Enjoyed Port Stephens

Great position near a park and a few minutes walk to shops and marina. Each room has a small balcony off a sliding door. All usual motel room features. While were there reception wasn't open. We received an advanced text with room code. Daily room service provided. Just be aware the driveway to the carpark under the rooms is quite steep so take it very slowly if you drive a car. SUV type vehicle would be OK.

very clean and tidy, staff were friendly, very good location, bed and pillows very comfortable, all utensils were very good, keyless door code entry was helpful, location was within easy walking distance to town and waterfront, especially important as there are parking meters everywhere now in main town and surrounding areas, i would definitely consider staying here again, very good price considering it's summer time period

Great Location is the only reason you would stay here or if you are passing thru and need to park your car and leave your bags for a day or 2. Rooms are small, bathroom needs work. Facility is tired and requires maintenance.

Basic motel. Good location.

Basic motel room with everything you need for a night or two. Room very small for 3 especially if you have alot of luggage. We were travelling for a month. However beds were comfortable. Shower good. Could do with a bit of a deep clean as there were high cobwebs on the corners and the patio doors and patio was very grubby.

close to town centre

Was a good little motel in the process of refurbishment. It was in good clean condition and serviced all our requirements. Parking, security and close to Nelson Bay centre of town and beaches. Price was excellent. Not luxury but real good value.
