Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable.

About the area
Nelson Bay, located on the southern shores of Port Stephens in New South Wales, Australia, is a coastal paradise that beckons travelers with its stunning natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and laid-back lifestyle. This picturesque town is a gateway to the wonders of the larger Port Stephens area, known for its clear turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and unspoiled natural parks.
One of the main attractions in Nelson Bay is dolphin and whale watching. The area is a haven for bottlenose dolphins, and several operators offer tours to see these playful creatures up close. Between May and November, migrating humpback whales can also be spotted, providing an awe-inspiring spectacle for nature lovers.
For those who prefer to dive into the underwater world, Nelson Bay is a premier destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. The Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park offers a diverse range of marine life and underwater landscapes, including the famous Fly Point-Halifax Park Aquatic Reserve, where divers can explore sponge gardens and kelp forests teeming with fish.
Beach enthusiasts will find their slice of heaven on the soft sands of Nelson Bay. Zenith Beach, Shoal Bay, and Fingal Bay are just a few of the stunning beaches that offer opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing. The calm waters of the bay are also perfect for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.
For a panoramic view of the area, visitors can hike up to the summit of Tomaree Head. The walk rewards with breathtaking vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding Tomaree National Park is also a great spot for bushwalking and spotting local wildlife, including koalas and a variety of bird species.
Nelson Bay's marina is the heart of the town, lined with restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops. Here, visitors can indulge in fresh seafood, browse local crafts, or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. The marina is also the launching point for many of the area's water-based activities.
For a cultural experience, the nearby Worimi Conservation Lands offer guided tours to learn about the local Indigenous culture and history, including the remarkable Stockton Sand Dunes, the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere.
In essence, Nelson Bay is a destination that offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Whether you're seeking an action-packed holiday or a peaceful retreat, Nelson Bay's charm and array of activities make it an ideal spot for travelers of all tastes.
