📍 35/45 Shoal Bay Rd, Shoal Bay

"Great location. Good service from the staff. I wish the studio is closer and easier way to get to it. We had to walk along the firedoor and parking lot. But overall all were good. The facilities are excellent"

📍 554 Gan Gan Rd, One Mile

"We had a lovely stay. The location is great - close to one mile beach and just a short drive from port Stephen attractions. Park has lots of facilities to keep everyone entertained, from resort style pools and bbq areas and playground for the kids. It’s perfect for a family gateway."

Bannisters Port Stephens
9.2 (115 reviews)

Bannisters Port Stephens ★★★★

📍 147 Soldiers Point Rd, Soldiers Point

"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."

"This was the most comfortable and cleanest hotel I stayed in during this trip. The room was a spacious duplex with two floors, and the facilities were complete. The bathroom was large and clean, and the sheets were clean. It was close to the shopping center and food street, and there was plenty of parking. I highly recommend this hotel."

Ingenia Holidays Soldiers Point Hotels in Port Stephens

Ingenia Holidays Soldiers Point

"The park itself has lots to offer children and that is what attracted us to go there but the cabin was horrible. We paid $3000 to stay 4 nights over the Easter break to stay in the worst cabin ever. That's $750 a night! We feel so ripped off. We stayed in a 3 bedroom cabin which had the smallest bathroom ever, most ensuites are larger then the one we got and it had no bath for the kids. The ensuites for the campers is TWICE the size of the bathroom we got... for 6 people! The main area had A/C right under the dining table and no fans and even though it was a cool Autumn, the cabin was a hot box. The A/C didn't travel down to the bedrooms which were only fitted with small fans on the walls, not ceiling fans and those rooms got HOT at night, there was no air flow even with windows open 24/7. The Internet didn't work well in the cabin and wasn't compatible to work on the TV so we couldn't connect Netflix or any other TV apps. We were supplied 2 rolls of toilet paper, no sugar and 5 glasses for 6 people. Horrible metal chairs for the dining table. Our porch seemed to be the only one without a BBQ which would have come in handy as the oven was horrible. it took 2hrs to cook anything on it, whether it be the stove or oven as it seemed to keep shutting off. It looks like most of the cabins have been updated but we were unlucky enough to get one of the old, run down ones that hasn't been, which is fine, but charge accordingly. the saying ' you get what you paid for' well... we paid a lot and didn't get much! ---Avoid the Caranday Cabin---"

The Retreat Port Stephens Hotels in Port Stephens

The Retreat Port Stephens

"Comfortable cottage with lovely staff. Cottage wasn't as clean as expected. Pool area was basic with a few sun loungers with no cushion/mattress which made lying by the pool quite uncomfortable. Beds and pillows were very comfortable though and cottage was spacious. Would have appreciated some cleaning products such as sponge and washing up liquid. "

"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."

"You need to ask the hotel for slippers in the room, otherwise they won't provide them separately. The service in the hotel restaurant was so-so; I sat there for a while without anyone serving me, so I ended up going out to eat. It might be acceptable for a small town, but for someone coming from Sydney, the experience wasn't particularly great, even though it's the best hotel in town."

Marina Resort ★★★★
"Me and my partner booked a last minute getaway to port Stephen’s for Christmas break. Marina resort did not disappoint! 10/10 service and cleanliness. The staff were so welcoming and lovely throughout our stay. The hotel itself was in prime location of Nelson Bay and close to the beautiful marina. Sea view rooms with a modern touch and stunning interior, very comfortable. Not to forget a modern pool area right outside to relax and enjoy the sun in the day time. They also had the cutest furry friend at reception! Such a friendly pup. Overall, we highly recommend staying at this beautiful hotel ❤️"
