“Port Stephens Motel wins on location, placing you within an easy walk of Nelson Bay's bustle and the beach. The rooms might show their age in places, but that only adds a certain unpretentious charm, especially when balanced by a recent refresh. For families or anyone seeking a relaxed base, the pool and courtyard are welcome extras.”

The bathroom was a bit dated but very clean. The shower had great water pressure. Eco-friendly amenities attached to the wall were great.
