Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in Great Lakes Council

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.

Really enjoyed our night stay with Maureen - great location with an easy walk to everything you need. Maureen was fabulous to deal with - welcoming on arrival and really helpful throughout our stay. Loved the details of the accomodation.

Stunning views of the beautiful beach and there is a great coffee shop on the same street. The apartment has everything needed for a holiday with family and is very neat and tidy. The fruit and cheese platter on our arrival was so lovely and unexpected. We will be returning!

Great value for money, the QT hotel is just down the road, but much preferred the space and amenities available in the apartment. Plus the price was much better. Beautifully styled with quality inclusions. Location was fantastic, we took bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed the harbour and coastal tracks.

The place was beautiful! We really enjoyed our stay, cleanliness was superb as well. Nicole provided us with all we needed and more, great for a short getaway!

Superb view and location, just a short walk to the beach and a nice stroll into town. Nice balcony to comfortably seat 4 people. The place was comfortable & clean with good reverse-cycle aircon in the lounge. My only criticism is the cooking pots & pans in the kitchen - really not great, very scratched, battered & old, made me think twice about using them to cook for my family.

Sarah’s Wren’s Nest was perfect. It is exactly as described in photos and words. Despite its size, It is comfortable, secure, convenient and easy to access. The bed and sofa are comfortable and there is plenty of space for clothes. The shower is roomy and clean. A suitcase stand is provided. Sarah responded to a question quickly. Despite being downtown, it was actually quiet. The black out curtain plus privacy screen kept the apartment dark at night. The beaches and harbor are very close with the beach/harbor tram only a block away. The apartment is on the Hunter mall, so there is a bakery, coffee shop, restaurant, chemist, quick mart and restaurant on the block, but the downtown area surrounds the apartment so you are never far from anything you might need or want. Entry is via key and fob, so I suggest you have a key chain to keep it secure. All in all a very nicely appointed apartment, downtown near harbor and beaches.

Graham was very helpful all the way, his accomodation was incredible and we really enjoyed the location.

We loved our stay at your beautiful home - so eclectic, gorgeous gardens, so relaxing with the wrap around verandah and day beds, and the magic bush track down to the beach. The kitchen was fully equipped, and everything so thoughtfully presented … a relaxing home away from home! Our little dog Cliffy absolutely loved his time there too … lots to explore in the fully fenced garden, and he loved his daily beach adventures. Thank you Evelyn & Kerry for making our stay so special. We will definitely be back and stay longer next time.

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!

Highly recommended, nice view and cozy house. Great place to stay in town.

This is by far one of the most comfortable air bnb s we have stayed at. Beautiful property. Exactly as listed. Perfect for a stop over after a lengthy drive with my family. Thanks again

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

We stayed here for our anniversary and it was the perfect getaway. Cherie is lovely and very communicative and the accommodations were better than the pictures. My husband kept commenting that he’d love to move to a studio like this one!

The house was amazing and the area was beautiful. The perfect escape from the city. Lucinda was extremely helpful and answered all the questions we had. Would recommend to any groups wanting to explore the area.

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 😊

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.

This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

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 🙂

hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money

Helens place was perfect for a family getaway. The heated pool area was a standout for the kids. Great facilities and easy walking distance to Port Macquarie town centre, beaches and kids park.

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future
