bustle so do yourself a favour & stay here it’s worth it!
This hotel has recently had the most stunning major renovation that has been meticulously done with great attention to detail. The new pool area is absolutely amazing. The lobby area is stunning and the rooms are just beautiful.
Everything was so clean and the is even a cute hotel dog!
I thoroughly recommend booking this hotel to support the owners who have just done an outstanding job at this reno. They must have the best pool area in Port Stephens.
From the brilliant welcome received at reception with their professional and friendly attitude, our overnight stay was amazing and deserving of five stars. The tasteful decor was wonderful and the beds were perfect for a great night’s sleep. We did not require a ‘room with a view’ yet could see the boats moored in the marina. Easily comparable with any first-class accommodation we have ever experienced.
Amazing little spot. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even about motorcycles which is a passion of mine. Room is clean, modern with excellent views. I stayed at a second flood and still had great views. Very relaxing for a single night stop over. Will consider it in summer for longer breaks. Thank you
Newly reopened after a major renovation and redesign so very clean and fresh. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Room was excellent with everything brand new.
Only let down was the ‘stunning ’ pool was not heated, so was too cold for me to enjoy, which was a big disappointment. Would definitely return once the pool is heated.

Great location, lovely view. Basic clean accommodation.
The Marina Resort was a family friendly stop over. My children thought the pool was the best part. Clean and refreshing.
The beds were comfortable and cosy.
