LEE WHARF PONTOON

NOVA Cruises utilise the commercial vessel facilities at Lee Wharf, Newcastle. Lee Wharf Pontoon offers a safe place for boarding and disembarking the vessel in all weather conditions. There is plenty of long term parking for both cars and coaches, and it is only a short 300m stroll from Civic Station. Surrounding Lee Wharf is an abundance of trendy restaurants, take aways, and coffee shops.

The vessel facilities at Lee Wharf are located next to the Maritime Museum & Visitor Information Centre, in front of the building at Number 5 Honeysuckle Drive which houses SUBWAY, Sydney Seaplanes, and Hog's Breath Cafe.
