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.

Fantastic stay
The check in process was seamless and contactless. The unit itself was great for a family of 4 with a dog and the location is excellent with a short 50 metre walk to the beach and the main shopping strip. We had a great stay at Shoal Bay and I highly recommend staying at these units. I look forward to returning.
