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.

This is the third year we have stayed at Fingal Bay Seaside Holiday Resort. It is only an hours drive from our home and the accommodation is excellent. It is very clean and well maintained and really comfortable. Comfortable lounge and beds and a large Smart TV. The Fingal Bay Surf Club is across the road from the Resort and there is a Restaurant with beautiful views and lovely meals. There is also a Cafe with great coffee and a menu with lots of options. Great takeaway shops in the Fingal Bay Village also. At the resort there is a pool plus a shallow one for small children and these pools are maintained excellently. The BBQ area is very conveniently situated near the pool. De-Anne and her staff are the most pleasant people and are so obliging and pleasant which makes for a happy holiday. We have booked again for our next holiday.

I am so shocked to read the previous critical reviews of this amazing resort and of its wonderful staff. I have been here with my family many times over the past 8 years and can assure you that you would absolutely not be disappointed. The units, facilities and grounds are very clean, very comfortable, very well equipped and very well maintained. All units are located close to bbqs, pool, beach and laundry facilities. They are very private and spacious with large verandahs. All units have a large TV, Wifi, air-conditioning, comfy lounges, very comfortable beds, large fridge, modern stove, oven, and microwave, large shower and clean bed and bath linen. The resort is so close (3 min walk) to one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. Fingal Bay is the backdrop to the famous 2006 Tourism Australia advertisement "Where Bloody Hell Are Ya". The gardens are beautiful and full of bird life. Staff are very welcoming, discreet and have always accommodated all our needs. It is suited to the young and old and I know of many families who return to holiday here year after year. It is also very well priced.

The grounds are really nice & well tendered. Apartment very clean and comfortable. Main bed was made but needed to make up the single beds in 2nd bedroom with linen provided. Only complaint is that with 4 adults you really do need two handtowels and bathmats. A good sharp knife in the kitchen would also be good and a working DVD player. Apart from this couple of small matters, it was a lovely place to stay with a great meal at the club across the road. Beautiful scenery & walks to be taken all within short drives from the resort or just walking across the road. The trip to the lighthouse was so worth it for the beautiful view. Staff were friendly & accommodating. Would happily stay here again.

Thankyou Sandra for taking the time to review our property and bringing to our attention the few things requiring our attention. We would have gladly rectified these issues if we were aware. Extra linen items ca be picked up from reception. It's great you enjoyed our lovely apartments. I must agree, the walk to the lighthouse is amazing. We never get tired of the view.

The motel is not luxurious but more than adequate, clean and quiet with good amenities. It is virtually on the beach and close to beautiful walks in the national park. Can dine at the surf club across the road without risking license, fish dishes were cheap and fulfilled all expectations.
I took a canoe to paddle in the multiple bays and enjoy the evening lights. The area is stunningly beautiful. We had a great holiday. Great value for money

Staying here with two friends we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the Port Stephens area and having a meal at the local bowling club or lunch at the cafe on the beach or the Lighthouse tea rooms , returning to the peace and quiet of the Resort.
Beds, linen, and arrival provisions (coffe, tea, milk) made the accommodation perfect for a late arrival and the perfect place to relax and wander the shores of Fingal Bay.
The Unit was very well maintained as is the whole of the Resort area.
I would return to this property anytime.

Our stay was for a family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children)
The room was inviting and modern, this stay our room #38 did not have a dish washer, and we were one towel short 4 towels were provided for the stay. Staff were nice they would say hello as we passed. It’s $3 to use the laundry washer and $3 for the dryer unfortunately they don’t have a change box to convert all coins into $1 as required for use.

The rooms provide basic cleaning products for the room however we like to bring our own for long stays such as dish liquid and hand soap, the hair care provided this stay was very nice. The park and pool within the accommodation was clean and tidy staff very relaxed with rules within reason .

We travelled to stay along with 4 other family groups and stay each year, we have also rebooked for next year and are looking forward to our stay.

Hi Jessica, Thank you for taking time to review your stay. It sounds like you had an enjoyable stay & it's great that your family & friends have rebooked for next year. All of our 2-bedroom units are prepared for 4 guests & we regret we did not notice that your reservation stated 2 adults & 3 children, as we would have included a 5th bath towel. Hopefully you popped into reception to let us know you needed another towel. Change for the laundry is available at reception & reception hours are from 8am to 4.30pm Monday to Saturday. We also provide an afterhours phone number to contact our manager outside of these hours, in the case of an emergency. Our staff are here to provide a service to our guests, so please come & see us if there is anything you need during your future stay. Many of our units are equipped with dishwashers. If you would like a unit with a dishwasher for next year's visit, please contact us to discuss your options. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.

Great place for a family stay. Good facilities, pool, laundry etc.
short walk across the road to the beach!
The room was a good size and had everything we needed. We could have used more face washers, dish liquid and toilet paper. We booked for 3 people for 5 nights and only had one face washer, 2 toilet rolls and one little sachet of dish liquid. It was fine we just went and bought some more, that was the only thing I would critique. Other than that, 10/10! We will be back.

Stayed in Unit 25 for 2 nights on October school holiday with my family (2 adults and 2 teens).

2 bedroom was perfect for us, bedroom1 is queen bed and bedroom2 is two single bed. Beds are firm and comfortable enough. Spacious bathroom, living room with large lounge to fit us all (this is also a sofa bed as the unit can fit 6 adults), fully equipped kitchen and 4 seater dining table. There’s also outdoor table and chairs. Free Wi-Fi was not strong enough from our units so we just used our own data which worked out fine for us. There’s also a Dolce Nespresso machine and they supplied 4 pods for our stay.

The resort have heated pool, jumping pillow, bbq facilities and across Fingal bay beach. There’s also a cafe across the road called Longboat cafe and Saltwater restaurant.

We ate dinner at Gianna’s restaurant in Shoal bay which I highly recommend. We ate at West diggers which was just ok. Ate lunch at Bubs Famous Fish and Chips at Nelsons Bay - pricey so next time we would just walk up the main streets which had cheaper fish n chips takeaway.

A must do is walk up to Tomaree Summit Walk. It’s only 1km up but great views at the top.

This is the second time we have stayed at Seaside Holiday Resort and both units we have stayed in have been great, clean and comfortable. Both units have been very close to the pool. We would stay here again next time we would come to Port Stephens as it’s great price for members.

This is our fifth year in a row that we have holidayed here and we are booked in for the next two years. The location is second to none. De-Anne and her staff are always helpful friendly and go out of there way to do whatever they can to make our holiday a happy experience for everyone. The pool is always clean and inviting and the units are clean with very comfortable furnishings and it is easy to make yourself at home and we do as we come for three weeks each year. The laundry is clean also.The beach and a children's playground are across the road and there is a good little shopping strip very close by with the best fish and chip and homemade pies in Port Stephens.

Well run and managed resort. Excellent maintained grounds and pool.
Great deal if you are a member of Revesby Workers club, quite a considerable saving from non members price.
Upstairs unit 56 was very private, kitchen well stocked including coffee pod machine.
Easy walk into Shoal Bay along pathway {watch out for snakes}
Excellent dining all within walking distance. Must try the food at the Liquor store, fabulous and at The Longboat opposite.
Will be back again.
