Shoal Bay Retreat
This was our first stay at this grest dog-friendly accommodation. The absolute biggest asset is the accommodation's location, less than 5 minutes walk to everything you need. Beautiful beaches, cafes, dog beach, country club. The accommodation is extremely well equipped, it has everything you need. Both bedrooms are a great size, bathroom is very spacious, kitchen is large. The lounge room is on the small side for a family of 4 including 2 teenagers, however the large outside deck compensates for this. We stated here in late January, 22nd- 28th. We will definitely return to this accommodation.

Nice Place in Shoal Bay
We had our four nights stay in Shoal Bay retreat with our pet dog Lexi. It is a nice place. Very close to city centre and other Nelson bay locations. Really enjoyed the outdoor area in the evenings. No problem of recommending this place.
