Top Nelson Head Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

The Landmark Resort Nelson Bay

8/10 Good

"Did not offer upgrade unless you paid no breakfast unless you paid didn’t even want to acknowledge that s as a platinum member even though we were told they had upgrade"

Peninsula Nelson Bay Motel and Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The property is clean, staff are friendly, value for money."

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Resources are there but you have to watch videos or ether 20 min or 1 hour try to book really early"

Mantra Nelson Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here -- it has lots of room for a family of four and my son didn't want to leave! Located in the town center of Nelson Bay, it is also only a few minutes' walk to Woolworths and the other shops. Our apartment was nice and clean and had a good ambience. Furniture had a little wear and tear, but it was acceptable. Rooms were of a good size and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and had everything we needed. We had a laundry and an ensuite which was very nice. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. A couple of downsides: the wifi was very slow and in fact failed one evening and the wifi network seemed to drop out of existence! Secondly, because it's a pool view apartment, we got a bit of noise from the activity in the pool - these are both minor complaints though as the pool is closed before it gets too late and we have our mobile phones for internet anyway. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we will stay here again next time we're in Nelson Bay. I can recommend it."

Halifax Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"We don't have a caravan any more so this was our first stay in a cabin at Halifax. Very comfortable, plenty of room. Clean and airy with everything you need for your stay."

Port Stephens Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. with shops nearby"
