When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and found the staff to be informative and helpful. We stayed in a lovely deluxe room that was clean, pleasant and comfortable. The facilities are fair but you get what you pay for. Breakfast was fabulous. Overall we had a great time. Thank you, we'll be back.

Chose this hotel primarily on price and short notice availability for a two day visit to the Port Stephen's area. We arrived by bus from Sydney and were dropped off a short distance from the hotel which was very convenient. The room and facilities were fairly average but reasonable for the price. The location was great for Shoal Bay but... More

We recently returned from a weekend stay at the Peninsular Motor Inn Nelson Bay. We were glad to have booked this on a voucher deal and would have been very disappointed if we had paid the full rate. The rooms have been nicely refreshed, and for a 3 1/2 star motel quite acceptable however the "balcony" advertised was unuseable as... More

My partner and I have just returned from a long weekend at Peninsula Motor Inn and I must admit we were pleasantly suprised. After reading the previous reviews we were a bit worried about how we would be greeted at reception. We didn't have to wait long and the man that was checking us in was really nice. He was... More

I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights. Service was great, staff were very friendly. When we walked into our room there was a strange smell, bit stuffy and mouldy. However, room in general was decent. Great location. Less than 2km to Nelson Bay shops, which is a lovely walk. It's also a short walk to little beach. The... More

This was meant to be a special occasion for my elderly mother who is 86 years old. It was my Dad’s anniversary of when he passed and my mum wanted to make a special pilgrimage to one of their favourite places they enjoyed when my dad was still alive. Instead of a four star deluxe room with a private balcony... More

The features of this place were not what we were promised when we spoke to the person over the phone. The room and amenities were filthy. When we addressed these problems with the staff, they were not accommodating, no-one was available to make a decision, assist us or give us answers. They seemed more interested in us Paying Now...and working... More

We were a group of 2 couples looking for a cheapish break who stayed in the deluxe 2 bed apartment for a weekend. We found the Peninsula's apartments ideal for our needs - we wanted to be able to cook and avoid the hot midday sun without being cramped, but not pay a fortune for a hotel room when we... More

Stayed 2 nights @ $85p.n. which I thought was good value as I think they put me into a better room. Room was good size and quite comfortable. Bed was not soft but found that with all motels I stayed in. They were very friendly and helpful and flexible and made my stay enjoyable. Restaurant on site but only open... More

Booked two nights with my partner in this hotel while attending freediving course in Nelson Bay. First night we stayed in Deluxe room and the second night we had to stay in budget room as all deluxe rooms were booked out. Deluxe room was all right, all clean and tidy, we came too late, and I spent almost all day... More
