Bannisters Port Stephens ★★★★

"This hotel was a decent stopover on our road trip from Sydney to Brisbane. Check-in was smooth, and the family room was just right for us. The area is very quiet, and there are three different restaurants nearby that seem quite popular. Our room had direct access to a lawn, which was perfect for the kids. Breakfast was pretty standard Western fare; if you want something better, you can order à la carte. It would be even better if there was an option to book without breakfast."

Anchorage Port Stephens ★★★★

"Excellent location and very clean property. All staff very friendly. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Special thanks to Laxman at guest relations / front desk who was very friendly and provided helpful information and superb guest service. Laxman should be recognised on our behalf and is a valuable employee. We will return back in the near future for sure!"

Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock ★★★★

"The campsite is clean and well-equipped. You can park right next to the camp/room you are staying in. Great vibe and good value. Will stay again!"

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay ★★★★

"I booked late at night and there weren't many hotels available, so I randomly chose this one. It was very shabby, with a big gap between the mattress and the headboard filled with two pillows. There were two long hairs on the bed. I was too tired to stay for one night. I suggest you don't choose this one if you can. The front is hard to find and parking is inconvenient."

Marina Resort ★★★★

"Very nice hostage and kids friendly environment! Our room is spacious and have a good view over Nelson Bay! Must recommend!"

Oaks Port Stephens Pacific Blue Resort ★★★★

"Cozy 2 bedroom apartment along pool. Spa, gym was great to use. Location was close to the beaches. Free parking and WiFi at hotel"

Lemon Tree Passage Motel ★★★

"It's very nice place. It's very clean and facility are new and convenient. I lived there for one night. Everything is good for me."

Backpacker’s Waterfront Stay at Shoal Bay Stayz with Dave& Stays ★★

Wanderers Retreat ★★★★

"The place is good though finding it was a bit confusing. Good for relaxing, very quiet. Aircon and ceiling fan is available. A walking distance to One mile beach."
