Castaways, 1/17 Shoal Bay Rd - Ground floor, 2-bedroom apartment right across from Shoal Bay Beach

Castaways is ideally located right across the road from popular Shoal Bay Beach and just a block from the popular Shoal Bay Country Club, as well as cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and shops including a chemist, newsagent and IGA grocery store. Along the picturesque stretch of beach you'll find calm water swimming, soft white sand, the wharf, boat ramp, and hiring options for stand up paddle boards and kayaks. At the eastern end of the beach, just 600m from your apartment is the Tomaree Head Summit walk, where you can follow the trail up to the lookout to take in breathtaking views over the pristine Port Stephens coastline. You're also just a 5-minute drive to Nelson Bay and its marina, where dolphin watch cruises operate daily.

When you're done exploring for the day, simply sit back, relax, breathe in the fresh salty air and enjoy the view out over the water from your front patio. This affordable, ground floor unit has air-conditioned open living with a leather lounge and TV, and a kitchen with microwave, cooktop and full size fridge/freezer. There are 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and other with a bunk bed and single bed, and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. Guests have access to a shared laundry with a coin operated washing machine, as well as off-street parking for one car – park the car and walk straight to the beach!

Very poor quality accomodation. You would find better in a two star roadside motel. Even worse staff at Nelson Bay Winning accomodation.
