How to go to Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay from Airport

Navigating your way from the airport to Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay is a breeze with several convenient options. Whether you're after speed, affordability, or a bit of both, here's a breakdown of how to get to your hotel. Consider these hotel transfer options to make your journey seamless.
  • Taxi or Ride Hailing (Most Direct):

    A taxi or ride-hailing service offers the most direct route from Newcastle Airport (NTL) to Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay. The journey typically takes around 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic. This is a great option if you have a lot of luggage or prefer a door-to-door service.
  • Private Airport Transfer (Pre-booked Convenience):

    Pre-booking a private airport transfer ensures a hassle-free experience. A driver will meet you at the airport and take you directly to the hotel. This is ideal for families or those seeking a comfortable and stress-free journey.
  • Rental Car (Freedom to Explore):

    Renting a car at Newcastle Airport gives you the freedom to explore Port Stephens at your own pace. The drive to Shoal Bay is straightforward, and having a car allows you to easily visit nearby attractions.
  • Public Transportation (Budget-Friendly):

    While not the most direct, public transportation is the most affordable option. You'll need to take a bus from the airport to a central location like Newcastle Interchange, then transfer to another bus heading towards Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. This option requires more time and planning.

Tips:

For the most convenient route, consider a taxi or ride-hailing service if you prioritize speed and directness.

Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful I spilt some nail polish on the floor at 3:15 approximately on Monday and I immediately reported it to reception. No one came before I left for an appointment at 4:10pm that day. Next morning I rang reception as the iron wasn’t working at around 7:45am and asked for a working iron and again reported about the nail polish on the floor. Around 9am I again rang reception regarding the iron as well as the nail polish that I had spilt on the floor on Monday! Eventually I had to get dressed - without being able to iron my outfit as no one had bought the iron to my room. As well they had not come to check out the nail polish spill ! When I checked out, I returned my “keys” to reception and mentioned that no replacement iron was delivered to my room and no one had been to look at the nail polish spill. I was given an apology regarding the iron and informed someone had been to the room and tried to remove the nail polish, without success, as the polish was dry by that time. The receptionist also told me that Romada had a carpet cleaner and would use that and there would be no additional costs It’s disappointing that I had to call reception numerous occasions regarding thes issues

Would have been better had there been no smokers on their balconies. We could not enjoy the great view from our balcony that we paid extra for because of most of the rooms next to us had smokers and were smoking on their balconies. We were never told this was permissible.

The hotel is part owner units. My unit was really difficult to get to, out the main entrance, through a car park, up 2 sets of stairs (no lift) and down a hallway where there is another car park. Phones didn’t work in room. No daily service. Staff were really nice though!

Lovely resort, well maintained and across the road from the beach. Our hotel room was clean, comfortable, roomy and had a very well appointed kitchenette. The pool area was lovely and catered for a variety of ages. There was also an indoor lap pool and spa upstairs. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We will definitely be returning.
