Apartment vacation rentals in Shoal Bay

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Jenny's place. The location was central to a great lookout, pristine walks and a beautiful beach. The place was the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed at and was very well equipped. Jenny was very friendly and responsive - we look forward to staying here again!

Moira’s apartment was a fabulous spot to spend Christmas - it was clean and well stocked and she had gone the extra mile with Christmas decorations and even a couple of gifts under the tree! Her communication was excellent and I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone needing a spot to stay in Newcastle. Thanks Moira!

We will be back. Great location close to the beaches - everything we needed . A minor hassle was parking - no garage - free parking on street but not that easy to find and had to walk about 750 metres which was fine for us but may be challenging for some . This was the only downside but didn’t bother us . There is free overnight parking closer to the flat but need to move car by 9 am . We preferred to park up the hill . Highly recommended

Very nice appartment. Perfect clear instructions for check in. Exactly as advertised

We had a great weekend at Viv’s apartment. It had a comfy bed, a nice little living area and kitchen and is bright and light. View is of other apartment buildings but that didn’t matter as it’s across the road from the beach and close to cafes and restaurants so great location. Viv was a responsive, friendly host. Would definitely stay here again. 😊

Location is perfect. Amazing view and verandah. Lovely to wake up to and watch the sunset. Super close to the water and walking distance to all restaurants and cafes. Spacious and all amenities you need. Comfy lounge, good tv, modern look. Could do with some new pillows and the shower needs updating (temp regulation not great). Otherwise recommend and would stay here again for sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morna Magic! It was our first family holiday with our 5month old. The place was private clean and equipped with all amenities. Location was a stones throw away from the beautiful Birubi Beach and Tomaree National Park Trail making it easy without taking pram etc. Mark was proactive and responsive with all communications. Will definitely come again!

Great place to stay across the road from the port and beach walkway. Clean and very well-kept apartment with a host that makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommend staying here.

I needed an accessible place which is what this was in terms of car park, lift and apartment with no stairs. This is located on a very steep hill though so I drove where I needed to go rather than walked. We had a great stay, very spacious and everything we needed. Would definitely book again as have family in the area and enjoyed the stay.

Emily was a wonderful host, the house was very easy to find and get into, and the house was spotless and looked even better than the photos! The view was stunning and it was in a lovely area, close to the beach and restaurants. The house had everything you needed; a great shower, a washing machine, a nice kitchen and a comfy bed. Thank you Emily!

Great place and layout for families!

We had a great time at Kate's place. Place is very clean and the ammenties were great. The location was prefect, very short walk from shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Located right next to the Newcastle Interchange, so even had the option to catch the lightrail for easy access to the beach or to restaurants and bars.

Linda is a person with a heart of gold. The kind of experience that defines humanity still exists. Myself and my family migrated from India to Australia and we were not getting a home for rent and that is why we decided to take Linda’s Airbnb. She also gave us a few tips and was also gracious enough to extend our stay until we could sustain ourselves. There is everything you need at Linda’s place and the outside views are amazing.Thanks for everything and may we meet again.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at Loft Corlette. Such a bonus to be able to take our fur baby with us. The Loft was beautifully styled, open plan living with everything we needed. Cosy and comfortable! The design and style is very fitting to the location. Super close to the beach and only minutes to the shops. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous seaside home with my family.

Teighan is an incredibly responsive host who has really thought of everything to make her guests stay as terrific as possible.

Great location with easy to access secure parking. We will definitely return. Don’t forget to walk to the hill near Newcastle Ocean Bath to see the sunrise! You might see dolphins as well.

Such an amazing place! I would highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway! Nicole was such a great host, very responsive and added some extra special touches for us! The apartment is stunning and beautifully located! The rooftop private spa and deck was also a highlight! I’d come back in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic time at One Mile Haven. The location was amazing, and the apartment was spacious with everything you could need. We loved the beautiful outdoor balcony and the infinity pool and spa were incredible. We will definitely plan a return visit.

Great location for the beach, ocean pools, walks and cafe/restaurants.

Great location, perfect size apartment for our family. We loved our stay here

A great place in the middle of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Super easy to get around from here and a nice stay.

Great location close to everything in town, well equipped apartment with a great courtyard, very clean and tidy, the complex amenities are excellent kids loved the pool and water play. The host was excellent at communicating and very accommodating (early check offered) would definitely stay again.

Happy with the stay, will rebook for next visit.

Place is amazing and very close to everything. Highly recommend to anyone
