Beach getaway
Beautiful place in peaceful neighbourhood. We had a lovely stay with everything you could need and all high quality

Adamae
lovely little place clean and well maintained in a quiet area. They left bacon and eggs and a few other goodies for us to enjoy which was very much appreciated. Spa was lovely and clean unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it. Highly recommend for staying and exploring the Hunter Valley.

Love Cottage * Wine & Cheese Hamper * Outdoor Spa
Kerry’s place was perfect for us. The champagne and cheese platter on arrival was a great touch & the amenities provided are hard to find at such an affordable price

Cozy Cottage near the beach
This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

Ducati's
We only had a short overnight stay driving from Gippsland to the Sunshine Coast. It was a great place to relax and get a good nights sleep. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made our dog Poppy feel very welcome. The house was on a busy street but Peter has set up the house and surrounding gardens perfectly to provide a quiet place to relax and stay. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to cook up the bacon and eggs which were provided but it looked delicious.

Hunter Valley, NSW - Cadair Cottage 1
My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

Escape to the Hunter Valley at Thallan Cottage
My partner and I absolutely loved our weekend at Jemma’s place - we spent the afternoon relaxing in the outdoor bath tubs and taking in the beautiful view before enjoying dinner by the fire pit in the evening. The house is gorgeous - beautifully decorated, comfortable and spotless. Jemma included so many thoughtful touches that made our stay even more special - including an amazing welcome hamper, a bath bomb and bubble bath, lovely soaps, candles, plush blankets and more. It felt like a very luxurious and relaxing sanctuary. And Jemma was lovely to deal with too, a very kind and generous host. We’ll definitely be back!

Escape to the Country in our Rock House Cottage
What an amazing experience we had with our little ones, from waking up to feeding the horses, playing on the swing set to walking around the property. Eloise was so helpful and communicated all information that we needed. Its a perfect secluded home for getting away with the family.

Mindaribba Cottage
Sally's cottage was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay for the weekend. It had everything we needed and so much more! The space was spotless and had beautiful details throughout the room. It was clear that a lot of heart and care had gone into the space. It had lovely views over their property to wake up to and plenty of spots to enjoy it. On top of that Sally was a wonderful host! She checked in with us the day before with very clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. She also baked us some lovely goodies and had stocked us up with fresh eggs and milk. The perfect host and a perfect stay! We highly recommend Mindaribba Cottage and would love to go back if we are back in the area.

Barkala Cottage
Barkala Cottage is an idyllic spot! The location, surroundings and house were all spectacular. It was the perfect spot to switch off from the world, breathe some fresh air, eat good food and just relax. I can’t wait for an opportunity to go back again in the not too distant future!

The Cottage - Berry House
Our family had a wonderful stay at Berry House. Glenn was a top host, very friendly and charming. He was on top of all communications and always had the right answer. The house was great. The indoor fire was v enjoyable and everything we needed was there. Generous supply of coffee pods, firewood kept us v comfortable. The sauna was much enjoyed though the pool was too cold.. I’m sure it would be a treat in summer. The dogs, Willow and Esther, were one of the highlights for our two boys. They had a great time. The highlight for the adults was the huge outdoor fire pit. Very special for a pre and post dinner chat.

The River Haus | Luxe Historic River Port Stay
We loved staying at the Riverhaus and cannot wait till the next time we return. Sheriden and Tom thank you so much for this airbnb! The layout, presentation, communication could not be faulted. We would highly recommend staying here.

27 Rows on Hermitage The Vines 1
Great cottage and location. It was clean and we felt very comfortable whilst there. It was very peaceful and Tanya’s instructions were very clear and helpful!

Jilliby Retreat Guesthouse
Had a very good time at jilliby cottage, very nice and peaceful location with a great pool. The hosts were very friendly and kind. We will definitely be coming back whenever we are back in the area!

