Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Port Stephens Council

Loved every minute of our stay! The house was stocked with everything we could have needed, bbq, beach and paddle boards for the bay. Thank you to our wonderful hosts.

We had a great experience. The place was lovely and clean, with beautiful water views that made the stay even more relaxing. There was plenty of space, which made it perfect for unwinding and feeling at home. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and spacious getaway.

We managed to fit ourselves, baby and dog into the tiny home and it was fine! Was something different to try and it was great to have our dog with us. The place was clean, Ed was lovely to deal with and bed etc were very comfy.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, very accommodating and cozy, super close to everything you need, highly recommend

We had such a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly nice and friendly from the moment we booked the stay. The house was spotless and beautifully maintained, which made us feel right at home. What truly stood out was the amazing welcome they gave us — it was so warm and thoughtful. You can really tell they care about their guests. Highly recommend staying here — we’d love to come back!

This house is in a fantastic location with a terrific view. The layout of the house was perfect for our family of 5 and we quickly felt right at home.

Beautiful location, great house. We loved the fire pit, the extra accomodation out the back and the comfy beds. Thanks for hosting us 👌

Absolutely magic. The location is next-level — peaceful, private… and those views! Aside from the property being spotless, beautifully styled and with every amenity you could possibly want, Andrea made us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we booked. Incredible communication, fresh sourdough from a local bakery on arrival and our groceries picked up and unpacked for us — the greatest luxury! We travelled in late Autumn, but that didn’t stop us swimming in the beautifully heated pool and curling up on the balcony with blankets. The board games were such a fun way to spend our evenings and the dog treats and beds had our pups feeling like royalty. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for all of your care during our stay Andrea!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Berry House. Glenn was a top host, very friendly and charming. He was on top of all communications and always had the right answer. The house was great. The indoor fire was v enjoyable and everything we needed was there. Generous supply of coffee pods, firewood kept us v comfortable. The sauna was much enjoyed though the pool was too cold.. I’m sure it would be a treat in summer. The dogs, Willow and Esther, were one of the highlights for our two boys. They had a great time. The highlight for the adults was the huge outdoor fire pit. Very special for a pre and post dinner chat.

Great accomodation, close to the beach and well presented

My mum, my brother and I had a great time at Karen’s self-check-in accommodation in Bobs Farm. My wife and I got married at the winery and restaurant Sunset + Vine a few km down the road from the place, and the place was perfect for our needs. Karen was an amazing responsive host, and even assisted with picking up my mother and brother at the end of the night after the ended celebration to ensure they got home safe. Would highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Lauren’s place! Beautiful, modern interior, walking distance to Shoal Bay for restaurants, pub, bike hire or to watch the dolphins at sunset. Or for the more intrepid, lots of hiking options right out the back door. The house was so well-equipped we also spent some days enjoying the pool, pizza oven and outdoor entertaining area. Highly recommended!

The house was beautiful plenty rooms for the family especially the pool. Very safe close to shops. Everything you need is there. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house. New Zealand family so happy and we will be back for another reunion.

Absolutely wonderful! We had a lovely peaceful stay at Jen’s house. It was brilliant. Sparkling clean, had everything we needed. The BBQ was great. It was so relaxing. Our little dog loved his stay too. Jen is a fantastic host

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!

We had a fantastic time at Julie’s Airbnb! She was incredibly accommodating and made us feel right at home. The house was beautiful and spacious, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely getaway. Thank you, Julie!

Bryony’s place is just magical. It had everything we needed and more. The view and the wrap around verandah were what stood out for us. Having small people, it meant they were safe when they were playing outside, which meant we could actually relax and enjoy ourselves. The kitchen was really well equipped and we appreciated the little things we didn’t have to pack such as oils, coffee, dishwashing tablets and shampoo etc. The house was extremely comfortable for a large party of 9 as we were able to retreat to different areas of the house when needed. It would be even better if there was a vacuum and a mop so that we could adequately clean up after ourselves. We had the most enjoyable time and hope to book again.

The place was absolutely beautiful! It had a fully stocked kitchen which was great for cooking big meals for a group at home. It was private, quiet, comfortable and very generously stocked with everything and anything you might need! Not to mention incredibly clean also. James was super responsive to any questions we had, was very kind and made the experience so seamless. 😊

Great place to stay! Loved the fire pit at the front with water views. And the place was nice and cosy.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came as a full family (two young boys, grandmother, dog) and every member felt right at home. The house is stylish and luxe, but more importantly it was spotless and thoughtfully laid out and stocked. We particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, but also the baby-gate which meant that we could block off the stairs and relax while upstairs. Wonderful hosts, and wonderful accommodation!

Great place to stay: quiet, comfortable, tidy and spacious - its easy driving distance to local amenities and not far from Newcastle or other spots along the coast

We had an amazing stay for our annual golf trip. The home was spacious with plenty of sleeping options and felt very comfortable. With just a short walk to the beach for a swim and a short drive to the golf course, the property was the ideal location for us. Rebecca was an amazing and accommodating host and highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay at SOM #2 - villa was super clean and comfy, with every amenity, as described. Peaceful location and short walk into Shoal Bay with plenty to do and cafe's/restaurants nearby. Would def visit again!
