Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

Our stay was great. Very convenient to everything The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed. It’s better than the photos. We will return again.

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

Caves Beach House
My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
Thank you so much for the beautiful stay. An amazing view of the lake, lots of space for families, clean and felt like home. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Merewether modern beachside studio loft
Elizabeth's place was fantastic for the two of us. It was pristinely clean and tidy. The photos matched the description of the property accurately. Location was perfect, being 300m from a patrolled beach, and a short 500m walk to patrolled ocean baths. It was near to plenty of cafe's and restaurants, and close to bus stops. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, with excellent communication skills. She was proactive with instructions and information to assist us in our stay, including suggestions for activities alternate to the beach/pool. We would definitely stay again.
Torodes - beautiful beachhouse with ocean views
We had an amazing stay as a group of friends at this wonderful Airbnb! The location couldn’t be better—having the beach just across the street made our trip truly special. Our host was exceptionally helpful, always available to assist with anything we needed, and provided great local recommendations. The place itself was comfortable, clean, and perfect for a group getaway. The only minor watchpoint is the 1.5 bathroom setup, but we made it work without any issues. We absolutely loved our time here and would love to come back!

Little Beach Holiday Apartment.
Narelle’s 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 Narelle’s place. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

CAVES BEACH Wellness Retreat - luxury Guest Suite
My partner and I had such a lovely stay at Nicole’s place. It was quiet and private with walking distance to the beach. Great location for morning beach walks and dinners at the nearby Caves hotel. Nicole was very responsive and left us notes with great recommendations for food in the area. The only sad part was we wished we could’ve stayed longer! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a beach getaway. Thanks Nicole!

Bella Manor Your home away from home
Really enjoyed my stay It was as described and very family friendly. Nice quiet location. Kids loved the pool. Will be back for sure.

Bateau Bay Beach Retreat
Very homely, perfect location for walking down to Bateau Beach or along the coast track. Kids loved the pool which is a lot bigger than it appears in the photo. Gwendoline was very hospitable.

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t 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 we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Bali Inspired Studio with Pool
Jannelle was a very accommodating and perfect host! The accommodation was perfect for our stay - tranquil and comforting. Location was spot on! Thank you very much 🩷

Located in a very short walking distance to Soldier’s Point Marina. Great restaurants and cafes. Would definitely recommend a stay at Bryce’s place.

Waters Edge - beachfront luxury @ Forresters Beach
We stayed in Alex & Sam’s place for 2 nights and we did not want to leave. It was absolutely perfect. Spacious, clean, comfortable. We walked through the backyard to the beach multiple times a day. The beach is very quiet and beautiful. I cannot say enough great things about the accommodations here. It is also walkable to coffee shops. The neighborhood was quiet, the perfect beach getaway.

Angela’s place is off the beaten tourist track, and was just what we wanted. It’s in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood with easy access to the beach. The unit is high above the street with views of the surf. We loved it!

Walk to the Beach Toukley Norah Head
