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.

The Laneway Lodgings

KarenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We were so impressed to find such beautiful accommodation that was pet friendly right in the middle of Newcastle! The accommodation was clean, aesthetically lovely, with little touches to make everything special. Keran provided everything you could possibly want or need including lovely snacks, beach towels, coffee and tea, books and much more. I would definitely recommend accommodation and will book in again and again :)

Vue One Nelson Bay Waterfront Luxury

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

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.

The Love Nest - Luxury Beach Retreat at Hawks Nest

KateRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Love Nest is truly a love nest. Both my husband and I absolutely adored our time in Kristins special sanctuary. It is so well equipped with everything you need and right across from the beach. The sounds of the birds and waves are truly magic from both the balcony and inside. We cant wait to come back as was an exception stay. Our gratitude.

Family Friendly Beach Apartment Spectacular Views

MelissaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafĆ©s just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.

This was such a peaceful, relaxing stay. We loved the views and the rainbow lorikeets that visited of an afternoon! My partner and I were travelling on our honeymoon and this is such a phenomenal space that has been created, with a luxurious feel and stunning views, with lots of great places to see, restaurant and cafes to visit! Mitch recommended some things to do and places to see which was also very helpful! I would definitely recommend this space to couples travelling and would love to come back in the future!

Tahlee Waterfront Cottage

YvonneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I found our stay extremely relaxing a step back in time may not suit another looking for modern convenience. I am use to using dam water. Some items need maintenance Electric blanket not working one side of bed. Some light bulbs need replacing. There was mould on cooking utensils and a strong ammonia smell when opening cupboard doors. I am only mentioning to alert you to these issues. I washed items I needed.

This property was outstanding as far as location goes, we were able to easily walk to anywhere we needed to go. The place was clean and was the perfect choice for our weekend getaway. Danielle was very responsive and checked in regularly to make sure everything was ok. It was very clear that she is passionate about the property. The welcome card and snacks were a lovely touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy cottage close to beach

NickRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Stephan's place is lovely. My wife loved the decor. Some very pretty touches that helps to make you feel relaxed and in a home away from home. Convenient location for what we wanted to see and do in Nelson Bay. 15 minute walk along the bay foreshore to the shopping centre and marina. Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll be back around the same time next year.
