Located in the heart of the blue water paradise of Port Stephens ‘Di and Jim’s B&B’ is just an easy stroll to nearby Bagnalls Beach. There are so many options for having either a relaxing or busy stay.

Walk West along the beautiful beach to the 5 star Anchorage Resort and take in a magnificent sunset. Walk East from Bagnalls Beach all the way to the marina at Nelson Bay with shops and restaurants galore.

From the marina your options are endless with pleasure boats offering everything from a 2 hour dolphin cruise (the kids will love the boom net and slippery dip off the side of the boat!); a ferry ride to Tea Gardens (with the best fish and chips at the pub) or a day cruise to the pristine Broughton Island where you will see an abundance of wildlife and the most beautiful beach you can ever imagine!

From June to November you can experience what Port Stephens is world famous for… whale spotting! Travel out the heads and follow the whales while they make their annual migration up and down the Pacific Coast.

For those who like adventure try your luck deep sea fishing or perhaps scuba diving, kayaking or even take a helicopter ride along our spectacular coastline. June is also the time of our annual Country Music Festival. A walk to the top of spectacular Tomaree Mountain is a must. This is an easy one hour walk - even for the kids and oldies! On the way down you can take a detour to see the gunnery ruins, American relics from the Second World War. Fingal Bay with its beautiful family surf beach is another must. From here take a walk along the beach over The Spit (at low tide only!) to explore Fingal Island and the old lighthouse. And then if you have any time remaining… visit Stockton Sand Dunes where the action and activities are endless – camel rides, sand boarding, 4 wheel drive tours or just slide down the dunes on an old piece of cardboard. Not to mention our very own wineries that you pass on your way into town. If all else fails, jump in our spa, read a book and just relax!
