Family-friendly vacation rentals in One Mile

This is an amazing property overlooking one of Australia’s most beautiful beaches. The view is breathtaking and instantly relaxing. Glenyss was a fantastic host and was responsive and friendly in all communication. Highly recommended!

Had a most lovely time in the cabin. There are a few cabins in the location, all with enough space and spacing to let you feel like you are away from it all. The hot tub was lovely, being able to be accessed directly out the front of the cabin. There was plenty of glassware and other things so that if you wanted to you could use it. We brought our own, but you wouldn't need to. It's a great location, close to the beach and a short 10 to 15 minute drive to other nearby locations with lots of restaurant and food options.

We had a lovely four-night stay at the cabin. It was a cosy, well-equipped space with a beautiful view—sunrises and sunsets were stunning. The hot tub was a highlight, and the thoughtful touches like champagne, chocolates, and a well-stocked kitchenette made it feel special. The cabin had plenty of ways to stay warm, and while the bathroom was compact, it had everything we needed, including handy essentials. One thing to note is that the cabin is quite close to Vicky and Roger’s home, which isn’t clear from the photos, so privacy was a little limited—we didn’t always feel comfortable using the hot tub. There were also a few dead bugs on the ceiling, but overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it

We loved our stay! Perfect location for a weekend of wineries and lots of space for babies and dogs to explore. We would love to come back and stay again :)

Our stay at Bella Vista was pure heaven. It’s been 10 days since we left and every day we have reminisced, scrolled through photos and contemplated when we can visit again! My son said today ‘I don’t want to go to school, why can’t we just live at Bella Vista!!’ This place was perfect for a family getaway. It was spacious, luxurious, peaceful and had everything we needed. The view is incredible. We can’t wait to go back.

It was a beautiful spacious place for a group of good friends to tour the Hunter region. It was central to most places making it easy to drive everywhere. Dan and Ariane were friendly and accommodating with our needs. A great place to relax!

Armando is a Super host. He looked after us very well. Even though we cut short our trip, we hope to enjoy Armando's home, in our next visit to Newcastle.

Paul has a lovely home and was a great host. No issues with our stay and Paul was very responsive. All in all, a great trip!

Joe's place was exactly as described - tranquile farm stay with all kinds of wildlife visits! It even had everything for breakfast - bread, eggs, cereals, coffee and fruits! even an avocado!!! we also needed some extra milk and he was able to help with that! thank you Joe - we'll come again!

We had such a lovely stay – the place was warm and cosy, perfect for a relaxing family retreat. It’s in a quiet bush setting but still super convenient, just a 10-minute drive to Merewether Beach and Hickson Street Lookout. We loved taking our dogs for walks along Merewether Beach and even found a great dog-friendly café nearby – the perfect spot for an early brekkie and sunrise. The lookout was stunning at sunset, though dogs aren’t allowed there, so we left ours in the car for a short while. The cottage has a big wooden table out on the deck, and we really enjoyed having lunch there, listening to the frogs singing while the dogs explored the garden. Such great value for a pet-friendly getaway. Thanks so much, Stewart!

Thanks to Donna for a great short stay. Donna was great at communicating and was very responsive. Our stay was easy and was great for us as a family with a pet.

Rod was proactive in his communication, left a stunning bottle of wine & cheese which was a great touch and we could access the property easily. The location was perfect for what we needed and everyone was comfortable and happy. Would highly recommend! Beautiful patio to watch the golf from as well.

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

The house was very clean and fresh, super cozy and homely. Corinne went above and beyond to accommodate us, even down to leaving us groceries that suited our family to make breakfast and snacks. She also gave us a run down of the area and things to do and see. We will definitely aim to stay here next time we’re visiting.

This is the second time we’ve visited Paul’s place and hopefully they’ll be another. It’s a quintessential Australian coast house, full of character and warmth. The beach is across the road and you fall asleep with the sound of the ocean. Heaven! Great back yard, everything you need and Paul is a 10 out of 10 host!

Terry’s place was perfect for our Hunter getaway, and Graham went above and beyond as host. Great location for getting around wineries and restaurants, and 3-minute walk to the brewery and pub down the road made for an absolute no-brainer at night. Accomodation is everything you’d need: perfect for a single, or a couple, or adults +kid/s, etc, plenty of space in the large main room with separate kitchen and separate private bathroom/laundry. Cannot recommend this place and Graham highly enough, what a legend! Cheers mate, we’ll see you again.

We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

The Vintage is a stunning area, the house was beautiful and big and so well laid out. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area and fireplace. We loved our stay here and highly recommend!

We have stayed at Jenni and Kristi's place several times previously and it always makes our stays in the Hunter really relaxing and comfortable. Everything is just as we like-spacious, clean, very comfortable beds, well stocked with cutlery, crockery and glassware, coffee maker etc. It's well situated, in a very quiet location overlooking the pond where there are plenty of ducks, moorhens and even kangaroos to make for a very relaxing ambience. We will certainly hope to stay again on our next visit. I highly recommend.

We stayed here to attend a wedding at Eaglereach. It is remote, but not as hard to get to as we'd feared. The road up is narrow and windy, not as steep as I'd expected and tarred most of the way so quite driveable. The Gallery is one of a number of houses in the Eaglereach precinct, but others are barely visible so it is quite private. The house was comfortable but could be improved with a more up to date kitchen - there is no dishwasher, for example. It was a chilly weekend and I would have appreciated some heating in the bathroom, which is a bit spartan. Also we were surprised there was no doona on the bed and no electric blanket. But the location is what you pay for and it was beautiful and peaceful, and the wallabies do come right up to the back door!

Tranquil Vale Vineyards has such beautiful views, it is so peaceful! The cottage is exactly as described, we had an issue on the first night with the ducted air con not working prior to us arriving - Connie had already arranged for additional heating for us which was more than ample to warm the cottage. This was promptly fixed the next morning and working with no issues for the rest of our stay. On our 2nd last day, we had an issue with the dishwasher not working properly - Connie went out of her way to assist and ensure we were not inconvenienced. The cottage is very comfortable, with all the amenities and inclusions as noted. Connie is a fabulous host, and the additional offerings of breakfast, bbq platter and charcuterie platter are so convenient. We especially loved the charcuterie platter with our wine tasting, the local produce with their olive oils are superb. We also enjoyed the wine tasting and took quite a few home to enjoy! Would highly recommend!

Our stay was beautiful and everything was as described. Incredibly comfortable beds with lots of peace and quiet. The added pleasure of seeing and petting the beautiful animals made it an experience not to be found elsewhere. The grounds and house is so well maintained and was perfect for a stay with extended family. We look forward to coming back in the future.

Bundera Lodge was great for a short holiday getaway. Wonderful views across the valley, peaceful surroundings, and most importantly a great coffee machine :) Tim was really helpful and gave clear instructions. Everything in the lodge was in the right place and was working. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a variety of pots, pans, and appliances for cooking up a feast. Thanks so much!
