Where to eat and stay in Nelson Bay

44 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Nelson Bay, New South Wales — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 44 venues in Nelson Bay — 33 places to eat and 11 to stay. That makes it the 66th-largest of the 1903 towns and suburbs we cover in New South Wales, carrying 0% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 33% are cafés against a national figure of 30%. That is close to the New Zealand norm — Nelson Bay eats roughly the way the country does. The full split is 11 cafés, 12 restaurants, 8 takeaways and 2 pubs.

20 of the 33 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are pizza (5), italian (3) and fish and chips (2). Relative to the rest of the country Nelson Bay is unusually strong on italian and pizza — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.

On the practical detail: 3 publish opening hours (7%), 5 are recorded as step-free and 7 have outdoor seating. That trails the 17% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, Nelson Bay runs to 11 listings — 3 hotels, 6 motels, 1 b&bs and guest houses and 1 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 55% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Bondi Junction (44), Caringbah (44), Beenleigh (44) and Gawler (44) — average 5% accommodation. Nelson Bay runs at 25%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 44 venues in Nelson Bay carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
