Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Great Lakes Council

Had a fantastic time, beautiful location, wonderful welcoming staff, stunning unit. Already planning to go back for a longer stay.

Lovely place in a great location, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was cosy, well-maintained, and Alana made everything easy from check-in to check-out.

Fiona was a fabulous host. Super responsive and helpful. Her apartment is in a great location with an easy walk to the beach. Comfortable with everything you need. We had a fabulous time 😀

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morna Magic! It was our first family holiday with our 5month old. The place was private clean and equipped with all amenities. Location was a stones throw away from the beautiful Birubi Beach and Tomaree National Park Trail making it easy without taking pram etc. Mark was proactive and responsive with all communications. Will definitely come again!

Amazing place to stay, walking distance from everything good in Nelson Bay. Pleasure staying here with my mates

Donna was very friendly and easy to deal with. Definitely will be coming back for another stay

Yantra's place was a peaceful hideaway tucked away in Avoca. The place was clean and well maintained yet cozy, had all the amenities we needed (portable stove, pots and pans, oil, utensils, washing machine, internet, dryer). The outdoor sitting area was comfortable and overlooked the beautiful garden. The place colourful and full of personality, we felt very at home during our stay. Thank you again.

Spacious and well-maintained unit, with amazing views. Few minutes walk to the town center and the marina. Can't complain about Mimi/Insa's hosting..will stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming sandstone cottage in Kurrajong. The house is spacious and surrounded by peaceful bushland, with lovely walking trails and a great campfire spot. We especially enjoyed the unique cowboy and vintage memorabilia that gave the place so much character. The kitchen was very well equipped, allowing us to cook hearty meals and really make the space feel like home. On our last night, we ended the trip perfectly with a cozy campfire and roasted veggies under the stars. A beautiful, remote getaway—perfect for the Easter long weekend and a much-needed escape from the busy city life.

We had the best time!!! We had a whole group of friends, children and dogs and the place was perfect!! They blew up a jumping castle for the kids. There was plenty of activities for the adults like table tennis, volleyball etc. The house had ample room for people to sleep and camp. Megan was so communicative and helpful. The kitchen was full of every piece of crockery and cutlery you needed! We loved it and would go back in a heart beat!!!

Clean and tidy place, close to beach and main strip. Easy to follow instructions on checking in and out.

Great space for a nice get away with friends or family! House was clean and easy to check in to. Was close to many different attractions

we stayed at Villa Nessa for a bucks weekend with 14 guys, and it was absolutely perfect. The house was immaculate, spacious, and felt more like a home than a rental. There were plenty of comfortable beds, large living areas, and a fully equipped kitchen that made group meals easy. The spa was a standout feature—hot, clean, and ideal for relaxing after a long day. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet still close to everything we needed. Although we didn’t meet Vanessa in person, she was an exceptional host. Her communication was prompt, polite, and super helpful from start to finish. She made everything smooth and stress-free, even with a large group. It’s clear she puts a lot of care into making the home welcoming and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our mate’s upcoming wedding. Highly recommended to any group looking for a clean, relaxing, and well-managed stay. Would definitely return to Villa Nessa

As a large group we found the facilities to be excellent. The spa was clean and well maintained. Kitchen and bathroom facilities were also more than adequate for a large group. The area has a huge variety of water activities, shopping, nature, restaurants. The home is not easily accessed by the frail or the elderly due to the stairs and steep driveway but the view is amazing.

Our team had a great stay, thanks again!

We had a lovely 3 night weekend at Alicia’s house. We had 4 couples and it worked well for us. Open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area was very comfy. Kitchen was well equipped with all sorts of appliances and lots of condiments . We appreciated all the goodies which Alicia left for us including a bottle of Spumante and 8 chilled glasses in the fridge which was very thoughtful. We also loved the dressing gowns and slippers in all the bedrooms - a lovely touch which we appreciated. The place was spotlessly clean and generous provisions were left for us. The house is located in a new housing estate, with Coles 5 minutes away which was super convenient and still close to the wineries. It is a bight, light house and we loved having morning coffee on the lounges outside in the sun. All in all a great weekend away - thanks for sharing your house with us Alicia.
