Family-friendly vacation rentals in Charlestown

An incredibly quaint cottage, such a perfect romantic getaway

We had a wonderful family vacation at Susan’s place! Her house was incredibly cozy and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Susan was also very accommodating and responsive to all our needs, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended! DJDVE

Awesome place, great price!!

Wonderful place to stay and met all our needs. Craig’s house is in the perfect spot for the beach and the other activities we were there for. Craig was so easy to deal with and was so responsive and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot in The Entrance

It was a beautiful spacious place for a group of good friends to tour the Hunter region. It was central to most places making it easy to drive everywhere. Dan and Ariane were friendly and accommodating with our needs. A great place to relax!

A wonderful few days with all the family, plenty of space and plenty to do from roaming the gardens and admiring the property and scenery to relaxing in hot spa bath or playing a game of pool.

Paul has a lovely home and was a great host. No issues with our stay and Paul was very responsive. All in all, a great trip!

Tims place is a little oasis with the peaceful bush backdrop but so walkable to the beach. Very comfortable and great kitchen with great deck and bbq. We used it all- and we look forward to heading back again !

Beautiful property. Loved the nest! Lots of lovely walks and different places to unwind on the property itself. Waking up to all the birdsong was glorious. We had a really lovely relaxing stay - thank you very much Christine.

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Donna’s. Donna is always very helpful. We love the peacefulness and the lakeside view

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

The house was very clean and fresh, super cozy and homely. Corinne went above and beyond to accommodate us, even down to leaving us groceries that suited our family to make breakfast and snacks. She also gave us a run down of the area and things to do and see. We will definitely aim to stay here next time we’re visiting.

My friends & I booked Jenny’s place last minute solely based on all of her previous reviews and we were not disappointed at all! We got unlucky with some rain on our second day, but upon arrival we enjoyed helping Jenny feed the ducks, chickens & horses. She was an amazing host & left us the yummiest silky chicken eggs. We spoke about her journey in acquiring the many Arabian horses she had on her farm and wished we were able to do the farm tour if weather had permitted. I am definitely looking to come stay here again very soon!

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!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Joanne has been very helpful with check-in and gives very clear instructions. The place is very conveniently located and close to all amenities. Would definitely come back if we were ever to visit Newcastle again.

Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

A quiet, rural cottage with wood burner fireplace - it was perfect for a winter getaway. Easy, friendly and responsive. Would stay again!

Definitely one of the best AirBnB we have stayed at. Judy and Bruce were welcoming, helpful and friendly, even allowing us to check in an hour early (after a very early start for an early flight). Corona cottage is delightful and has everything you could need for a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was rather squeaky, but comfortable according to our adult son who slept on it, and the queen bed was very comfortable. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the pool looked lovely (although we did not get to use it due to rainy weather). A nice touch was the fresh fruit bowl and continental breakfast supplied. Overall, an amazing place for our family to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

Peaceful location, had a great girls weekend away 💜 next time I’ll just remember to bring more bug spray, there were more mozzies than I expected to be at the location, and I did not come prepared enough as the person who is generally the one bitten in the group, this is an error on my part

Justine was friendly, helpful and promptly responsive. The cabin was clean, cozy and very comfortable, with all the essentials of home. Loved Forresters Beach, a beautiful sanctuary and very picturesque!!

A wonderful stay! Felt right at home. Place was clean and cozy. Therese even went out of her way to make sure it the heating was on for our arrival

What a lovely place with the kindest owners! Tania took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay, always attentive and thoughtful. Communication was excellent, and the place itself was spotless and very comfortable. We highly recommend staying here — it was truly a delightful experience!

Edwina and her husband were lovely hosts, and Elfin Hill is a great complexthat is well appointed and maintained. We enjoyed our visit.
