Top Shoal Bay Hotel Reviews

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay

8/10 Good

"Great spot, we had a front room with views of the bay, room was clean and tidy and reasonably comfortable. People in room next door seemed to be constantly smoking which drifted our way regularly (not the property fault as it was not allowed….in hindsight we should have told reception at the time). Access to pools and spas was a welcome addition to the dips in the bay just metre from our door."

Peninsula Nelson Bay Motel and Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay! The reception staff was helpful and just lovely, bringing towels to my kids when she heard they were in the pool. The apartment we stayed in was the 3-bedroom apartment. It was quite dated, however clean, and there was everything we needed, really. Great positon to go for walks to various beaches that surround the area and close to Nelson Bay."

Hotel Nelson

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay for one night. Location, great. Room, great!"

Ingenia Holidays One Mile Beach

8/10 Good

"We hired the budget cabin. It was well presented and the double bed was comfortable. The only negative is the bunk beds were tiny. We had our 12 year old who is not on the tall side and he just fit in the bed. The resort had lots of options for kids, and the staff were very nice. A great place for families."
