Beachfront vacation rentals in Bar Beach

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.

Our stay was great. Very convenient to everything The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It’s better than the photos. We will return again.

This apartment is impeccable, a dream. The view of the harbour is superb & if we hadn’t been there to run the Newcastle marathon we might never have left the apartment! When we did leave we were right in the hub with easy transportation & great restaurants in walking distance. Every aspect of the apartment is well thought out, beautiful & luxurious. Thank you, we already can’t wait to return!

My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. An amazing view of the lake, lots of space for families, clean and felt like home. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Elizabeth's place was fantastic for the two of us. It was pristinely clean and tidy. The photos matched the description of the property accurately. Location was perfect, being 300m from a patrolled beach, and a short 500m walk to patrolled ocean baths. It was near to plenty of cafe's and restaurants, and close to bus stops. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, with excellent communication skills. She was proactive with instructions and information to assist us in our stay, including suggestions for activities alternate to the beach/pool. We would definitely stay again.

Absolutely gorgeous stay at The Butler. Such a beautiful, humble beachside home with every amenity you could ask for. The weather was not on our side for half our stay, but there was plenty of board games to keep the little one occupied (and thank god for WIFI). For the days where we had sunshine, the back deck was a favourite - listening to the birds and the waves crashing while reading a book in the sun, it doesn’t get any better. A massive thank you to our hosts, we were lucky with an early check in and throughout our stay they were wonderful and attentive. It’s also worth noting how lovely the Budgewoi community is itself, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We will be back! Thank you again

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

Fantastic place and fabulous host! Jonathon was very responsive and helpful. The place is great for two families and kids! Two living spaces and very children friendly! Would definitely stay again!

My partner and I had such a lovely stay at Nicole’s place. It was quiet and private with walking distance to the beach. Great location for morning beach walks and dinners at the nearby Caves hotel. Nicole was very responsive and left us notes with great recommendations for food in the area. The only sad part was we wished we could’ve stayed longer! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a beach getaway. Thanks Nicole!

for a family of 9 this was perfect as a last minute booking. wish we had more time to spend here. would have been even betterl if we had a boat. :).

Great location - so close to the beach. You can tell Lara has put a lot of thought into the airbnb. There is great finishing, the pool is lovely, aircon, nice appliances and lots of light. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic location right on the beach with easy access to restaurants. All facilities expected in terms the apartment were great. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Very nice place to stay, I would stay again there ☺️

Aloha at Noraville was the perfect spot for our New Year getaway. The property offered breathtaking views, and its central location made it easy to access Tuggerah Lakes for fishing and water activities. It was just a short drive to various amenities, including shops and cafes, and provided convenient access to the beautiful Hargreaves Beach. The home itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. We especially loved the outdoor space, which was ideal for relaxing and soaking in the views. Kim was an outstanding host—very responsive and welcoming. She provided clear and easy-to-follow check-in and check-out instructions, making the whole process seamless. Overall, Aloha at Noraville offered a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. We would absolutely stay here again!

Angela’s place is off the beaten tourist track, and was just what we wanted. It’s in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood with easy access to the beach. The unit is high above the street with views of the surf. We loved it!

Robert and Stella were very friendly and helpful hosts. They had great local recommendations, a thorough instructions book and quick response times. Seamless check in and check out process. Their place was like a 5 star apartment, it had everything we needed with lots of personal, thoughtful touches as well as clean and comfortable. The view was breathtaking and it was a very peaceful neighbourhood, exactly what we needed! Highly recommend!

Gail was extremely responsive and accomodating. The place itself is so clean! We felt right at home. Aircon was a treat and the beach was a 2min walk down the road. I highly recommend staying here, and will come again! Thank you Gail :)

My staff have stayed there multiple times... they love it.

We had a wonderful time , it was very peaceful and relaxing. The position of the place was incredible, the ocean at our doorstep and our own private rock jetty with lots of fish to catch and we even were greeted at the jetty by a turtle. This gate at the top was a little tight, especially for a 4x4 we just squeezed through, perhaps making the gate a little wider would be easier for some. This is a place I will most definitely return too. Thank you Prue who was a great host.

We had an excellent time here. The place was beautiful and just what we needed for a quiet Easter break away from the city. Charlie was great and very helpful and responsive. The place itself was very clean and the bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept in. We had a great stay and would recommend to anyone considering this property. Thanks again to both of you.

Thanks for being so accomodating & providing our family with such a great place to stay David. The house has so much character and sits in an amazing location. We would love to come back again! Thank you
