Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- SmoltmanCourtenay, Canada9,064 contributionsThis fort in its present state is relatively new. It also has historical significance for it fired 4 rounds at a Japanese submarine during WW2. The displays are well documented and hold lots of memorable items. Well worth a visit whilst in Newcastle.Written 21 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- K72Melbourne, Australia2,932 contributionsGreat place (and busy) to take a stroll- enjoy the sea air, the local birdlife and the sound of crashing waves. Walk is concrete and flat- accessible to all.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DadandCabCoffs Harbour, Australia1,178 contributionsThe coastal path passes here if walking from Nobbys to Merewether. Worth stopping to check out the gun emplacement and the gunners quarters which are still present (no entry).Written 23 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DestinationsJourneyHunter Valley, Australia114 contributionsA great place to get out of the weather, if it's raining or too hot.
There's not really much to see here, apart from the old historical building. If you want a picnic area out of the sun, this would probably be OK.
While you are here have a walk around Foreshore Park and look and the lake and sculpture. The walk along the harbor front is nice and if you are feeling energetic, walk out on the break wall to Nobby's Headland.Written 20 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is the site of the first water reservoir for reticulation to the city. It's a bit of a stiff climb from the CBD but the views across the city and out to sea are excellent. Signage could be improved and not a lot of seating or shade.Written 31 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tony WSydney, Australia4,636 contributionsAfter a fantastic dinner at Scratchleys it was great to be able to take a walk along the harbour foreshore. While most of the wharves are now gone from the area there are historical markers letting you know about the areas working port past. Well maintained and very well lit for a night time walk.Written 12 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MosesPH1,472 contributionsLocation for this is close to the CBD and easy to get to. Parking available all along the street and nice gardens around. A peaceful place and good spot to reflect and give thanksWritten 7 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C0LE316Sydney, Australia65 contributionsWalked past this not really noticing anything off hand. Curious though what the artwork was about.
Taking a look around didn't really produce much to learn / read although the designs were somewhat interesting.Written 1 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Markets Saturdays are great. Lots of craft and sweet gifts as well as van/street food and great easy entertainment.Written 27 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
