Great place to stay for a long weekend!

Dutchies | Off-leash dog beach 300m, 55"TV, WiFi
The house was very nice and in a great location for anyone with dog's. Only 5 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach and half an hour's walk into town. As we haven't been to the area before, Clare's recommendations of things to do were excellent for the whole family.

Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Our stay at the Redhead Beach House was fantastic. The house itself was well designed, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with a platter and wine waiting for us and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Great selection of board games, table tennis and arcade game meant there was plenty to do when we were at the house. The area was beautiful and quiet. A great beach over the road - both our 11 year old daughter and our dog loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you Natalie and Collin for your hospitality.

Unique lakefront glamping site
2nd year here for her annual girls weekend absolutely perfect great location beautiful host and everything as described. Great price for a relaxing time.

Beachside apartment in the heart of Newcastle
We had a great stay at Warwickās place. Ideal location - both walking distance to the beach and strip of restaurants and cafes. The lounge and dining furniture differs to what is listed in the pictures, however that did not impact our stay.

Caves Beach House
We enjoyed our stay and spending time with family at the beautiful, well appointed Caves Beach House. We enjoyed having breakfast at the deck, looking towards the beach. We also enjoyed walking to Caves restaurant and to Caves Beach from the house. Thank you for hosting us, Sue!

Terrigal Studio 8B - 150m walk to Terrigal beach
Perfect for walking to everything in the local area, the beach, restaurants, clubs and bars along the strip where basically at your front door yet you are still private enough for it to be very restful when needed. Lovely little find and an extra bonus for our cute daily visits from the resident dog. Thanks for hosting.

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
Thanks Julie. House works well for our group. Weāll be back when weāre back in town. Cheers

Seaside Holiday Resort Fingal Bay - by the beach
Great overnight stay. The lady in reception was very welcoming and informative. Clean and quiet. Will be back.

Little Beach Holiday Apartment.
Narelleās place is situated perfectly 2 mins walk from beautiful Little Beach and other attractions/activities in this area of Port Stephens. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you may possibly need as well as games and rackets for the tennis court. Parking was available on site. Additionally Narelle was quick to respond to any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Narelleās place. I wish I couldāve stayed longer.

"La Cabane" - Private Pool
My partner and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The layout was thoughtfully designed and we especially loved the rustic charm of the bed and bathroom which created such a warm, cozy atmosphere. The location was perfect, the beach accessible from the back gate of the property and although the weather was chilly, we still enjoyed a lovely picnic down there. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, making the check-in process smooth and welcoming. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway!

Breathtaking Luxe Penthouse - perfect escape
Very relaxing place to spend a week or weekend. Has everything and walking distance to everything

the best view in town
Bernadetteās place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

Lakefront Getaway Walk to Beach
This was a really great place to stay and I wouldnāt hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally locatedā¦.highly recommend!

Bateau Bay Beach Retreat
We just LOVED this place. cosy, beautifully presented- with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. The only bad thing about this home was that we couldn't stay longer. We would love to come stay again in the future, if Gwendoline would have us. Thanks so much- the De Caux family š ā¤ļøāØļø

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrianās place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didnāt want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience weāve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

By The Bay | 5mins to Beach/Walking Trail
Awesome place. Clean and tidy, nicely renovated. Very close to town, cafes and restaurants all with walking distance. Was perfect for 2 couples and a young child. Everything we needed. Highly recommend. Thanks

Arabella
We had a great stay at Arabella. Very well furnished with high quality furniture, appliances and all the kitchenware you could ever need. The property is well located, less than 5 min drive to Nelson Bay and Salamander Bay and beaches at the doorstep. Communication with the host was excellent. My group of 8 with seniors and children enjoyed themselves and look forward to coming back!

Port Stephens - Pindimar Beach House
We had an amazing time at the property. The views were amazing and it was such a lovely place to sit and unwind. The house was in immaculate condition and Steven was a fantastic host. Would stay again!

Stunning 1-2 bedroom luxury Oceanside apartment
Great news place to stay, very welcoming, clean and well situated. Will be back.

Oceana - Beachfront - Free Parking
Great place to stay. Fantastic views. Very comfy bed. Fantastic hosts, great communication and very responsive.

Modern beach house
Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a perfect location. Itās like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Grannyās Pool. The outdoor dining area was our favourite place to sit and enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax for dinner in complete privacy. The amenities are modern and everything you need - we didnāt want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!

Sojourn at the Cove - opposite Heros Beach
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.

Panorama on Newcastle Beach - Free Parking - Views
We had a great time at Carly & Katie's place. It was exactly as described and very clean. The apartment has great views across the beach and parkland and is just a short walk into the heart of the city or over the road to the beach or foreshore parks and walks. There are great restaurants and cafes close by, and the renewed areas along the river are very close too. We'd highly recommend Carly & Katie's apartment as a great base for wonderful stay in Newcastle.
