Holiday rentals with a hot tub in Salamander Bay

The entire place felt right at home. We had an amazing stay and the hosts are just perfect… Very responsive , everything was just as described. Great experience.

Our stay at Bella Vista was pure heaven. It’s been 10 days since we left and every day we have reminisced, scrolled through photos and contemplated when we can visit again! My son said today ‘I don’t want to go to school, why can’t we just live at Bella Vista!!’ This place was perfect for a family getaway. It was spacious, luxurious, peaceful and had everything we needed. The view is incredible. We can’t wait to go back.

The kids loved the pool table and xbox. Plenty of space for everyone.

It was a great stay! Excellent place to be in Port Stephens. Marie was always very friendly and helpful. I can definitely recommend to stay at this house.

We stayed here to attend a wedding at Eaglereach. It is remote, but not as hard to get to as we'd feared. The road up is narrow and windy, not as steep as I'd expected and tarred most of the way so quite driveable. The Gallery is one of a number of houses in the Eaglereach precinct, but others are barely visible so it is quite private. The house was comfortable but could be improved with a more up to date kitchen - there is no dishwasher, for example. It was a chilly weekend and I would have appreciated some heating in the bathroom, which is a bit spartan. Also we were surprised there was no doona on the bed and no electric blanket. But the location is what you pay for and it was beautiful and peaceful, and the wallabies do come right up to the back door!

We had an amazing stay! Perfect set up for groups of friends or two families like we were. We loved the extra touches like balled ice cubes and lots of extra bath and beach towels! Our kids loved the spa/pool and it was nice and warm which was a perfect activity for them even in the rain! This place is walking distance to the shops, marina and cafes/restaurants! Richard was an amazing host and communicated very fast with any questions we had about the spa! The set up is great and so relaxing! Nice to have three different areas to sit too and chill out with enough space to not be on top of your other guests! We had a great time and will be back!! Thank you!

This is the second time we've stayed at Greg's place. Always a big group and we find the house ideal for us. We love the kitchen and cooked up a feast with all the available utensils. Relaxing afterwards in the Spa was the cherry on the top. Greg is incredibly responsive and we know the house will be spotless with all the extras such as linen, towels, good working appliances and a well stocked fridge etc Can't recommend Greg highly enough

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.

lovely home. very close to Greenhills which had everything we needed and lots to do. It was nice having coffee, tea and other essentials. It was easy to get in with the instructions provided

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

Nothing to complain, everything is excellent!

We really had a nice stay , Linda is a great host and she has kept the property at pristine condition with immaculate attention to details. Really wonderful place to stay and enjoy morning tea with great surroundings with close proximity to everything. We stayed for 4 nights and will highly recommend to anyone travelling to Port Stephen’s area.

Had an amazing and relaxing weekend. The location and cabin exceeded my expectations. The hot tub topped off our weekend. Will definitely be going back again. Thanks Dee

Wow if you want beautiful, spectacular and peaceful then this is the place. It's amazing and the views are better than the photos. My husband and I loved it so much we didn't want to leave. The interaction with the native wildlife was wonderful. The lodge is very clean and accomodating and has everything that you would need. Susanne and Dave were great hosts and always providing responses really quickly. I can't wait to go back and enjoy a little piece of heaven again.

It was absolutely beautiful to stay here. The birds chirping every morning makes you feel right at ease. Thank you so much for a great stay.

What an amazing place, the view is spectacular! We wanted a peaceful relaxing weekend away from the city and this place was ideal. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to escape and unwind.

The most memorable get away we have ever had. Adorable and comfortable cabin with the most spectacular views. Adults, teens and kids all loved our stay and didn't want to leave. Host was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for the stay in your beautiful property Susan. We cannot wait to come back.

Highly recommend

I would highly recommend kylies artists cottage! absolutely beautiful, her sculptures and artworks were even more beautiful and incredible than I could've imagined. Great location, walking distance to town. Very comfy bed, great sleep! Definitely will be returning to this beautiful accommodation!

Bernadette’s place is definitely worth a visit. I had browsed dozens of locations searching for the ideal, private and beautiful location and this was it. Bernadette was very responsive initially and made booking a breeze with flexibility for check in/out time to suit my circumstances. The location is extremely private, with a hot tub that makes the property so worthwhile. Perfect for a romantic weekend with the missus or a family looking to unwind and spend some quality time with one another.
