Just doing some research for a 3 night trip from Sydney in January. I am thinking of heading up to Port Stephens.

However, as I am on my own I thought I might stay in a hostel so I can meet people. The two hostels I have found are Melaleuca at One Mile Beach and a YHA which doesn't look like it's near the sea.

Has anyone stayed at these or does anyone know the area? Was thinking of Melaleuca but not sure if there is anything (shops/restaurants/bars) nearby. Looks like Nelson Bay may be the best place to stay but can't see any hostels there?

It would be great if someone could help me!!!

The thread below has numerous information restaurants and places to stay. Also have a look on the reviews listed on TA for more details.

I'm sorry I have not stayed at the places you have mentioned. To me, the best place to stay is at The Shoal Bay Resort and Spa. The Wanders's is also supposed to be good for budget style.(listed below).
