Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fingal Bay

Travelled from Sydney and this was our perfect place en route. We all loved the pool and the beautiful gardens. The apartment was very spacious and spotless.

Fantastic eco-resort (retreat amidst subtropical forest) very close to the amazing sand dunes of Anna Bay. The pool was luckily located right in front of our cottage. And the hot-tub (at every cottage) around the front deck was a great addition to the overall experience. Brief interactions with Antony (owner) were as great as his vigilance to manage this excellent property. Koalas are often spotted within the property but we were unlucky in that. Overall great experience and highly recommend as a place to stay if you are visiting Port Stephens.

Thanks so much Mark & Leah for a wonderful stay. The view from this appartment is just stunning and the appartment itself was spacious, spotless and so comfortable for our stay. Bed was super comfy too and despite being right on the front the place was very soundproofed. Mark was very responsive when we were getting in and on the lead up to our stay. Thanks!

We absolutely loved staying at Armando's place and felt very much at home! Each room met our needs perfectly, and the gardens were so lovely! It was great to see the many accessible features that were very tastefully done also. a great place to stay!

A great place in the middle of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Super easy to get around from here and a nice stay.

For a large group of adults like we had this place is the best! Make the most out of the outdoor bbq and ping pong table!

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafés just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.

Place is amazing and very close to everything. Highly recommend to anyone

Very cosy comfy bed in a quiet location, good central area for getting around. Close to black butt reserve which was really nice for walking. Very friendly nice host and very clean. Loved it , couldn't fault in anyway.

logement spacieux, propre et très bien équipé. notre séjour fut vraiment agréable. Roger et son épouse sont très accueillants. bon ancrage pour parcourir Port Stephens. super rapport qualité/prix. nous recommandons.

Thank you Eva. We really enjoyed our stay. The house had a great layout with good sized rooms. Location was excellent, close to shops. Many thanks for having us.

Such a beautiful family home and the layout and amenities were absolutely perfect for our stay - the downstairs area is self contained and so was ideal to have a stray grandpa join the family fun for a couple of days. The heated pool was a huge winner with the kids. Lauren has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. The location is great too - a short walk into town; or a short walk through a bush trail at the rear of the property to Wreck Beach. We will be back 🙌🏼

The location is super close to beach and restaurants, the suburb is quiet we all like it. My furry friend also loves the beautiful yard. We will definitely book this wonderful spot again if we back to Shoal Bay!

Lovely place, great location and very homely. Would not stay anywhere else in Newcastle when back!

We had a great stay at Travis’ place. A very cool and well designed townhouse located in a great position to explore the local area. It was spacious and comfortable for our family of 4. Definitely recommend.

Here's a refined version of your text: We had a fantastic time at Windmill! The place is spacious and was perfect for our group of four families. The backyard is amazing, with the pool being the main attraction. The large kitchen with everything you need leads to a nice covered balcony—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The beds were super comfy, and the location is excellent, with supermarkets and restaurants just a few minutes away. Tanya was a wonderful host, very communicative and a lovely person to talk to. Thanks for having us! :)

lovely spacious apartment in a good location, perfect for a family. BBQ area very good and pool ok. Janet was very helpful and responded very quickly to a small issue with the pool, great host.

Thank you for hosting an amazing weekend away. We had 2 families stay with ample space. We look forward to visiting again

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

Simon’s place is simply amazing. Not only is a great house, in an amazing spot but It was equipped with everything anyone could ever possibly need. Simon was always available and responsive to any queries, and went the extra mile to find out more about our plans and interests so he could recommend activities or offer additions l help. I have stayed in plenty of Airbnb’s and I must say I think this tops them all, and no doubt I will be back.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt als Familie! Super Gastgeberin, fantastische Aussicht, süße Vögel zu Besuch auf dem Balkon. Das Apartment hat alles geboten, was wir uns nur wünschen konnten. Danke, Chris und Bob!

Had an amazing stay at Medowie thanks to Tania! She was friendly and gave excellent local recommendations. The guest house had all the amenities and extras in the bathroom cupboards and kitchen pantry that you might need! The place was spotless and the pool was lovely. Tania was a fantastic host and great to chat to, thinking I might book in again later in the year just to enjoy the space and her hospitality again! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of going to this area.

The location of the apartment was perfect. Only a quick walk down to the marina and bay via a shortcut along a path. An absolutely beautiful view of the water and sunset from the apartment. The apartment was clean and easy to find following the detailed instructions provided We had 2 cars, one with a boat and was great to have a garage space for 1 car and easy street parking directly across the road for the car with the boat Thanks for a great stay! :)

Amanda’s place was great to visit. The place was neat and clean. Watching sunset from living room was a bonus. We would love to visit again.
