Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Nelson Bay

We had a great stay here with our two dogs. Very pet friendly and close to shops etc.

Hands down the most beautiful and relaxing place we’ve ever stayed! Jenny and Scott have created an absolute haven . every detail so thoughtfully considered, every space inviting peace and stillness. From the breathtaking views to the calming ambiance, it felt like a true escape from the noise of everyday life. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming about our next visit. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Roger and Robyn came to welcome us and were nice enough to provide some basic ingredients for our first breakfast! We felt at home right away and the location was perfect. There were a few spiders and a cockroach during our stay, but it is to be expected in Australia! We loved the place overall ☺️

A beautiful house in a fantastic spot near Birubi beach and the Tomaree Coastal walk. The layout is great and the house is very stylish. The spa was awesome. Seem small at first but really deep and heats up within 2.5 hours. Plenty of space in the house for a family of 5. Walkable to Birubi beach (10 mins) which is patrolled with a cafe and is great for boogie boarding. Join the coastal walk only 1 min walk away, bring hiking boots as can be a bit muddy/rocky.

We had such a lovely stay at your home, Jane! Everything was warm, welcoming, and beautifully kept. Your thoughtful touches—especially the delicious chocolate waiting for us—truly made us feel special. Thank you for your hospitality and for creating such a cozy space. We’d love to stay again!

We had a gorgeous view and the cottage was very cosy throughout a rainy couple of days. It was the perfect base to use to explore all the Hunter has to offer. We loved it!

The apartment was beautifully decorated, clean and cozy. we appreciated the thoughtful touches, the check in was smooth and easy. Due to the cold weather, we did not explore the neighbourhood. thanks for helping us to adjust the home temperature. Your response is indeed super fast. thumb up.highly recommend. .

Lovely bright airy quiet house with a great backyard for pets. Walking distance from shops and the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved it here. The unit is close to all amenities, clean, tidy and has everything we need. This is our 9th time staying in Nelson Bay and we change places every time. This is the first place my husband said he wanted to come back again.

The location is good for a walkable distance of everything If you don’t mind climbing a steep hill and then walking up four flights of stairs. The apartment is fully equipped with all necessary amenities, and the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need—just like at home. Please note that the air conditioner is only located in the living room. Due to the apartment’s long and narrow layout, with the bedroom situated at the opposite end of a long hallway, the AC has no effect on the bedroom temperature. This results in two extreme temperature zones within the apartment. As the apartment is somewhat aged, its insulation and soundproofing are limited. You’ll need to be especially mindful to keep noise levels low in order to avoid disturbing the neighbours.

I treated my son and his girlfriend to a weekend getaway, and since it was their first trip to the area, Sue was incredibly helpful with recommendations that made their stay both smooth and enjoyable. The kids had a great time, and the place was exactly as described. If I ever make it to the area myself, I’ll definitely be staying here.

Lovely clean apartment would highly recommend

My friend and I had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weekend sans kids and husbands. I would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a relaxing stay, with magnificent views and in walking distance to all Shoal Bay has to offer, in Shoal Bay.

Perfect home away from home, close to the beach. Good communication with hosts. Bicycles are a nice addition to explore the area and EV charging port is super useful too.

Good central position. Easy walking to harbour and shopping centre Very spacious and well equipped

Amazing place to stay, walking distance from everything good in Nelson Bay. Pleasure staying here with my mates

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Loved this place, the host and the parkland around. Very convenient. Perfect independent little cottage with all amenities needed. Look forward to returning.

We had a wonderful stay at Adam's place. Loved the large deck - great for kids and adults alike. Everything was as per the description and photos on the website. It is a lovely open plan space. Everything you might need is within walking distance supermarket, bakery, Cafe, Golf Club. Playgrounds and of course the beach and river. Hawks Nest is a beautiful place we will be back.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

The place was beautiful the views were stunning too. The place was perfect size for a family, with all the amenities you would need. The house was also spotless and the location was great too, central to everything! It was also easy to check in.

We were so impressed to find such beautiful accommodation that was pet friendly right in the middle of Newcastle! The accommodation was clean, aesthetically lovely, with little touches to make everything special. Keran provided everything you could possibly want or need including lovely snacks, beach towels, coffee and tea, books and much more. I would definitely recommend accommodation and will book in again and again :)
