Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

Luxury Accomodation | LOFT Corlette | Pet Friendly
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.

Caves Beach House
My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
This is such a beautiful property with great amenities, it was clean and felt like a home. we had such a fun time being here! especially the teenage kids, one of our best holidays. They wanted to go back as soon as we left. And thank you so much to julie she made the experience so much more enjoyable with her quick and friendly responses. Check in was simple and smooth, the directions and house rules were so easy to follow, even check out was a breeze, would love to visit again. thanks again for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your amazing home.

Merewether modern beachside studio loft
Loved my stay here! Elizabeth let me leave my stuff in the accommodation in the morning (hours before check in), left lovely snacks and everything you need for breakfast in the unit, and was very kind and helpful. Elizabeth also offered me a lift to the train station cause the rain was so heavy and brought my washing to me when it was finished in the dryer (through the pouring rain). The accommodation is so cosy and actually feels a lot bigger than the photos indicate. The location is amazing, you’re barely 200 m to the beach, the best coffee spots in town (my opinion as a previous local) and some of the best pubs/ restaurants. I’ve stayed in loads of Airbnb’s and Elizabeth has got to be the kindest nicest host I’ve ever had.

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.

Terri was amazing! So nice and welcoming and her place is amazing! So relaxing and so clean! Was a great family holiday!

CAVES BEACH Wellness Retreat - luxury Guest Suite
My partner and I had such a lovely stay at Nicole’s place. It was quiet and private with walking distance to the beach. Great location for morning beach walks and dinners at the nearby Caves hotel. Nicole was very responsive and left us notes with great recommendations for food in the area. The only sad part was we wished we could’ve stayed longer! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a beach getaway. Thanks Nicole!

Bella Manor Your home away from home
Really enjoyed my stay It was as described and very family friendly. Nice quiet location. Kids loved the pool. Will be back for sure.

Bateau Bay Beach Retreat
Very homely, perfect location for walking down to Bateau Beach or along the coast track. Kids loved the pool which is a lot bigger than it appears in the photo. Gwendoline was very hospitable.

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Bali Inspired Studio with Pool
We had a wonderful stay, well stocked with essentials needed for a short stay and only a short walk to the beach and local cafes. It felt like a quiet oasis.

Angela’s place is off the beaten tourist track, and was just what we wanted. It’s in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood with easy access to the beach. The unit is high above the street with views of the surf. We loved it!

Walk to the Beach Toukley Norah Head
Gail was extremely responsive and accomodating. The place itself is so clean! We felt right at home. Aircon was a treat and the beach was a 2min walk down the road. I highly recommend staying here, and will come again! Thank you Gail :)

2 Bedroom Unit on Wamberal/Terrigal beach.
Delightful 2bdrm unit on ground floor, walking distance to Terrigal Beach, restaurants & cafe strip. Myself and 2 friends stayed here 2 nights and felt comfortable from start to finish. Had everything we needed. Best part was direct access to Wamberal beach from backyard! Would certainly stay here again in future.

Central Coast Beachfront Penthouse Apartment
My friends and I had a wonderful stay in an idyllic setting opposite the ocean. One of my friends had reduced mobility at this time but could still enjoy the 270 degree views of the sea from the apartment. A great place to relax and close walking distance to The Entrance shops and beaches. Luisa was very responsive and addressed all my questions, flexible with check in and check out which was simple.

Port Stephens - Pindimar Beach House
Thank you Steven for sharing your beautiful home with us. My girlfriends and I had the best time relaxing inside out outside your home. Plenty of spaces to relax and play. Everything was perfect and we all look forward to spending time together there again. The sunsets and views are unforgettable! Cheers for your kindness Steven.

Beach, Spa, Pets, Pool Table, Boards, Rods, Bikes
Wonderful place to stay and met all our needs. Craig’s house is in the perfect spot for the beach and the other activities we were there for. Craig was so easy to deal with and was so responsive and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a spot in The Entrance

Stunning 1-2 bedroom luxury Oceanside apartment
An absolutely beautiful apartment in a stunning location. First thing we did was enjoy a beverage in the balcony overlooking to water. Thankyou so much.

Stunning Absolute Beachfront Penthouse
First impressions count. And this property impressed. Number 4, of 17 Calias in Wamberal, delivered all that we needed for our short break from Sydney. Mod cons, a cracking view with all that nature provides in full view, and a host, Peter, whom demonstrated a warm and welcoming vibs that was above and beyond. Very Satisfied with the service, the space and the location. Highly Recommended
