Why it's worth checking out
d'Albora Nelson Bay Marina sits on Teramby Road in Nelson Bay, in the beautiful Port Stephens area north of Newcastle. A lively marina precinct, it's become a much-loved destination — combining a working marina with waterfront dining, bars, shops and lovely views over the bay and the boats, all in a relaxed, holiday setting.
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful waterfront location, a good range of food, drinks and shopping, and the relaxed buzz of a marina precinct, ideal for a meal by the water, a wander, drinks with a view or jumping on a cruise or tour. It captures the easygoing Port Stephens mood perfectly, with plenty to see and do right on the water.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,100 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The venues, shops, tour operators and opening hours vary, so it's worth checking what's on before a special trip — though for a relaxed waterfront meal, a drink or a stroll by the marina, it's often just a matter of heading down and soaking up the atmosphere at Nelson Bay.
