Cottage holiday rentals in Nelson Bay

I recently stayed at this beautiful retreat and was thoroughly impressed. The entire property was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully maintained. The horses were gentle and a joy to be around, they even come close to house. was really nice to pet them. The spa and pool area was a true highlight: serene, clean, and incredibly rejuvenating. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or a bit of adventure, this place offers the perfect balance. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return. Thank you for having us!

lovely little place clean and well maintained in a quiet area. They left bacon and eggs and a few other goodies for us to enjoy which was very much appreciated. Spa was lovely and clean unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it. Highly recommend for staying and exploring the Hunter Valley.

Kerry’s place was perfect for us. The champagne and cheese platter on arrival was a great touch & the amenities provided are hard to find at such an affordable price

This is my second time staying at this cottage and it felt like home again. Cecilia is warm and friendly and takes great pride in being a host. Everything is as described and the cottage has what you need for a short or long stay. It’s a great location in Stockton, with all amenities accessible on foot. This is one of the best, if not the best, Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

We only had a short overnight stay driving from Gippsland to the Sunshine Coast. It was a great place to relax and get a good nights sleep. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made our dog Poppy feel very welcome. The house was on a busy street but Peter has set up the house and surrounding gardens perfectly to provide a quiet place to relax and stay. Unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to cook up the bacon and eggs which were provided but it looked delicious.

My partner and I stayed in Cadair Cottage 1 and we really really enjoyed our short time here. We were only here for a couple of nights but would have loved to extend our trip. There is so much to like about this place. Firstly, the surroundings are just absolutely beautiful - you are in nature and if you’re coming from a city landscape you’ll switch off so quickly. The cottage itself was spotless and had such a homely feel. All of the amenities you’d need with a fireplace, stove top, wifi, tv with foxtel and streaming - beautiful bedrooms and comfortable linen. The hot tub is also so nice to relax in and watch the sun come down. The yard (which is fully fenced) offers an expansive play area for your furry friends and our girl Peppa absolutely loved her time here too. She had so much fun. You are visited by neighbouring sheep and cows and it’s truly magical to watch them graze and trail by. Thank you, Simone - we can’t wait to return to this beautiful property again.

An absolute stunning property, we couldn’t believe how big the house was despite looking small. It was very cozy and loved the special touch of getting into a warm (electric blanket) bed at night. The views were to die for and baths were a great idea. We 100% recommend and would love to come back one day.

What an amazing experience we had with our little ones, from waking up to feeding the horses, playing on the swing set to walking around the property. Eloise was so helpful and communicated all information that we needed. Its a perfect secluded home for getting away with the family.

Amazing place. One of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. Peaceful and quiet with very comfortable beds and furniture. Excellent host who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need and want. Will happily leave you alone or keep you company and entertain you, if you prefer. Cozy fireplace. Modern bathroom. Awesome sauna and pool. Amazing views with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Excellent fire pit. Clear views of the stars and the Milky Way. A perfect getaway.

Fabulous eclectic beach style house. Great size, and easily accommodates number of guests specified. Relaxing, peaceful courtyard area. Exceptionally clean throughout. It’s an easy 20 minute walking distance to Fingal Bay or Shoal Bay beaches either direction, with Box Beach close by too. Nelson Bay is 5 minute drive for Woollies. We really enjoyed our long weekend and had a wonderful relaxing time. Will definitely book again

We loved staying at the Riverhaus and cannot wait till the next time we return. Sheriden and Tom thank you so much for this airbnb! The layout, presentation, communication could not be faulted. We would highly recommend staying here.

Tanya’s place was a perfect B&B with actual breakfast provided (eggs, bacon, bread, OJ, milk etc). It was so spacious and great that it was pet friendly. It was walking distance to a few vineyards and very close to other wineries and activities. Highly recommend.

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 Salty Dog Cottage, which was perfectly as described. The beds and linen were super comfortable, so the whole family slept well. I loved the rustic charm, nautical decor and dog-friendly backyard. The quality of the food at the pub next door was better than at the sailing club across the road (in our view!).

We had a wonderful time at Sally and Simon’s place. It was so lovely to have an enclosed yard for our active dog and to be able to let him run in their paddock off lead. The bed was comfy and they even had chromecast set up for movie night! We enjoyed using the fire pit and the freshly laid eggs from their chickens. Thanks for an awesome time! We’ll be back!

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!

Great place. Our second time to stay. Very comfortable, absolutely spotless and close to everything you need.

We spent the weekend in the hunter and this place was the perfect fit for us! Very peaceful, warm in the winter nights , easy check in and a very helpful host throughout. Would recommend it! We also saw kangaroos which was a big plus for me!

A truly wonderful weekend away. Such a warm welcoming feeling, the property and cottage is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The gardens create such a sense of tranquility and the house is full of relaxing corners to calm and entertain any guest. From books, to movies, games to cooking, you don’t even need to leave the house. The kitchen is so well equipped and the be beds were really comfortable. Every little detail, and more, has been thought of. The property is immaculately clean and full of beautiful art and decor. My kids (8 and 6) loved it too. Plenty to keep them entertained while my mum and I relaxed. The location is great too. Easy walk to the beach and loads of other activities nearby. Couldn’t speak highly enough of this stay. Thanks for a magical weekend away.

Beautifully kept property and amenities, and such a great place tounwind and relax. Alecia & Lloyd are wonderful hosts and they were proactive throughout the whole duration of our stay to make sure that our stay was relaxing & that all our needs were met. Was an awesome experience getting to meet their horses & feeding them.

Alicia was an incredible host! Such a wonderful place and location. Will definitely be booking another trip there soon😁

What a gem! Our stay at this stunning cottage was faultless. Elizabeth was a fantastic host, great communication, very accommodating, and gave us excellent local tips (Toronto Hotel for dinner and Mizumi for takeaway were both great). We were spoilt with a welcome gift of wine and chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs, such a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, beds were super comfy with beautiful linen, and the big fluffy towels, bathroom amenities made it feel like a luxury hotel. All the extras were thought of, oils and seasonings for cooking, even washing capsules and stain remover, a lifesaver when traveling with kids! We fished off the jetty daily (caught a Bream, Flathead, Octopus, Crab, Whiting), used the kayaks, and relaxed in the cosy TV room. We enjoyed the fire pit one night too, with wood provided. The cottage is even better than the photos. 100% recommend and hope to return soon!

We had a great time and an awesome stay- had everything we needed for a relaxing week at Shoal bay- will definitely be back!

Lovely cabin on the lake in a quiet neighbourhood, comfortable bed, unfortunately very windy so we didn’t get to use the kayaks
