Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hawks Nest

A beautiful place with a beautiful view and surroundings, right on the edge of the lake. Josie was an excellent host throughout our stay with great communication, tips. We’ll be back.

Our stay at this beautiful home was incredible. The views of the bush and lake are amazing, and all the rooms of the house were stunning. You feel super secluded but with everything close by. Ken was great with communication.

Roger was an excellent host! Very accommodating and even prepared eggs and bread for breakfast the next day. The couple were very friendly on arrival and mentioned we had all day for check-out since it was raining. Highly recommend Robyn's nest hideaway for your next airbnb in Ports Stephen!

Incredible spot. We watched the dolphins leaping from the waves and couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back in whale season! Great setup. Highly recommended. Richard and Beck were great hosts. Really responsive and helpful. Avalon town is a great spot too. Lots of good places to eat and get coffee. minor notes: the path down to the rockpools is a little more advanced than anticipated. We turned back with our three year old. if you're napping kids in the middle of the day the blinds don't block much light coming in.

Stayed at this tiny home for my boyfriend’s surprise birthday trip. He was absolutely amazed by the place. Both the tiny home and the views. The outdoor fire was definitely the best part. It was such a cozy and perfect place to stay for the winter. Would definitely go back and recommend to everyone else!!

Lovely place perfect for our stay. we were visiting family in the area. The house had everything we needed amd was very central. Robert was a flexible responsive host whom I would highly recomend the location is superb and the views stunning....Maybe don't go in the middle of a severe flood warning if you really want to appreciate the magnificicent views......Robert even offered his local knolwledge on alternate routes due to the weather. All in all a great experience except for the rain, but I am from England so it was like home from home for me... :-)

We absolutely loved our stay at Michelle and Andrew’s beautiful place! The décor was stunning, and the house has a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Everything was spotlessly clean and wonderfully tidy, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, with so many extras provided to make our stay incredibly comfortable and easy. Best of all were the accomodations and little touches for dogs throughout the house. We (and our pup) loved the welcome package 🐾 It truly had everything we needed — and more! We would highly recommend the home to anyone looking for a relaxing and delightful getaway.

We had an amazing time at this property! From the moment we booked, Sandy was outstanding—super communicative, incredibly flexible, and genuinely accommodating. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, even hanging up a birthday sign for my father-in-law, which was such a thoughtful touch! The house itself was perfect for our family. The kids were thrilled with the games room—it kept them entertained for hours. We also loved having separate living areas for some quiet time, as well as a spacious communal area where we could all come together and relax. It’s clear Sandy pays attention to the little details that make a big difference. We felt truly welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and heartwarming getaway!

Jemma & Brett’s place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect being walking distance to restaurants and the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

The studio was sparkling clean and the bed was really comfy. The reverse cycle AC made the studio cozy on a cold winter weekend and there is a great pub only one block away with excellent food. Cath and Alex were very friendly and helpful both before we arrived as well as during our stay. Overall it was excellent value for money. We had a great weekend and we will be back for our next Newcastle visit.

Nice Seaview from back yard despite the weather was not good during our stay. Definitely recommend for everyone who wants to have a good time with family.

Loved the view from the loungeroom & balcony. Everything was neat & tidy. Lots of books, DVDs, etc. Great smart TV. Beds were comfy. Nice & roomy apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Had a lovely time.

Myself and 3 friends stayed for 2 nights for a Birthday trip from Sydney. This place is such a gem and Nicole has thought of everything! The fridge was fully stocked with bubbles and soft drinks, milk, bottles of water- so generous. This space is so beautiful and comfortable. The rooftop is just so gorgeous, we enjoyed a drink out there in the afternoon sun and a coffee when we woke up. We arrived after dark and the lights were all on ready for us which was such a nice touch. We were in walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go and to the light rail too which was great for getting to the interchange. If you are driving there is garage too which is ideal.For the price, this was one of the best air bnbs I have ever stayed in- we didn't want to leave. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Beautiful location, stunning views from the balcony! We were even joined by 6 rainbow lorikeets when we arrived. The flat was spotless, easy to access and Brent was a responsive host. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Yantra's place was a peaceful hideaway tucked away in Avoca. The place was clean and well maintained yet cozy, had all the amenities we needed (portable stove, pots and pans, oil, utensils, washing machine, internet, dryer). The outdoor sitting area was comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. The place colourful and full of personality, we felt very at home during our stay. Thank you again.

What a treat it was this week to be able to make the Surf Shack my base of an evening while spending my days packing up my rental ready for an interstate move. Something really important to me is clear communication prior to a stay and Petra and Amanda nailed that. The Surf Shack was delightfully well positioned for getting out to met friends in city cafes, and clean. The marble flooring stole my heart... the simplicity in there was soothing and I can't wait to be Petra and Amanda's guest again. Highly recommend😍

Nice place with walking distance to the beach. Will definitely come back again during summer time. Loni is very responsive and helpful.

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.

We have been on a lengthy road trip and Bill’s place was our favourite out of every where we stayed. The views were amazing, everything we could need was catered for and we felt very comfortable and at home. Would have extended our stay if we weren’t on a schedule so will have to come back another time. Not sad about it-a wonderful part of the world and an awesome accommodation option 🙂

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

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 🙂

What a pleasure it was to stay in this spacious, comfortable and well equipped home. Emily provides everything you need right down to umbrellas. The beautiful views over Whale Beach added a fabulous touch to this perfect airbnb. Emily and David were quick to respond, always helpful, and throughout my 10 day stay ensured that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Northern Beaches.

Wow, this garden apartment is fabulous. Arrival was easy & straight forward. On entering, I was pleasantly surprised. The apartment is so spacious, bright & airy and the proportions are very generous. A rare find indeed. The kitchen is lovely with everything you could possibly need. The bedroom is roomy and the bed devine, so comfortable. The bathroom is large & bright with a spacious shower & a separate bath.. There is a well equipped gym and a lovely swimming pool, all on the same level as the apartment.. both well used by us.. We loved it so much that we will make a night stop, room only, on our return.
