OVERVIEW

Dolphin Shores is a small, modern absolute waterfront accommodation overlooking Port Stephens. Located right on the water along the most popular stretch of waterfront in the Bay known as the Golden Mile by locals - enjoy your own piece of paradise. This is a modern and fresh appealing ground-floor apartment. Its finishes and furnishing are of a high standard and would appeal to the particular traveler. It is centrally located in the Port Stephens for all tourist attractions and just 3 minute's drive in each direction are the main shopping haunts - Salamander Shopping Centre and Nelson Bay Town Center - awash with restaurants and cafes.

WHAT TYPES OF GUESTS STAY AT Dolphin Shores

DOLPHIN-SHORES attracts both FAMILIES of up to 4 and COUPLES, who want to feel connected with the outdoors both for relaxing and water activity. The property's boundary is 8 meters from the water's edge. Between the water and the alfresco is a flat, green lawn reserve which makes an ideal area for children to play. Spotting our local Dolphin families at high tide from the property is a daily occurrence. For all-day beach play and safe swimming, Corlette Beach is 50 meters away from the back door. A children's park/playground is located 100 meters from the property along the foreshore.
Previous guests have fed back, they love how central the property is to family tourist attractions and activities at the Port.
Due to the close proximity to the waterfront CHILDREN NEED ADULT SUPERVISION AT ALL TIMES
A full compendium with tourist information/activities and places to eat is available in the apartment to better plan your stay.

Dolphin Shores is ideal for COUPLES - want a romantic getaway, providing modern accommodation. The luxury 'Lucca Day Spa' is located on a 5-minute beach-side walk away at ‘The Anchorage’ Marina and Restaurant. Take a walk by the water and beachside into Nelson Bay Marina, a wonderful romantic 30 min walk brimming with natural sights, giving you some of the best views of the Port along the way. Or for the active couple, cycle from the property's door along Bartlett Cycle-way into Nelson Bay - see Google Maps.

ACCESSIBILITY -the property also attracts guests who want to be on the ground floor, without stairs with easy access. Two steps up into the front door. Back entrance- level with the ground. The Master en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. Unfortunately, the internal floor plan would not be wheelchair friendly.

WHAT IS THE BED CONFIGURATION (Full Linen Supplied - bathroom toweling, sheets, etc).

Master Bedroom - is small with a Queen bed, topper for extra comfort, and its own EN-SUITE BATHROOM and air-conditioning.

Second Bedroom - Twin beds - 1 x single and 1 x king single
Baby Port-a-cot + baby high-chair - available

SECOND BATHROOM - Located conveniently opposite the second bedroom with bath and shower. It also has a washing machine and dryer concealed in cabinetry.

WHAT ARE THE LIVING AREAS
Dolphin Shores' cosy Lounge and Dining area has views of the water from any aspect as the property is only meters from the water's edge of stunning Port Stephens. Watch boats come and go from the comfort of the corner modular lounge or watch the smart flat-screen TV. The modern kitchen is well equipped- oven, microwave, coffee machine (Nescafe or like, compatible pods) and welcome supplies of tea and coffee and condiments. (This is NOT a serviced apartment therefore exhausted supplies beyond a 2-night stay are not replenished)

Additionally, there is a separate TV Room (2nd TV) with a lounge, DVD player/DVD library for cosy family viewing or ideal for creating some kid-only space.

OUTDOOR LIVING

Step out of the lounge/dining area onto the large OUTDOOR ALFRESCO AREA for 180-degree uninterrupted water views. A beautifully manicured mowed lawn exists (nature reserve) between the property's back alfresco area and the waterfront. The outdoor area has a Northerly aspect. During summer, a large gum tree sheds shade over the dining area in time for lunch. During the winter months, with the sun low, the alfresco area receives all-day sun which flows right through into the internal lounge/dining area making this property inviting for all seasons.

    Our second time here.It's less busy than Nelson Bay and the views and closeness to the water help to relax you.To save on taxis/Ubers which aren't easy to get at Christmas time, we caught the bus (located at the front door) into Nelson Bay at night for our dining out.The Sanook Thai ,that is a short walk across the road is always a favourite.Accomodation is always clean and tidy and as it was a revisit, we knew where everything was, so the hosts didn't need contacting.Their notes by sms, previous to arrival, were clear and easy to understand. Pictures advertising the property were correct.We'll be back.

    Enjoyed a relaxing break in this very clean and modern accommodation. Lovely location looking out to the water and for leisurely flat walks, short drive to swimming beach and shopping centres.

    Very beautiful location ..the host graciously let us check in early and check out a bit late which was super helpful especially when travelling with an 18 month old. Loved the property..very well stocked. We actually spotted the dolphins during our stay which was special and memorable. Super convenient location and great food options around. Would definitely stay here again.

    My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing two week stay in this bright, clean and spacious apartment. Wonderful waterfront views of dolphins and beach in back yard. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending it and hope to be back before too long. Only a four minute drive to major grocery shopping and handy small grocery and delicious Thai food a block away. The owner was very responsive and helpful with a small issue upon arrival.
