Port Stephens
We are thinking of going to Port Stephens for few days during Christmas. Does anybody have any recommendation for accomodation? Thanks

Re: Port Stephens
I don't live too far away from Port Stephens, but because of that we've never stayed around there. Sorry.
There's a link that pops up (depending what access you've got to this forum) above this thread for accommodation in Port Stephens... does that help?

I've just realised that the links keep changing... I think it might have been:

If you are looking to treat yourselves the people I work with rate the peppers resort but that is mucho expensive.
There are camp sites and cabin areas around Little Beach/1 mile beach (only not so little actual). If you pm bluerobot he has stayed up there loads of times and just recently as well.
Last time I was up visiting the Hunter Valley and Port Stephens and we actually stayed in Newcastle - but I will not recommend the hotel as anything special, just one of generic box setups like Formula 1. But it meant we didn't have as much travel to do to the Wine Region in the Lower HUnter. And newcastle Harbour has a bit of night life if there are planned events, bit crappy the rest of the time.
If you have already been to Port Stephens I am sure you know how wonderful it can be. So far we have done the Duck Dive, numerous whale and dolphin watching, snorkling and the rest of the family have recently been sand dune quad biking. Loved everything.
Anyway will stop boring you now.
Have a super time you picked an excellent spot.

KD Winnings will be able to sort you out if you're after a holiday unit. Port Stephens especially Nelson Bay is big on these rather than motels or decent hotels. KD Winnings have a website if you do a search.

Thanks all for replying.
We are thinking of staying with Comfort Inn Salamander Shores The rate for a seaview spa room is $209 before 25th and $240 during Christmas. It suits our budget and we'll have the chance to live close to the beach. Any idea if you get to see whale/dolphin during the summer months?

I'm pretty sure the dolphins are all year round, not the whales though.
