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.

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!

Unique lakefront glamping

Beachside apartment in the heart of Newcastle
We had a great stay at Warwick’s 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. We’ll be back when we’re back in town. Cheers

Waterfront Penthouse+Jacuzzi+BBQ
What an amazing place to stay with family, the apartment is so beautifully decorated with attention to detail and very clean. The rooftop jacuzzi with amazing views is truly remarkable! The host Neha was super helpful with any questions we had and easy to communicate with. Overall I give this place a 10/10 and I highly recommend. Thankyou Neha

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
Nicole’s place was a lovely stay for my small family. Nicole is a great host who left us plenty of recommendations and some treats in the fridge as well as some breakfast staples which is great when staying somewhere. We would stay here again!

the best view in town
Bernadette’s 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 wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….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 🙏 ❤️✨️

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.

Port Stephens unit within metres to beach
We had a great stay at Bryce’s place. Lovely apartment, with a great view, the unit had everything we needed for our stay. Just as good as the photos and the description online. 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.

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

Castaway @ Nelson Bay
We had a fantastic stay at Marcus and Helen's property. The decor is absolutely lovely—thoughtfully chosen and welcoming, creating a real home-away-from-home vibe. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed, including quality crockery and utensils. The furniture throughout the house was very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. On top of all that, the location was ideal—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see and do. Highly recommended!

Bahia at Shoal Bay
We had a fantastic stay and would definitely look at staying again. The property had everything we needed for a stress free, relaxed quiet and comfortable stay. The property was close to shops, restaurants and only a short stroll to beaches and some great walking trails.

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. It’s like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Granny’s 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 didn’t want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!
