Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in The Entrance

What a lovely place! I couldn't recommend this stay more. It was such a relaxing weekend, and we will definitely be back. The hosts were incredibly friendly and quick to respond, the house was beautifully styled and cozy.

Absolutely incredible stay!! We were here with the groom for two nights before the wedding day and it was the perfect relaxing retreat we wanted it to be! Scott was such a great host, even drove off to get us a bottle of milk when we arrived. The environment was gorgeous, the spa was heaven and the duel cabins made for a relaxing spacious experience. By far my favourite BnB I’ve ever stayed at and made for many beautiful memories. Hope to be back soon! Thank you!

Well presented holiday home, with everything you need. Outdoor area was exceptional, perfect for relaxing. Quiet surroundings. Walking distance to shops & beach. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Lisa’s 😁

We spent the Easter long weekend at Ricky's place with extended family. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We used the path across the street to access the lake, which is steep at the start but then lovely and flat for my 4-year-olds to scoot around. It's a 2 minute drive to the shops. We tried a few local beaches but our favourite was Norah Head and the Norah Head rock pool, which is 5 minutes drive away. The only thing to be aware of is that bedroom 4 isn't really a bedroom - it's a little annex/office space between the living area and one of the other bedrooms - it has no door, which meant it wasn't really usable as a bedroom.

Great home and host. Easy check in, very responsive. Would recommend.

I rent to many houses in Airbnb This one was the best ever

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!

Thanks Angie for hosting my workers again! Your property is amazing, they couldn't believe their luck when they checked in. The location is fabulous, and the property was exactly what they needed after a long day at work. We look forward to staying with you again soon! Thankyou

We had an amazing time staying at Lucy's beachfront Airbnb! We spent a month there and loved waking up to the stunning sunrise every morning. The apartment was perfect for our family of four, offering everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lucy was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We would absolutely love to return for another beach getaway!

Donna's place was fantastic for our family get together after visiting Newcastle for the day. It is in a great location, close to the beach with a great coffee shop down stairs. The apartment is spacious with great views. Donna is a very responsive host and extremely flexible with check in and check out. We will be back.

Great location and easy process. Would recommend.

Our second stay here...and we just booked a third! Awesome location for the best of Newcastle's coastal walks, cafes and restaurants. Great apartment with everything needed for a short or longer stay. Pool a bonus too. Fast becoming our regular 'home' when in town.

I had a wonderful one night stay at Jonathan’s place. I have to agree with all the positive reviews on the property. It was a very welcoming place, right on the water, and in a fantastic location within walking distance to the main attractions. I would definitely come back!

A lovely little place to stay. It has everything you need for a short stay. Thanks for having me.

A spacious and comfortable self-contained flat, overlooking the forest and the ocean. We had an excellent time over four weeks. Communication with a most hospitable owner was perfect. We highly recommend, and hope to be back some day!

Great stay in a fabulous location. Apartment is very cute and comfortable. Lovely eclectic vibe. Bianca is a great host - very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely stay there again :)

The place was very close to Mona Vale Beach. Not far from the bus to the city or Manly. Close to Mona Vale shops.

The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.

There’s little else to add to all the glowing reviews of this comfortable stay at Whale Beach. We stayed here with our young son for 6 nights and it was a lovely home away from home, in a space with both character and all modern conveniences, in a beautiful corner of Australia. It’s one of the most memorable stays we’ve had on Airbnb.

Definitely recommend staying here, we will be rebooking in the future

Overall, a good place with wonderful views of Broken Bay and the Pacific Ocean, and West St Umina. The place is tucked away in the hills area, so you will need a car or put yourself on the bus which stops outside. The property is located down a steep driveway. Inside it has sunken downstairs bedrooms and above is a well appointed and stocked kitchen and lounge area. The shower is great for couples who like different temperature with its dual nozzle system. Bedding is comfortable. Tip for new stayers, there is a second oil heater behind the wood heater which we discovered on checkout. Paul is a supportive host that offers flexibility.

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

Extremely cozy and a great area!

A beautiful unit finished and appointed to a very high standard. The unit is especially homely and only a few minutes walk to Avalon village. The location is ideally located also the nearby locality with lots of beaches, cafes and places of interest close by. We loved our time at this unit.
