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.

Unique lakefront glamping site
We had a wonderful weekend stay at this beautiful cabin! The location was perfect — right next to the lake, and just a short walk from the Indian Coffee House restaurant, which was a great bonus. The cabin itself was very well-organized, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The peaceful surroundings and proximity to nature made it the ideal getaway. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and conveniently located retreat.

Beachside apartment in the heart of Newcastle
We had a really comfortable stay in Warwick's apartment. Everything is as described, great location, quiet, easy, and Warwick is great to deal with. Even though it's freezing outside the apartment stays warm. Would stay again.

Wow, what a property! Absolutely beautiful and so well designed. Perfect for 2 couples and the location is fantastic. We all said we could live there….just beautiful. Thank you Melissa and Tony it was perfection!

Caves Beach House
The house was brilliant! Superb location, perfect for any combination of people. Sue's communication was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Thankyou Sue.

Beachside Retreat Granny Flat
Beautiful and peaceful place to stay over the weekend. The room was clean, and premises well kept. The bedroom and beds are comfortable and spacious. The backyard s large and secure for our pups to play in and it’s a short walk to the beach. The host is very responsive and helpful providing us a guide to great local food. My family of four and our pups had a great holiday weekend here and would wholeheartedly recommend this place to others. 10/10 would visit and stay again.

Waterfront house w/ private Beach / kayak/ fishing
Spacious and tidy house, view was amazing!

Merewether modern beachside studio loft
Elizabeth’s loft is just perfect - and she is a wonderful and really helpful host. The space is super clean and comfortable and it has everything you might need, including a well-equipped kitchen and a work desk if you’re in town for business. The location is simply superb being so close to the beach, the best ocean baths ever, great coffee, yoga (at the surf club a short walk away) and the list goes on. Loved my stay!

What an amazing place to stay with family, the apartment is so beautifully decorated with attention to detail and very clean. The rooftop jacuzzi with amazing views is truly remarkable! The host Neha was super helpful with any questions we had and easy to communicate with. Overall I give this place a 10/10 and I highly recommend. Thankyou Neha

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.

Breathtaking Luxe Penthouse - perfect escape
Very relaxing place to spend a week or weekend. Has everything and walking distance to everything

CAVES BEACH Wellness Retreat - luxury Guest Suite
Nicole’s place was so beautiful. As soon as you arrive you feel right at home. It comes with everything you need and just the right amount of space. Nicole is helpful and thoughtful and since it was my first time using airbnb I was abit nervous but she made the whole process easier for me. There’s local Restuarants and grocery shops and a pub and beach all within walking distance so the location of her place and pretty much everything else is 10/10. Thank you for hosting us Nicole we hope we are able to visit again soon.

the best view in town
Bernadette’s place is a great find! Beautiful view overlooking the pool and lake, and the complimentary coffee/tea/cookies were a nice touch. Bed was also super comfy! Would definitely stay here again

The Cove - Family Retreat With Pool Near Beach
The whole house was just right for us. 6 adults and 2 toddlers and a baby. Hannah even offered a cot and high chair for us. She is very responsive and thoughtful. She even left some Easter surprises for us in the fridge. It was great having the outdoor balcony upstairs too so we could relax (as much as you can with little ones around) and enjoy the view. We used the house and pool a lot as the children are so young. Great location and a wonderful home.

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.

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

Castaway @ Nelson Bay
We had a fantastic stay at Marcus and Helen's property. The decor is absolutely lovely—thoughtfully chosen and welcoming, creating a real home-away-from-home vibe. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed, including quality crockery and utensils. The furniture throughout the house was very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. On top of all that, the location was ideal—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see and do. Highly recommended!

Bahia at Shoal Bay
Cosy and well-furnished place, great location, easy to communicate with the host. Overall, a comfortable stay and would return.

Stunning 1-2 bedroom luxury Oceanside apartment
Great news place to stay, very welcoming, clean and well situated. Will be back.

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 :)

Modern beach house
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!

Paradise Penthouse; Beach Front Style and Luxury.
The Paradise Penthouse apartment was exactly that - a slide of paradise and absolutely beautiful! Spacious and luxurious with the feel of the ocean right up to your feet. We couldn’t get over the stunning views for our girls weekend with lots of space for us all to enjoy comfortably - we hardly left the apartment. The home was well stocked, striking a balance of both luxe and homey, with plenty to do and a park right across the road for walks with the dog. Jo and Louise were extremely communicative the entire time - thank you for having us!

Sojourn at the Cove - opposite Heros Beach
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.
