The Area: Nelson Bay, NSW

With dolphins and whales amongst the line-up of locals, the coastal town of Nelson Bay offers brushes with nature without living Tarzan lifestyles. Boasting beautiful beaches on one side and magnificent hinterland on the other, Nelson Bay is a land where Mother Nature is at her breathtaking best, offering golden shores, coastal walking trails and lofty, picturesque views in a laidback setting.

Relish in the wealth of activities on offer onsite, head next door for a round of golf on the 27-hole course or take a wander along the beach, marina or laidback main street. Adventurous folk tick desert exploration off their bucket list at the famous Stockton Beach sand dunes, where they have the opportunity to enjoy awesome sand-boarding, quad-biking, camel rides and more. All the while take in the glimpses of historically notorious shipwrecks out at sea. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences are delivered in the form of dolphin and whale watching cruises, where humpbacks are commonly sighted between May and November.

Those with nothing more than romance on the cards keep themselves happily occupied over the course of their stay with a trip to Gan Gan Lookout at sunset or a romantic dinner cruise. Getawayers keen to take advantage of the nearby vineyards spend days hopping between cellar doors, stopping along the way to try the fresh, local produce at the restaurants and cafés scattered about.
