And if you would like to enjoy that special wine you purchased at Port Stephens Winery or further afield in the Hunter Valley wine district of New South Wales, check that the restaurant you have booked is BYO.
BBQ and Picnic on Nelson Bay Beaches
The number one recommendation for lunch at Port Stephens and Nelson Bay is a BBQ or picnic in one of the many parks or at any of the beaches. Dutchies Beach, just a few minutes away from your accommodation, is a favourite for the shady lawn which runs down to a sandy beach and crystal clear water.
For the best view in town, it's hard to beat lunch at the Inner Light Tea Rooms - at the original lighthouse keeper's cottage (1875), atop Nelson Head on the NSW North Coast.
Make a day trip to the Hunter Valley and enjoy lunch in the magnificent surroundings of the vineyards, or try one of the many winery restaurants in the Hunter Valley wine country.
