The TOP 10 BEST Wedding Reception Venues in Shoal Bay NSW

Visited the Club after moving interstate 3 years ago. The Club decor and funishings are superb and the Gaming Room equally furnished superb. Meals were ok as was the price. Staff were friendly and attentive and beer was very cold. Will call again next visit down that way.

Awesome atmosphere - great beach side view for a cold sunset beer.

Visiting from Sydney. Ordered slow baked lamb shank $41...meat tough and hard to remove from bone..advised manager..not interested. Waited to order a dessert but no service ..so we left. My partner enjoyed the marinara pasta. .

An amazing experience saw lots of whales, seals and dolphins. The crew were friendly and helpful keeping everyone informed where the whales were and then later pointing out the seals which were a little harder to spot. I would recommend Moonshadow Cruises for an unforgettable experience

Amanda did a wonderful and professional job catering for my husband's 70th last weekend at the holiday house we rented. Everything was beautifully prepared, delivered on time and Lee gave specific instructions about how to reheat and present the food. All the family raved about the dishes she had prepared for us and we had lots to take home as well! I would DEFINITELY recommend Amanda Douglass Catering and will certainly use her again in the future for any get together or celebration. The price was more than reasonable for the service provided and it was great to meet her in person on the Monday when she arrived to collect her bowls, utensils etc. Thank you Amanda for creating a great showcase of dishes for the occasion. PS I would certainly also look at your family real estate business for future holiday rentals as the agent we used last weekend was woeful. Kind regards Vikky Trotter

Had a lovely lunch with a large group at Soldiers Point Bowling Club yesterday. There were nine of us and we all enjoyed our meals. The staff were lovely and the service was great. We also didn't have too wait too long for our meals. Will definitely be back. Narelle

Had dinner one night on spec. Very busy for a Monday but they squeezed us in. The food was well cooked and presented. It’s a family run business and the great service seems to reinforce that. Highly recommend. Stewart

My husband and I stayed at The Retreat Port Stephens, recently. Friendly and helpful staff, accommodating our very late check-in and the accommodation was lovely and clean. Close to the sand dunes and main attractions, yet peaceful and quiet allowing us to have good R&R. Claudio

What a perfect place for a special function. We were welcomed by the staff and made to feel like nothing was a bother. The food was superb, even being told it was a limited menu - the food was outstanding and all my guests enjoyed themselves. Please support this wonderful business. Rochelle

One of the best kept secrets in Port Stephens ... As a coeliac with other food allergies, it can be a 'frustrating' time choosing where to dine, but the 'Cookaburra' staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The service was fantastic, the food was divine and the setting awesome ...

I booked with James for 9 for a lunch to celebrate my wife's 85 Birthday on 25 August. The round table was beautifully presented with white linen, sparkling glassware, shining cutlery, water jugs and a posy of blooms at the centre. The staff provided table service and were most helpful and attentive especially Sarah who was in charge. Our guests included grandaughters and boyfriends, mum and dad and Poppy (father-in-law). We all enjoyed our gathering immensely, thanks to the excellent amenities, service and food, all at a cost which I thought very good value. Congratulations Greenhouse Guys for making it such a memorable occasion.
