Tea Gardens Hotel Bistro

Many people go to Port Stephens for a day trip, and they leave after seeing the dolphins on the boat. If you have time to stay in Port Stephens for a few more days, I sincerely recommend you to go to Tea Gardens and take a day trip to Tea Gardens. Tea Gardens is a very quiet town. Port Stephens has a ferry to and from Tea Gardens. You can go to Port Stephens Visitor Information Center to buy round-trip tickets. We have three adults and one child (under 12 years old), and the ticket is $145 in total. The ferry is a very retro small ferry, and there are not many passengers. The journey takes one hour, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. If you are lucky, you can also see dolphins, saving the time and cost of watching dolphins on the boat alone. It is recommended that you choose to go to Tea Gardens in the morning. After getting off the boat, you can go directly to the Tea Gardens Hotel in the town for a drink and lunch. There are no non-alcoholic cocktails on the wine list of the hotel bar, but we still asked the guy (the guy is very handsome), and the guy said that I will make you a non-alcoholic cocktail, which is super nice. The club also serves food, but burgers, fish and chips cannot be eaten in the air-conditioned room on the bar side, but only in the dining area. There is no air conditioning in the dining area, only a large ceiling fan, which is a bit hot, but also within an acceptable range. When we went to order food, we happened to meet a few local grandmas gathering. The food they ordered looked pretty good, so we asked what it was. They introduced that it was fish and chips made from a local fish called Flat Head, which was very delicious. We ordered the same one without hesitation, and it really didn't fall into the trap. After enjoying the local food, you have plenty of time to stroll around the town. There is a very good home furnishings store in the town, and the owner is a Russian beauty who has lived in China. There is a gallery with many interesting paintings and artworks on display and for sale. When you are tired of strolling, you can sit on the beach and watch the gods and seabirds. There are no attractions to check in in the town, but you can experience the quiet and comfortable slow life of the locals here. Some of them may have never been to any big city or been abroad, but through talking to them, you will feel that they are full of happiness in life. This sense of happiness can be passed on, so that you can also leave Tea Gardens with this sense of happiness and return to your own life full of vitality.
