Holiday rentals with beach access in Hunter Region

OMG..... the apartment was absolutely stunning in an outstanding location. Everything was perfect and Jen was very attentive, we had a peaceful getaway. Thanks Jen, for sharing this piece of heaven with us...

Not a bad word! Place was stunning, clean and the host was great with communication.

Great value for money, the QT hotel is just down the road, but much preferred the space and amenities available in the apartment. Plus the price was much better. Beautifully styled with quality inclusions. Location was fantastic, we took bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed the harbour and coastal tracks.

Had an amazing stay at Vivs place! The location was great … walking distance to cafes and restaurants! As for the actual apartment it was so cosy inside and perfect for the two of us! Very clean and had lots of amenities. Couldn’t recommend her place more if you were staying in Newcastle!

Beautiful location, stunning views from the balcony! We were even joined by 6 rainbow lorikeets when we arrived. The flat was spotless, easy to access and Brent was a responsive host. Wish we could have stayed longer!

I loved my stay at Sarah’s and would definitely stay here again if stopping off in Newie! The apartment was stunning and in a gorgeous location within walking distance to a number of restaurant, cafes and amenities. Sarah was an outstanding host who was responsive at all times.

Teresa's place was the perfect destination for a quick getaway. it was clean and tidy, and she was a very responsive, courteous host. We look forward to staying again soon!

What a treat it was this week to be able to make the Surf Shack my base of an evening while spending my days packing up my rental ready for an interstate move. Something really important to me is clear communication prior to a stay and Petra and Amanda nailed that. The Surf Shack was delightfully well positioned for getting out to met friends in city cafes, and clean. The marble flooring stole my heart... the simplicity in there was soothing and I can't wait to be Petra and Amanda's guest again. Highly recommend😍

Tasman was very responsive and helpful throughout the duration of our stay and the place was exactly what we were looking for!

Jenny is a brilliant host and the property is wonderful, perfect for what my 2 kids and I needed while coming from England to visit my parents nearby in Ettalong. Great house, great location, well equipped, good price and fantastic responsive host. We will be back!

A beautiful house in a fantastic spot near Birubi beach and the Tomaree Coastal walk. The layout is great and the house is very stylish. The spa was awesome. Seem small at first but really deep and heats up within 2.5 hours. Plenty of space in the house for a family of 5. Walkable to Birubi beach (10 mins) which is patrolled with a cafe and is great for boogie boarding. Join the coastal walk only 1 min walk away, bring hiking boots as can be a bit muddy/rocky.

Thank you Graeme for your wonderful hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and how well thought out everything is, inside of the property. It was wonderful to be so close to the beach & shops. We can’t wait to visit again.

The proprietors, Panassa and Nathan, demonstrate outstanding hospitality. Their property is meticulously maintained, showcasing exceptional cleanliness and beauty. The beds provide supreme comfort, while the pool is spotless. All facilities operate seamlessly, and the location offers effortless accessibility and generous spaces, thank you so much we got the most amazing weekend

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

We stayed at WhaleTail Nelson Bay for a mini birthday trip with my partner and friends, and the experience was amazing. The house is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with cozy common areas both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were very comprehensive—everything we needed was provided. Located in a peaceful residential area, the home is still just a short drive from Nelson Bay’s d’Albora Marinas, the seashore, and Salamander Bay Square. Insa was a wonderful host—very hospitable, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions. Check-in and check-out were seamless and easy. Our group was very satisfied and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Port Stephens!

Great spot which was perfectly located for beach, bars and restaurants

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Nice place with walking distance to the beach. Will definitely come back again during summer time. Loni is very responsive and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at Adam's place. Loved the large deck - great for kids and adults alike. Everything was as per the description and photos on the website. It is a lovely open plan space. Everything you might need is within walking distance supermarket, bakery, Cafe, Golf Club. Playgrounds and of course the beach and river. Hawks Nest is a beautiful place we will be back.

We have been on a lengthy road trip and Bill’s place was our favourite out of every where we stayed. The views were amazing, everything we could need was catered for and we felt very comfortable and at home. Would have extended our stay if we weren’t on a schedule so will have to come back another time. Not sad about it-a wonderful part of the world and an awesome accommodation option 🙂

Have had a lovely week at Mark and Leah's apartment in shoal bay. Loved the views and the place was great, everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Shoal Bay itself has a really laid back vibe, with great places to eat right at your doorstep. On our drive home we were already planning on coming back, which speaks volumes on how much we enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money
