Top Nelson Bay Hotel Reviews

Mantra Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great holiday experience. Value for money"

Halifax Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a budget cabin. Very spacious and so close to the beach! Everything here is lovely, and can't wait to be able to come back! Walking distance to town, two beaches, and even a take away shop just outside the main gate. Staff were very kind and very approachable, helped me with all my questions. There is a boat ramp close by, a fish cleaning table as well as public toilets."

Nelson Towers Motel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"Very close to information centre, Marina and town centre. Not great view of bay because of all the buildings in front. The only cooking facilities was an air fryer and a microwave. No face to face with staff, all communication was done via text . The apartment itself was very comfortable."