Somersby Farm Cottage
We had a wonderful time at Sally and Simon’s place. It was so lovely to have an enclosed yard for our active dog and to be able to let him run in their paddock off lead. The bed was comfy and they even had chromecast set up for movie night! We enjoyed using the fire pit and the freshly laid eggs from their chickens. Thanks for an awesome time! We’ll be back!

Ironbark Cottage, Karuah
We stayed at Marguerite and Michael’s place on our way to Nelson Bay, and what a cozy spot it was! The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Marguerite and Michael were wonderful hosts - truly lovely people. A special thanks to Marguerite for the delicious homemade brownies, such a thoughtful touch! We absolutely recommend staying here and would love to come back.

Country cottage with mountain views
A great place to stay in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, the extreme weather prevented us from exploring the area further. But we felt comfortable and safe in the cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sally was very helpful and courteous and made us feel welcome. We definitely will come back and stay at Minnalong Cottage on our next trip to the Hunter.

Cedar Cottage on Lake Macquarie, Australia
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The views were absolutely stunning – waking up to the calm water just outside our window was magical, as was the serene sunset. It was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing two-night stay, including a cheese platter provided. It was the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy nature, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene getaway right on the water!

Convenient 3/bedroom Guest House in Adamstown
Our stay at Sarah's was for 3 nights and was exactly what we expected. Very central location to get anywhere in Newy only 10mims to beaches. Several places to eat very close by and lots of recommendations from host. Beds were comfortable and place was very spacious perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Only complaints would be the WiFi which was not great, had to use our phone data instead and couldnt really use streaming on TV. The traffic from the main road was quiet loud throughout the night and early morning so if you're a light sleeper... Still I can highly recommend as the place was decent overall.

My Cottage on Main... it's always a good idea.
This place truly deserves 5 stars. Such a beautiful place and so well maintained. Feels just like home. Kim was very helpful and really appreciate the welcome cookies and Easter chocolates. It was a hit with the kids. The host was very proactive and available for anything we need. I would happily recommend this place to anyone.

Salty Dog Cottage Belmont
Once again we had a fabulous short stay at our favourite Newcastle Airbnb, Salty Dog Cottage, only 4 days this time but wish we had longer. Cute cottage, comfy beds, super clean and close to everything we needed for our stay. Next door to the fabulous Gunyah Hotel where we enjoyed a couple of yummy lunches. Although there was a bit of reveller noise late on the Saturday night, the pub was a definite plus. We will definitely be back. Thank you Joanne and Mike.

The Lake House - Absolute Lakefront Cottage
What a gem! Our stay at this stunning cottage was faultless. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, great communication, very accommodating, and gave us excellent local tips (Toronto Hotel for dinner and Mizumi for takeaway were both great). We were spoilt with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs, such a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, beds were super comfy with beautiful linen, and the big fluffy towels, bathroom amenities made it feel like a luxury hotel. All the extras were thought of, oils and seasonings for cooking, even washing capsules and stain remover, a lifesaver when traveling with kids! We fished off the jetty daily (caught a Bream, Flathead, Octopus, Crab, Whiting), used the kayaks, and relaxed in the cosy TV room. We enjoyed the fire pit one night too, with wood provided. The cottage is even better than the photos. 100% recommend and hope to return soon!

Sally on Rees a delightful, intimate lake cottage
The photos of the porch in a great sunny spot, and the back area for relaxing and eating out, do not do it justice. absolutely beautiful place. immaculate and one of the best places for the price we have stayed in

SOTOS Lakeside Cottage One King Bed One Sofa
I cannot fault anything about this property, or Tracy as a host. Tracy's communication was exceptional, she also offered a 10am check in. When we did check in we were greeted with fresh pastry and cookies. We stayed at Tracy's place following our wedding, the location was superb, my wife and I literally walked to the accomodation from our ceremony. The location was great, we were able to walk to get coffee the next morning. Unfortunately I live really close to this accomodation, and we stayed here because we wanted somewhere nice for our wedding night, if I didn't live 10 minutes away, I would have zero hesitation with re-booking and enjoying Tracy's wonderful place again. Thanks so much Tracy for adding something so great to our wedding day.
