A new venue has opened in popular New South Wales beachside destination Nelson Bay in Port Stephens following a $300,000 overhaul.

Formerly Vues at the Bay, the new Broughtons at the Bay, owned by d’Albora Marinas, will host conferences, weddings and functions for 240 seated or 300 standing guests. There are also spaces available for smaller groups.

Its marina-side location and floating pontoon are expected to make the venue popular with those planning an event by the water.

“You can’t beat the waterside, dress-circle location of Broughtons at the Bay,” d”Albora Marina Events manager Deborah Stretton said.

“The panorama is inspiring but yes, it could distract some guests, so speakers will need to offer compelling presentations to compete with the view!”

Stretton revealed the first conference will take place at the facility on October 31 with 80 delegates, with a number of other bookings and enquiries already received.

Meanwhile, Destination Port Stephens chief executive Janelle Gardner welcomed the opening of Broughtons and said it would significantly enhance the region’s events appeal.

“This new, first class facility will provide happy and rewarding memories for many guests and provide a major boost to the local visitor economy.”
