Reflections Lodge One Mile Beach, Port Stephens
We stayed there for two nights and it was worth it . Liana was very responsive and did her best to give us a wonderful experience. The cottage was well kept and offered serenity. Its location is ideal with access to nearby beach and outing places like Koala sanctuary.

Lemon Tree Cottage
Well appointed. So many items supplied in kitchen and bathrooms that I have not seen at any other AIRBNB. Easy access. Very clean and well stocked with cleaning items and supplies incase of an accident or spill so you clean up and continue to enjoy your stay. Location close to cafes and restaurants at Lemon Tree Passage. So many recreational items in shed to help you enjoy the coastal location and water ways. Julie took the time to reach out to us when we did not reply to emails as we were travelling and not opening our laptop and lodging in every day about dietary requirements re type of milk to put in fridge. In conclusion well done Julie you are a credit as a super host.

Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Our stay at the Redhead Beach House was fantastic. The house itself was well designed, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We were welcomed with a platter and wine waiting for us and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Great selection of board games, table tennis and arcade game meant there was plenty to do when we were at the house. The area was beautiful and quiet. A great beach over the road - both our 11 year old daughter and our dog loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you Natalie and Collin for your hospitality.

Luxury Listing ~ 2min walk to beach + pet friendly
Perfect home away from home, close to the beach. Good communication with hosts. Bicycles are a nice addition to explore the area and EV charging port is super useful too.

Little Sea Sea, Waterfront Beachside Apartment
This was such a lovely beach home, the kind you dream of! It was wonderful having views of the water from every corner of the home. Everything in the home was beautiful and thoughtfully furnished. We tried kayaking and fishing and enjoyed it very much. The boys enjoyed playing on the lawn outside and the husband prepared a simple bbq on the patio. The kitchen was also very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will definitely be recommending friends over!

Absolute Beachfront @ The Entrance
Jonathan is the most amazing host. The apartment is absolutely breathtaking and I was not prepared for the view. The place is of a high standard of quality and cleanliness. The kitchen is equipped with quality supplies. And the kitchen towels are abundant and fresh (I'm a chef so this was so beautiful to see) everything there that you would need for a home away from home. luxury bathroom with more than adequate supplies. Peaceful, safe, amazing living and dining area, the most freshest bed I've ever slept in. Thank you so much, Jonathan for having me. I recommend this place so highly and with the assurance that it's the best airbnb I have ever stayed and will definitely be coming back.

Torodes - beautiful beachhouse with ocean views
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!

Accommodation by the sea
Perce is the ultimate gentleman. Great communication, very kindhearted, always responsive and wants nothing more than to share his knowledge and have his guests enjoy their stay. I felt very grateful that I stayed with him. The location is across the road from an incredible beach and bay. Has everything I needed and best of all a friendly, knowledgeable local who is more than happy to help. Will definitely be back. Thanks again Perce!

Zen at Nelson Bay [2024 newly renovated]
Beautiful apartment in a stunning location. Gavin is very friendly and provided some great suggesions for areas to explore in the local area. The Instructions for finding the property were very clear. Everything was very clean and functioning. Also really liked the undercover car park. The property is also walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Bouys in Nelson Bay is an amazing restaurant/cafe and very close to the property, absolutely incredible food. Overall, it was a great stay! 😄

Corlette apartment with 5 min walk to beach.
I treated my son and his girlfriend to a weekend getaway, and since it was their first trip to the area, Sue was incredibly helpful with recommendations that made their stay both smooth and enjoyable. The kids had a great time, and the place was exactly as described. If I ever make it to the area myself, I’ll definitely be staying here.

The Poolhouse Port Stephens
We had a wonderful stay at Josie’s pool house. Everything was excellent. Josie was super friendly and proactive with wonderful recommendations and always available for any requests we had. The pool house is properly relaxing, the pool, hot tub and mini golf were a lot of fun, we enjoyed spending quiet time and star gazing at night while enjoying the hot tub! We enjoyed all the little extras Josie left for us in the pool house too to make our stay extra comfortable. This is an amazing place to stay when visiting Port Stephen’s, fabulously located close to everything but still very private - the view was stunning. We loved Josie’s café where we enjoyed some yummy brunch - thank you for the extra coffee coins! We will definitely recommend!

Villa Jol’ Shoal Bay | 5mins to beach | King beds
Jemma & Brett’s place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect being walking distance to restaurants and the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

Holiday house
It was a very clean and beautiful place to stay. The backyard, in particular, had a warm and cozy atmosphere that was comforting just to look at. I wished I could have stayed longer than just one night. There were no unnecessary items, and the bathroom supplies reflected the host's warm and thoughtful care. It was a holiday, so it was hard to find a place to stay, but thanks to the host, I was able to spend the night in a wonderful place. Thank you!

Luxury Tiny Home Farm Stay
We absolutely loved our stay at this airbnb. Quiet and relaxing. Easy trip into the wineries to have a day out but the highlight of the trip was definitely the amazing tiny home and views.

Chillout boutique retreat for couples and dogies
Lovely bright airy quiet house with a great backyard for pets. Walking distance from shops and the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

‘Aigéan’ - Walk to Fly Point, 2/143 Shoal Bay Rd
Jay and Rod’s home was beautiful! We had a wedding to attend at the Little Beach Boathouse, and this place was the perfect location as we could easily walk down to the venue. Would definitely recommend!
