Family-friendly holiday rentals in Fingal Bay

Had a great stay! The place was beautiful and exactly as described. The host was very helpful and kind. Thank you!

Had a most lovely time in the cabin. There are a few cabins in the location, all with enough space and spacing to let you feel like you are away from it all. The hot tub was lovely, being able to be accessed directly out the front of the cabin. There was plenty of glassware and other things so that if you wanted to you could use it. We brought our own, but you wouldn't need to. It's a great location, close to the beach and a short 10 to 15 minute drive to other nearby locations with lots of restaurant and food options.

Great location Large, spacious house full of everything you need!

Armando is a Super host. He looked after us very well. Even though we cut short our trip, we hope to enjoy Armando's home, in our next visit to Newcastle.

A great place in the middle of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Super easy to get around from here and a nice stay.

Place is amazing and very close to everything. Highly recommend to anyone

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 cafés 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.

Very well laid out house with giant open plan kitchen, great for family gatherings. Comfy beds and lots of space to lounge around. Next level spa, more like a swimming pool, amazing.

We had such a lovely stay – the place was warm and cosy, perfect for a relaxing family retreat. It’s in a quiet bush setting but still super convenient, just a 10-minute drive to Merewether Beach and Hickson Street Lookout. We loved taking our dogs for walks along Merewether Beach and even found a great dog-friendly café nearby – the perfect spot for an early brekkie and sunrise. The lookout was stunning at sunset, though dogs aren’t allowed there, so we left ours in the car for a short while. The cottage has a big wooden table out on the deck, and we really enjoyed having lunch there, listening to the frogs singing while the dogs explored the garden. Such great value for a pet-friendly getaway. Thanks so much, Stewart!

Great house to stay in! Very spacious and close to the beach/shops and a short drive from other surrounding beaches and shops. Amazing price for what you get as well. Lovely back yard and easy to get in to.

We had a great stay at Joanne’s place. It was right near a beautiful beach, and a short walk to great restaurants. It had everything that we needed, and a super comfy bed. Thanks for a great stay.

we had a beautiful stay in habitat. A good place to go reset, relax,unwind with the beach closely{walking distance}. Would definetly rebook and recommend.

Beautiful tranquil Cottage with amazing water views and cosy and comfortable accommodation . Loved that the Cottage was pet friendly and great for the kids, we all loved the getaway for the weekend. Responsive helpful Host provided lots f local information. Thanks DJ😊

Our extended family had a wonderful long weekend at Windmill Lodge. There is lots of space and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for large groups. We also made use of the wood fire for pizza and the extra large paella pan. Lots of lounges and seating and a big long dining table perfect for large groups. Tanya was very helpful is setting up extra beds as we required and we felt very at home.

Loved the uninhibited view across the water/harbour and the domain in front of the property. Lovely and private. We were a bit early but Sandra was so accommodating and pleasant. The bed was super comfortable. We didn't use any of the food she had there for us but we really did appreciate the beautiful gesture - made us feel very much at home. Thank you Sandra! We loved staying there.

We had a very nice 6 nights staying here. The backyard was secure for our 3 kilo dog. It rained a lot while we were there but we felt very comfortable and safe. The undercover area in the backyard was helpful in the rain to take the dog out. There were also 2 umbrellas provided. The house was a great size for our family of 3 plus the dog. Beach and small shopping centre were easy walking distance. We would all happily stay there again.

lovely spacious apartment in a good location, perfect for a family. BBQ area very good and pool ok. Janet was very helpful and responded very quickly to a small issue with the pool, great host.

Had the opportunity to at Paul's place. Good space for family of 5. Everything you need was there. Access to 2 car parks underground was good. Look forward to staying there again.

We selected Ruth’s BnB based on availability and proximity to John Hunter Hosp. So very glad we did as we got an extremely flexible Hosp, air BnB that had a home feel and all the little nick nacks that you need in daily life that many BnBs don’t cover.

Simon’s place is simply amazing. Not only is a great house, in an amazing spot but It was equipped with everything anyone could ever possibly need. Simon was always available and responsive to any queries, and went the extra mile to find out more about our plans and interests so he could recommend activities or offer additions l help. I have stayed in plenty of Airbnb’s and I must say I think this tops them all, and no doubt I will be back.

Tania was lovely - really friendly. She was very responsive and provided tips on things to do during the stay. She has the makes herself available if there are any issues (we had a tiny issue with the key, which was resolved immediately), but otherwise ensures that she doesn't intrude on your stay. She is very mindful of this.

We had a great stay! Check-in was easy, communication with Steph was great, and the location was super convenient. The place had everything we needed, plenty of space, and great amenities. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The kids and I had the loveliest stay at Amanda’s house. It was so cosy & the host is amazing as well. Wished we booked longer!

Lovely place. Rene was very helpful especially with late check out which we requested at short notice. No cot was provided for our 4 month old infant even though she was listed on our booking as a guest. Rene did try to source one for us but wasnt able to, so we had to go and buy one from Kmart. We also had to clean the bbq before using it but that was not a big deal. We had a very enjoyable stay overall and would definitely recommend/book again.
