Moana Blue at Shoal Bay
"Lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee on the balcony with a view and breeze and for a short stroll to the beach and shoal bay shops. Everything in the accomodation was new, modern and easy to use. Check in process was easy and Nicole who managed the booking was informative and quick to respond."

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.

Mantra Nelson Bay
"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."
