We stayed in the one bedroom apartment and loved it. Make sure you get the top floor for great views of the bay from your balcony (great for having a beer/wine after a day at the beach!). The apartment was really modern, clean and good value. We booked through the entertainment book and got a great deal of $93-$104/night for... more

The apartments are ideally situated away from the noisy marina but close enough to walk in town - leave the car behind. We had a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the bay in the distance. They should advise guests that all units (expect 1 small studio) have a flight of stairs. Nelson Bay and the Port Stephens area is a great... more

Our booking was made with ebookers and was described as a modern hotel room spacious with superior furnishings.From the website the pictures showed a good room. The hotel does not look at all inviting , more like... more

I stayed in a Hotel Room for 3 nights. I found a cheap rate through Oaks website and for $89 a night, the Hotel Room was very good value. The Hotel Room would be quite spacious for one person, however was a bit squishy for two people. A one bedroom apartment would probably be better for two people (but they... more

It is only a short downhill walk to Coles and the cinema, but a steep hill climb on the way back. Could do with a games room, room... more

This was my second stay at this property. I had located it on Wotif.com and selected it initially because the room rates were very good and the property itself is quite new. I can't fault it for price, I paid AUD$99 a night (minimum 2 nights) for a 'hotel' room with a King size bed (which for the record is... more

we stayed a night (room 202, 2bd split level) during 2009 Easter holiday. Location is good - short walking distance to coles or marina wharf. Rooms - impressed with the 1 bedroom aprt. It has a very big living room but no view. The other room (hotel style), we found very small. We also found the shower rooms' weren't friendly.... more
