Mantra Nelson Bay

Mantra Nelson Bay is a four-star apartment hotel in central Nelson Bay, Newcastle, with 110 self-contained apartments spread across three buildings. Its location makes it a convenient base for exploring Port Stephens, with the Nelson Bay marina around a five-minute walk away and local amenities and activities within easy reach.

Accommodation ranges from one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom penthouses. Some apartments include balconies, while the water-aspect penthouses have ocean views. Apartment layouts vary, with options including resort, pool, garden and water views, as well as two-bathroom configurations and space for up to seven guests. Coffee and tea-making facilities and air conditioning are available among the listed comforts.

The property is centred around a lagoon-style pool and spa, with a solar-heated outdoor pool, heated spa, fitness centre, two barbecue areas, secure undercover parking and electric vehicle charging. A children’s water fountain area adds a family-friendly feature. The range of apartment sizes suits families and groups wanting more room than a standard hotel room, while the central position also works for couples or solo travellers looking to explore Nelson Bay and the wider Port Stephens area. Nearby activities mentioned by the hotel include whale watching, parasailing, scuba diving at Broughton Island, quad biking and swimming with dolphins.
