The room was very pleasant, comfortable, clean, compact, with a view of trees and bay and a friendly kookaburra! The bathroom door was flimsy, the wifi was weak and there was no saucer for used teabags, otherwise 5 stars

I Found a very limited Food & Drinks menu (3 x red wines) and for what they were not really diverse enough but certainly didn't miss on the pricing. The rooms for what you pay are limited in information and size compared to other places i have stayed. not a great start was told i was probably going to have to park in the bottom car park BUT, was NOT told that there was a lift to get back up, the hill is a killer! Summary, i can't think of another word but overrated would need convincing to stay again.

We stayed five nights across various properties in the Port Stephens and Hunter Valley areas. This property was by far the most expensive, which naturally set higher expectations. Unfortunately, it was also the most outdated—reminiscent of a 1970s California motel. We paid a premium for a “not partial” ocean view room, but as the attached photos show, the view felt more partial than advertised—though admittedly, it could have been worse. While the service was good, it didn’t stand out compared to the other places we stayed, so we didn’t feel particularly special. That said, Port Stephens itself was a fantastic destination. The hotel’s poolside area offered partial bay views, enjoyable drinks, and tasty Mexican food, which we appreciated. Regarding Rick Stein, we weren’t aware of him or his connection to the property (if any) or its restaurant beforehand. As such, the premium price tied to his name didn’t resonate with us and felt unjustified. Overall, while there were some highlights, the experience was underwhelming, especially given the cost.
