    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us.

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us. Been many times over the years and it never disappoints. My kids loved it and now the grandkids love the ease of getting to all amenities. The beach is just across the road. Shops within walking distance. Fresh air and wonderful selection is cafes and ice cream shops. The country club is our favourite place to get a great meal. We hired a canoe and paddled out to the beautiful turquoise waters. Can't explain it you have to experience it yourself.

    Love the coastal area.

    Love the coastal area. Minimal traffic, high rise and not over developed. Beautiful beaches with blue tranquil water. Definitely Not a surfing beach. White sand . Seems like a very safe area. Good places to eat. Try the Country Club for a great meal or afternoon cocktails . Also the Atmos Greek Restaurant was very nice. 5 mins drive to Little Bay Boathouse a great restaurant we lived. 10 minutes to the larger town of Nelson Bay if you want to shop, dine, or need anything. Also a wharf there with fresh seafood available.

    It was a beautiful place, what would be good is a place to hire beach chairs. I didn't go to beach cause I can't sit without chair.Transport to airport was great right out side door nearly and cheap, bus driver helped put cases on and off.

    The shower head in the ensuite need improved.

    The shower head in the ensuite need improved. Would be nice if proper bedside tables in the ensuite. Need some cereal bowls in the kitchen. The whole apartment is well equipped and well maintained. Nearby we visited Koala Santuary, Shark & Ray Encounters , Gan Gan lookout, Bob's farm Murray and nearby bay and beaches. Very nice scenery. I'm very pleased of the stay. Will book again.

    Excellent restaurants!

    Excellent restaurants! The most memorable part was the balance of incredible food and physical activities that left you just tired enough to relax afterward. Mt Tomaree was a pleasure and offered beautiful views - everyone we crossed on the path was very friendly and courteous - everyone was happy to be there. Great hotel facilities in the main Ramada resort area. Lots of people had dogs walking by the beach which was so joyous - we will look into the accommodation which is pet-friendly next time so that we can bring our dog too.

    Well for start, we wr upgraded to unit 3, it was amazing, we wr actually going to stay in a cabin at the van park for 2 nights, no view, lots of other people around ya, but, this place was cheaper, awesome view, beach access right across the road. Inside is perfect, great lounge, awesome bed, magic deck with Shoal views, TV can log in to your own Prime/Netflix/YouTube, washing machine and great shower. We will put this on our regular list, we will never stay anywhere else in Shoal Bay.

    The room was gigantic! 3 bedrooms, an ensuite, bathroom and powder room. Lounge, dining and kitchen enormous! Even the wrap around balcony was massive! If u want a holiday in shoal bay this place is well worth the money. Great location on the beach! Full kitchen you could cook a banquet in, just huge!! My friends and I were blown away, felt like a penthouse apartment, it’s easily the biggest suite I’ve ever been in.

    The location was central to many beaches (Box Beach, Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay) and the garden was lovely and well maintained. The air conditioning worked well and the bathrooms were clean and spacious. The bedrooms were also a good size. The property managers responded quickly when the hot water stopped working and rectified the problem within a few hours. The washing machine works well.

    What an amazing beachside destination! I have been holidaying in Shoal Bay on-and-off for many years now. We were blessed with beautiful weather which always makes a holiday memorable. The Ramada Resort was extremely pleasant and the fact that eateries were within steps made it beautifully easy. I love Shoal Bay; I just love it!

    The location is nice and quiet, right across from Shoal Bay beach. The shops and restaurants are so close and its a nice stroll to the headland and lookout. We had a problem with the internet and the host contacted us personally and resolved the issue. We would certainly stay here again 👍

    The apartment was gorgeous, comfortable and well equipped. The view was spectacular and wonderful to wake up to. Location was also very convenient, plenty of restaurants in the area and few steps away from the beach. Mount Tomaree is also just a walking distance away.

    Bay Village, located at Shoal Bay are individual apartment units which we thoroughly enjoyed staying at. The unit we stayed at was clean and offered a swell view of the bay. We definitely recommend Bay Village.
