Holiday with the extended family by the pristine coastline of Port Stephens in both levels of this modern duplex, just 200m from the sandy shore and crystal clear waters of Shoal Bay Beach. The beautiful beach curves 2.5km around the coast from Tomaree Head to Nelson Bay and offers calm bay waters perfect for swimming, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding (available for hire every day during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter). There are BBQ facilities and picnic tables along the beachside reserve, and less than 1km further along the foreshore, you can climb Mount Tomaree for spectacular views from the summit. Right on your doorstep you will find waterfront eateries, bars and shops, including the popular Country Club Hotel, and just a 5-minute drive brings you to the township of Nelson Bay. Come and experience Shoal Bay, one of the prettiest coastal towns Australia has to offer!
