Another surprise find on our recent Aussie trip, this was a fun stop!…read more I'm a massive coaster fan and had just discovered mountain coasters on our road trip through the U.S., so my expectations were high for this one. I'd really give it 3.5 stars, but I miss Australia so the nostalgia factor works in their favour here! Here's how it went: ++ Just the fact it was there..how many of these are there in Australia?? $10 per ride, simple and easy enough! - - I missed the thrill factor that I'd had with the best one in the U.S. in Massachusetts, probably because the track was wide open and straight without fun turns and a canopy of trees. All in all, it wasn't nearly as immersive. Magnum ice cream tasted wicked as always, and it is inexpensive outdoor entertainment, so we'd consider coming back here.

First year in Newcastle and despite the complaints and sabotages of the few; the many triumphed…read more Over 190,000 people over 3 days and I'm proud to say it was held in my home city. There is still plenty to be done in Newcastle with the light rail but public transport is the best bet for getting to the race. Parking is scarce and you will pay for it or park further away and walk in. Earplugs or earmuffs are a good idea for children but I didn't feel a need to put my plugs in. I wanted to hear everything! The backfires can make you jump though. There are plenty of toilets and food stalls. Merchandise available but particular items sold out. It's a large area so if you choose general admission over grandstand seating be prepared to do plenty of walking or get in early to secure a good spot and settle in for the day. Sunscreen, hat and umbrella a must. Shady spots were quickly snapped up with the perfect weather. Crowds are to be expected so take your time over the bridges and mind your footing. You will get where you're going eventually, just be patient. I'm far from a rev head nor do I possess much knowledge of cars but I really enjoyed the event. They are spectacular to watch and considering this is a street circuit and the roads are ordinarily 40-50km zones you really can appreciate the precision, reflexes and concentration that go in to making a Supercars driver.

Infested with Cockroaches, Filthy, Terrible Service, and Ridiculously Overpriced…read more I cannot even begin to describe how horrendous my stay at Nobby Beach Holiday Village was, especially with two small children. From the moment we arrived, it was a complete disaster. Especially after we paid $500 a night for it! Nobby Beach Holiday Village was ridiculously overpriced for the disgusting state it was in. We were placed in a "villa" at Nobby Beach Holiday Village that was absolutely infested with cockroaches--everywhere. They were in the rooms, in the bathroom, and even dead cockroaches in the hotel pool. My children were terrified and understandably so. Needless to say, it was extremely unhygienic. The level of filth and neglect was shocking, and it made the entire experience unbearable. The rooms at Nobby Beach Holiday Village were filthy--dust and grime in every corner. The air conditioning was leaking heavily, so we couldn't even use it with 30+ degrees outside, which made the room incredibly uncomfortable. The hob didn't work. Everything felt like it had been neglected for far too long. The customer service at Nobby Beach Holiday Village was an absolute joke. I was promised a 50% refund for all the issues, but three months later, I still haven't seen a penny. They've kept coming up with one excuse after another, like claiming I didn't provide my full credit card details, including the CVV number (which is an unsafe request and unnecessary). I even offered my bank account details for a bank transfer, and they completely ignored me. Booking.com has been absolutely useless in solving this issue. They offered a virtual card solution for Nobby Beach Holiday Village to refund, but the hotel still hasn't followed through. It's been an endless runaround, and no one at Nobby Beach Holiday Village or Booking.com seems to care or take responsibility for the situation. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Nobby Beach Holiday Village. It was a nightmare for my family, and the management has shown zero professionalism or integrity. There are plenty of great places to stay in the area, for the same price or less, where you can expect the least - a clean bed without cockroaches to sleep in.

Honestly, there was only one reason that I came here and that was because after a rather full on…read morestorm a boat happened to miss the entrance to the harbour and hit the beach instead. Well, boat is probably an understatement, rather I should say bulk grain carrier. Yeah, it was stuck here for quite a while, and ever since that event Nobby's Beach has always stuck in my mind as the beach with the bulk grain carrier. Yeah, I've seen it now, though there was no indication whatsoever that a ship has come ashore here.

Sadly, not a lot of wildlife said hello during our sunset tour but the sunset was amazing, as was the moon, and the water was so calm and beautiful! The kayak tour was broken up by a short break with wine/beer or juice provided by ecosports. For $35 it was definitely a steal and we'll be coming back again to kayak with them again soon!

Come for a walk, free BBQs, fish from the jetty, walk the dog, group sport or even just a snooze. A pleasure to relax here and unwind. Easy access to some great coffee and food across the road and other facilities that the esplanade has to offer. Very laid back and won't cost u a fortune. I think it's the third Saturday of the month they hold markets here too which add a brilliant dynamic and who can beat the live music on the Friday nights where you come and chill while running into those friends you plan to meet but never do. Lol
