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 Unfortunately, it was also the most outdated—reminiscent of a 1970s California motel.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.
