Zen at Nelson Bay [2024 newly renovated]
We had a wonderful time at Gavin’s place. Clean, great location and clear communication. We will miss this experience very much.

By The Bay | 5mins to Beach/Walking Trail
Awesome place. Clean and tidy, nicely renovated. Very close to town, cafes and restaurants all with walking distance. Was perfect for 2 couples and a young child. Everything we needed. Highly recommend. Thanks

Little Beach Holiday Apartment.
Narelle’s place is situated perfectly 2 mins walk from beautiful Little Beach and other attractions/activities in this area of Port Stephens. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you may possibly need as well as games and rackets for the tennis court. Parking was available on site. Additionally Narelle was quick to respond to any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Narelle’s place. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

Brontilly at the Bay: FREE WiFi, Spa, Pool, Views
We loved our time at the place and couldn’t have been more comfortable - highly recommend!! A++

Little Beach Break
Enjoyed a weekend away at Nikki's place in Nelson Bay. Would have to say this is one of the best Airbnb places i have stayed in. The apartment is very well maintained. Everything is clean, tidy and in working order. One of the best equipped kitchens ever. Communication was always clear, concise, very prompt and always conducted in a friendly tone. Highly recommended to anyone wanting a getaway.

Bayside Beauty on Nelson Bay Beach. Self Contained
We had a short and enjoyable stay at Renee’s place. Loved that it was right in front of the beach and so close to shops! Would definitely come back the next time we come to Port Stephen’s :)

Paradiso on the Bay.Ideal home location
Great central location with beautiful views overlooking the marina. The apartment was very clean and functional, great beach style furniture, very comfy bedding. The kitchen was well equipped and proved very functional, the bathroom was spotless and the garage was very practical. We did not try the pool but it looked clean and pleasant. We enjoyed a fantastic stay, highly recommended!

Ocean view getaway
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!

Dotti's
Place was confortable & had everything I needed.

Shoal Bay Getaway
Visiting to see something at the country club. Very easy to get to. Parking was a bonus. Great location!

Cove 2315 Lux Directly Opp Beach
The unit was very comfortable and homely every thing was spotless great taste in furnishings very coastal in design my daughters and granddaughters were very impressed. We all loved that there were lots of throw rugs to keep warm if needed great touch. There were a couple of things that I found difficult as a short person I found the microwave too high I was not able to use it I felt it could be a hazard trying to get hot food down. The other thing was a lack of storage space for hanging clothes, we had to keep them in our suitcase on the floor but for two nights that was ok. Having said that I would totally recommend your unit for a getaway very enjoyable stay.

Oceana - Beachfront - Free Parking
We really enjoyed our time at this airbnb and would absolutely recommend it. It was very homely with an incredible view!

Quiet tranquillity
The location is great, and the decor and cleanliness of the place is fantastic. If you travel with a snorer, bring earplugs, as sound does travel between the rooms within the apartment, but we couldn't hear anything outside or in other flats. I loved being able to walk to the beach along a quiet path.

Marina Breeze Escape
Fantastic location with a beautiful view of the marina. The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped for our short stay. It had everything we needed and made for a great holiday.

Newcastle Harbour Apt. 2 Bed, 2 Bath, Free Parking
Cal was a pleasure to work with, his communication was great and he was very accommodating by even purchasing a port-a-cot and high chair which made our travels so much easier. The location is nice with a good view over the harbour area and with in walking distance to multiple cafes and restaurants.
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Florentine, 12/11 Columbia Close - Wi-Fi
A fabulous apartment with lots of space for a family of five. Includes a car space. Very clean. Across from the beach. Note the pool is not heated if this is something you need. Our kids lasted 2 minutes in the cold pool! A few welcome condiments would add to the appeal but overall a great place to stay.

Aura 2 bedroom apartment with rooftop hot tub
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!

One Mile Haven - the ideal place for a getaway
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.

Apartment Newcastle Beach
wonderful host, great location on the beach and close to excellent restaurants and cafes.

Barrington, Unit 707/35-45 Shoal Bay Road
Great location, perfect size apartment for our family. We loved our stay here

Stunning views sunrise to sunset - walk to beach -
My family had a lovely Easter. The property had beautiful views and we could relax on the balcony taking in the great vistas. The pool and spa were an added bonus especially for my grandchildren. The property had everything we required for preparing meals. I appreciated that beach towels were supplied. We hope to visit again!

The Adriatic
We had a very short stay. It was affordable and easily accessible. Would love to return in warmer months so we can enjoy the pool.

Lautus Nelson Bay
Perfect location for a girls weekend away. Beautifully styled unit which was clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Even though the unit is in a big block it was quiet and peaceful and the outside space was lovely. Melissa is a great host-fantastic communication and information on the area. We'll definitely be back!
