Shoal Bay Holiday Park
Safari tent was spacious and clean. The shared facilities were also cleaned regularly. Only negative feedback was related to other guests, mainly teenage kids running around the side of our tent in the middle of the night playing games. Outside of the control of the park itself.

Bali Hai - 3 bedroom- Pet friendly house with aircon
This is our second time and we really enjoy staying at Bali Hai. There is space in the dining room for meals, and in the living room to relax. Shoal Bay, and multiple more secluded beaches and bushwalks are walking distance.

Shoal Bay Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Vacationing to Port Stephens and not sure where to stay? The neighborhood of Shoal Bay can be found 9 miles (14 kilometers) to the east of downtown Port Stephens.
If you and your fellow adventurers are stopping off at Shoal Bay, the Nelson Bay Breeze Holiday Apartments and Mantra Aqua Resort are all within the same neighborhood as the Fly Point Marine Reserve. However, the Ramada Resort Shoal Bay and Beaches Serviced Apartments are in close proximity to the Nelson Head Lighthouse, if you would rather.
A good example of a lower-cost accommodation option in Shoal Bay is the Shoal Bay Beachclub Apartments.
While Shoal Bay features a selection of hotels, it is also worth considering securing a place to stay in Salamander Bay and Nelson Bay. Browse our Nelson Bay hotels guide and Travelocity's Salamander Bay hotels guide.
Travelocity's user-friendly booking page features a range of Port Stephens options.
