Nelson Bay is a vibrant, small town with a distinct “village” feel situated on the shores of Port Stephens. It is located just 2 ½ hours drive north of Sydney in the State of New South Wales on the East coast of Australia. The Port opens onto the Pacific Ocean and is just one hour’s drive from the bustling city of Newcastle. Port Stephens is a superb natural harbour with many white sandy beaches and rocky bays separating the eucalyptus-covered headlands. The Port is home to it’s own resident population of bottle nose dolphins which may be seen year round, with daily trips to view the mighty humpback whales cruising off the Port available from June to November.

Our home is just 2 minutes drive from the town of Nelson Bay, or 10 minutes walk along the foreshore. The area has several fine restaurants, a bustling waterfront and marina, local shops and all amenities including a small cinema (for the odd rainy day). We are also situated just one hour away from the world-renowned vineyards of the Hunter Valley, a treasure trove of fine wines, restaurants and magnificent gardens. Nelson Bay is also situated on the edge of the Tomaree National Park covering over 2000 hectares of coastal bushland, which also includes a resident Koala colony.

There are two local golf courses available as well as swimming, snorkelling, horse riding, bush walking, parasailing, fishing and kayaking all available locally with boats for hire if you wish to do your own thing.
