Right next door to Shoal Bay Country Club is the Shoal Bay Resort and Spa, a brand new venue offering a variety of accommodation right by the beach.
There are many accommodation options available, including the Barrington Tower self-contained apartments, with kitchen, spa bathrooms and balconies.
There's also the Seaspray Villas, a two bedroom self-contained Mediterranean-style townhouse, as well as the Breakwater Towers apartments, which are two and three bedroom apartments with gorgeous views of Tomaree headlands.
No matter what you choose, all guests have full use of the spas and pools in the resort.
Aqua Spa is a $5.5 million state-of-the art health and beauty centre, featuring a 25 metre lap pool, three spa pools, a fully equipped gymnasium and racquet ball court as well as a hairdresser, doctor's surgery and an amazing Yon-Ka Treatment Centre.
Still relatively unknown in Australia, Yon-Ka was created to offer natural skin care with integrated botanical science. Each product combines many different types of flower, plant, tree, seed, fruit and marine extracts to leave your skin feeling completely refreshed.
Shoal Bay Resort also has a range of restaurants, including the Big Fish, which is reputably Port Stephen's premier seafood restaurant. This hot spot offers great views of the bay and has a daily menu of fresh local fish.
For an alternative to seafood, try The Promenade Restaurant, which serves a traditional style buffet as well as a seafood buffet every night.
