2. Little Beach Boathouse

Doris12271227A famous restaurant in Port Stephens. It's right by the sea and has a nice view. It's crowded so it's best to book in advance. I didn't have much impression of the appetizers. The main dishes of steak and fish were pretty good. The dessert was grilled peaches which was a bit funny.

11. V Buffet

zhweieiLocated in Nelson Bay, Macquarie Harbour, the price is relatively high. The lunch price is not expensive but the food is good. The seafood includes prawns and mussels, and the quality of the prawns is very good. There are also many choices of dishes, and there is also a chocolate bar. If you pass by during your journey, this is a good choice for a stop and meal.

12. Honeysuckle Hotel

梦露夫人20250416 9:00am We reluctantly bid farewell to Sydney Central Coast and rushed to the City of Newcastle. We passed by this Newcastle when we traveled around the east coast in 2022. That day, the wind was high and the waves were fierce, and I was almost blown into the sea. Although I didn't stay for too long, it left a deep impression on me. Its beautiful scenery made me miss it and often wanted to have a chance to see it again. This time I finally had time and specially arranged this trip. This visit really fulfilled my wish. The afternoon sun was warm and bright, and the indispensable sea breeze was still blowing but much weaker. The passage leading to the beacon tower was shining with golden light under the sun. On the right hand side were endless golden sand dunes, and various piled stones. Those stones were engraved with words and patterns, and some even had biblical stories. There were also beautiful vegetation with yellow and purple flowers blooming, which made people love. We walked back and forth, sighing at the beautiful scenery again, and after a short rest, we said goodbye to this beautiful and rich city. The next destination is the wine-producing area of New South Wales. Newcastle's location: on the east coast of New South Wales, Australia, located at the mouth of the Hunter River, about 162 kilometers northeast of Sydney, with direct intercity train access.

14. Mattara Hotel

PHP782Bars/Bistros

TheForkUserAbsolutely love The Mattara. I am a regular patron (at least twice a month) for both lunch and dinner and the reason for this is the excellent and friendly service I always receive from the dedicated staff. Menu has something for everyone and I've never left there feeling hungry. In fact there's so much left, a doggy bag is always provided. I can highly recommend the Mattara as a family friendly hotel with delicious food and professional bar and food service. 10/10
