The area is very racist, most of the locals don't like the tourists. I have stayed in most parts around the Bay and by far Soldiers point is still number one. You need to swallow your tongue in Corlette and just ignore the rudeness of the so called rich folk, who are not that rich. My 20yr old son is worth more than most of them. down by the water is the best accommodation if you can find one and hope the neighbour is barrable

This location is a seaside suburb that is also a tourist town. It would appear to me that it is set up for the holidays when people come in numbers in the warmer months. It would be good for families as there are activities for the kids and beaches all around. The area is easy to get around and most facilities are reasonably close, so there wasn't too many issues with navigation or driving long distances when you are there. Mid week has the retired people frequenting the lookouts, cafe's and attractions, which is good as it keeps the businesses running and the locals in a job. I am not a beach goer, but for those that are, the beaches I saw seem to be good for families. An interesting place and it is quite attractive.

Loved it. There is a great walk along the foreshore to take you to up to Nelson Bay. It’s a beautiful part of the world. Close to Sydney, peaceful, scenic with lovey white sandy beaches with warm water.

Corlette is a peaceful residential area of Port Stephens, central to most areas, including Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay and Soldiers Point. It is a five to ten minute drive into the centre of Nelson Bay, and about the same to the Salamander Bay shopping centre.

Beautiful place in close proximity to beach, shops and attractions. We walked to the beach and loved exploring the rock pools at Anna bay. So much to do in the area and locals are friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

The place was good and comfortable. The host was welcoming and provided us great tips for navigation for us first timers at Port Stephens. We enjoyed the equipment and space and bedding was comfortable. My family had a good and pleasant stay.
