Cottage vacation rentals in Nelson Bay

I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat and was thoroughly impressed. The entire property was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The horses were gentle and a joy to be around, they even come close to house. was really nice to pet them. The spa and pool area was a true highlight: serene, clean, and incredibly rejuvenating. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a bit of adventure, this place offers the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Thank you for having us!

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.

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

We had a very lovely time in this beautiful spot, we will certainly be back for another stay hopefully in the same cottage we got this time around, for next time. Absolutely stunning even on a rainy day/evening. Amazing hosts. Super helpful and fast responding. Thank you Ines and Antony.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Fabulous eclectic beach style house. Great size, and easily accommodates number of guests specified. Relaxing, peaceful courtyard area. Exceptionally clean throughout. It’s an easy 20 minute walking distance to Fingal Bay or Shoal Bay beaches either direction, with Box Beach close by too. Nelson Bay is 5 minute drive for Woollies. We really enjoyed our long weekend and had a wonderful relaxing time. Will definitely book again

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.

This place was wonderful, we wished we stayed longer!! Everything was so close by and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend

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.

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!

We had a great time and an awesome stay- had everything we needed for a relaxing week at Shoal bay- will definitely be back!

Really enjoyed our stay at SOM #2 - villa was super clean and comfy, with every amenity, as described. Peaceful location and short walk into Shoal Bay with plenty to do and cafe's/restaurants nearby. Would def visit again!

Great place. Our second time to stay. Very comfortable, absolutely spotless and close to everything you need.

A truly wonderful weekend away. Such a warm welcoming feeling, the property and cottage is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The gardens create such a sense of tranquility and the house is full of relaxing corners to calm and entertain any guest. From books, to movies, games to cooking, you don’t even need to leave the house. The kitchen is so well equipped and the be beds were really comfortable. Every little detail, and more, has been thought of. The property is immaculately clean and full of beautiful art and decor. My kids (8 and 6) loved it too. Plenty to keep them entertained while my mum and I relaxed. The location is great too. Easy walk to the beach and loads of other activities nearby. Couldn’t speak highly enough of this stay. Thanks for a magical weekend away.

Beautifully kept property and amenities, and such a great place tounwind and relax. Alecia & Lloyd are wonderful hosts and they were proactive throughout the whole duration of our stay to make sure that our stay was relaxing & that all our needs were met. Was an awesome experience getting to meet their horses & feeding them.

Perfect location, and centrally located to everything! We enjoyed 3 nights and it was the best holiday we’ve had in the Hunter so far. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes around the grounds, there was plenty of space and privacy. We enjoyed using the fire pit, playing the giant chess board and seeing the horses. The accommodation was really well presented, all newly updated, clean and came well equipped with everything we needed. Being a wood cabin, it was very cold, but luckily there was air split system air con in the living space, as well as a fireplace to take advantage of (which also created a beautiful ambiance during the night). There are some wineries within walking distance, on the same road, and it’s only about a 5 minute drive to “the Gardens”. All in all, we were really happy with our stay, and will likely return for our next Hunter trip! Thanks Guy.

Loved our stay here for the weekend - so pretty and well decorated for a girls weekend. Walking distance to shops / cafes. We came down for vineyards tasting which all I’d recommend is booking taxis in advance. Airbnb itself we all said we’d happily book again!!

Beautiful and serene location and super cosy cottage! Could not recommend enough

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!

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.
