Dutchies | Dog beach 300m, 55"TV, WiFi, Heating
The house was very nice and in a great location for anyone with dog's. Only 5 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach and half an hour's walk into town. As we haven't been to the area before, Clare's recommendations of things to do were excellent for the whole family.

Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Our stay at the Redhead Beach House was fantastic. The house itself was well designed, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with a platter and wine waiting for us and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Great selection of board games, table tennis and arcade game meant there was plenty to do when we were at the house. The area was beautiful and quiet. A great beach over the road - both our 11 year old daughter and our dog loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you Natalie and Collin for your hospitality.

Unique lakefront glamping site
We had a wonderful weekend stay at this beautiful cabin! The location was perfect — right next to the lake, and just a short walk from the Indian Coffee House restaurant, which was a great bonus. The cabin itself was very well-organized, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The peaceful surroundings and proximity to nature made it the ideal getaway. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and conveniently located retreat.

Beachside apartment in the heart of Newcastle
We had a really comfortable stay in Warwick's apartment. Everything is as described, great location, quiet, easy, and Warwick is great to deal with. Even though it's freezing outside the apartment stays warm. Would stay again.

Caves Beach House
The house was brilliant! Superb location, perfect for any combination of people. Sue's communication was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Thankyou Sue.

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
Spacious and tidy house, view was amazing!

Merewether modern beachside studio loft
Elizabeth’s loft is just perfect - and she is a wonderful and really helpful host. The space is super clean and comfortable and it has everything you might need, including a well-equipped kitchen and a work desk if you’re in town for business. The location is simply superb being so close to the beach, the best ocean baths ever, great coffee, yoga (at the surf club a short walk away) and the list goes on. Loved my stay!

Torodes - beautiful beachhouse with ocean views
This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Seaside Holiday Resort Fingal Bay - by the beach
Great overnight stay. The lady in reception was very welcoming and informative. Clean and quiet. Will be back.

Waterfront Penthouse+Jacuzzi+BBQ
What an amazing place to stay with family, the apartment is so beautifully decorated with attention to detail and very clean. The rooftop jacuzzi with amazing views is truly remarkable! The host Neha was super helpful with any questions we had and easy to communicate with. Overall I give this place a 10/10 and I highly recommend. Thankyou Neha

Little Beach Holiday Apartment.
Narelle’s place is situated perfectly 2 mins walk from beautiful Little Beach and other attractions/activities in this area of Port Stephens. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you may possibly need as well as games and rackets for the tennis court. Parking was available on site. Additionally Narelle was quick to respond to any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Narelle’s place. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Breathtaking Luxe Penthouse - perfect escape
Very relaxing place to spend a week or weekend. Has everything and walking distance to everything

CAVES BEACH Wellness Retreat - luxury Guest Suite
Nicole’s place was a lovely stay for my small family. Nicole is a great host who left us plenty of recommendations and some treats in the fridge as well as some breakfast staples which is great when staying somewhere. We would stay here again!

the best view in town
Bernadette’s place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

Bateau Bay Beach Retreat
We just LOVED this place. cosy, beautifully presented- with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. The only bad thing about this home was that we couldn't stay longer. We would love to come stay again in the future, if Gwendoline would have us. Thanks so much- the De Caux family 🙏 ❤️✨️

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Spectacular & Uninterrupted Ocean View! Seashack!
What a lovely place! I couldn't recommend this stay more. It was such a relaxing weekend, and we will definitely be back. The hosts were incredibly friendly and quick to respond, the house was beautifully styled and cozy.

By The Bay | 5mins to Beach/Walking Trail
Awesome place. Clean and tidy, nicely renovated. Very close to town, cafes and restaurants all with walking distance. Was perfect for 2 couples and a young child. Everything we needed. Highly recommend. Thanks

Oceanfront Villa: 6BR Beach Home - Waterfront
Everything great except we were told that there was an issue with the hot tub which they left us some beers and adjusted our check out, which we appreciated! Lovely place!

Stunning 1-2 bedroom luxury Oceanside apartment
Great news place to stay, very welcoming, clean and well situated. Will be back.

Cozy cottage close to beach
Stephan's place is lovely. My wife loved the decor. Some very pretty touches that helps to make you feel relaxed and in a home away from home. Convenient location for what we wanted to see and do in Nelson Bay. 15 minute walk along the bay foreshore to the shopping centre and marina. Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll be back around the same time next year.

Modern beach house
Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a perfect location. It’s like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Granny’s Pool. The outdoor dining area was our favourite place to sit and enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax for dinner in complete privacy. The amenities are modern and everything you need - we didn’t want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!

Sojourn at the Cove - opposite Heros Beach
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.

Coastal Luxe - Beachfront - Car space - Reduced!
We had an excellent stay at Coastal Luxe. It was super easy to check in, the apartment was as described, and Clayton and Jasmine were very responsive and provided clear instructions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
