Best places: Sports in Shoal Bay, Australia

👍👍 D'albora Nelson Bay is just a fantastic marina. Not only is it in one of the most beautiful harbours you'd ever want to visit, it has great cafes and restaurants, a good workshop, lift, excellent facilities and very friendly staff. I had a longer than expected stop due to mechanical issues, and the...

👍 Lovely place to go for a lunch or dinner with some friends or family. The pork belly is fantastic. Service is good. Loads of space and a great view during the day.

😠 It’s nearly 2020 - cash only is ridiculous unless you’re not paying your taxes / employees

🫤 Let's go somewhere else to adventure. In order of subjective importance: 1) Some of the hire gear was in very average condition - the plastic bracket holding my tank literally shattered when I was gearing up for the first dive and there were NO spare BCDs on the boat (seriously) so had to make do...

Bright apartments with kitchens & washer/dryers, plus view of the resort's 18-hole golf course.

😠 Disgusting service. Been a long time member of anytime fitness and never had any issues Australia wide. Attempted to train with a friend who was willing to pay a casual fee as we always do at multiple AF clubs. Met at the door by a staff member who advised not to worry about payment, to train, and t...

😐 Came here a couple of times on a recent holiday. It's a nice place to eat and the staff are friendly. However, I didn't enjoy my caesar salad because the chicken I paid an extra $6 for was poor quality, cold and tasted like fish. Usually when you pay to add chicken you get lovely grilled chicken, s...

👍👍 Last night of our holidays and we decided to go to Nelson Bay Bowling & Recreation Club for dinner. The restaurant is called Marlins on the Bay. We walked in the front door and the lady doing reception was very helpful. Explained the restaurant was upstairs just to the left or there is an elevator f...

😠 My family and I have just moved to the area and we were excited to have dinner at our local club and support them. We went for dinner on the 14/10 and was abruptly met with the doorman, he was rude and patronizing claiming that he had already asked if I was a member or not. I said no as I was out of...

👍👍 Pool was heated and the water was crystal clear. Not busy with plenty of parking.

👍👍 I cannot recommend Our Gym highly enough. The membership options are impressively flexible, catering to a range of individual needs and schedules, which is an absolute godsend in today's fast-paced world. They also offer casual for holidaymakers. Not only is the gym extremely convenient and accommo...

👍👍 Great gym with plenty of equipment. Heaps of squat racks, deadlifting platforms and benches. Even in peak hour I never need to wait for equipment. Staff and other patrons are friendly and keep the place neat and tidy.
