The Loft @ Merewether Heights
My mother and I absolutely loved staying here. Inside and out was actually even better than the photos showed. Was a comfortable, tidy, modern, quiet space. Outside with the spa, pool and sauna made us feel like we were in a resort in Bali. Given the chance we will definitely stay again.

Turtle Beach Cottage
The places was clean and easy to find. It had everything we needed and extra. The other guests on this short vacation walked and and were just wow-ed by how the place looked. It was a great stay! Thank you so much for approving our booking!

La Casa Bianca ~ (13 people)availability upon enq
Super host! Would love to stay there again.

Family Beach House with Swim Spa
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.

Spacious coastal retreat with pool
We had a great family stay at Andrew's. The house was clean, spacious, with an organised & equipped kitchen, nicely styled and was relaxing place for a weekend getaway. Walking distance to the bay & surrounds. Andrew was informative and responsive throughout our stay, would highly recommend this property.

Luxury coastal house, pool, walk to shop & beach
Jaymie was an absolute dream host! The house was immaculately clean and stunningly beautiful. We loved every detail, from the decor to the thoughtful touches throughout. The welcome present was such a lovely surprise - so thoughtful and made us feel instantly at home. The space accommodated us perfectly, and we felt right at home. Would definitely be interested to come back again. Highly recommend!

"The 19th Hole!"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 'The 19th Hole'. Beautifully appointed accommodation backing onto the Nelson Bay Golf Course. Everything you could wish for was supplied; breakfast supplies, plenty of fresh fruits and a pantry full of goods. Comfortable beds and a private setting made for a good night's sleep. Two separate living spaces ensured everyone had their 'own space'. The best appointed laundry facilities we have ever seen. Internal access to the double garage was ideal for storing our golfing gear overnight. An easy 10 minute walk to the centre of Nelson Bay. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We will be sure to book in for our next holiday in Nelson Bay!

The Bunker/Close to Town/ Modern/ *LIFT*

The Wreck Room Holiday House, Shoal Bay
Great place to stay with kids! Lots of space and near the beach and shops. Loved the garden and the view from the kitchen and living room - beautiful sunsets!

Curlew Sands
Our stay was ideal for a family get together and to attend a wedding locally. Our hosts were very accomodating and friendly which made our arrival and departure easy. We were impressed with the property location, view, layout and everything that being at home provides. We didn’t need anything except our clothes and food. I would highly recommend staying at Curlew Sands, and we would definitely stay again. The price for the size and location was perfect! Thanks James and Alison for making our first stay with Air BnB and Curlew Sands a memorable one! Donna and Tony.

Relaxing Modern Bungalow
Jo’s place was stunning to stay in for a weekend getaway. 10/10. Absolutely gorgeous

Bay Retreat Villa
We really enjoyed our stay at Lee’s place. We had 13 adults so we had plenty of room between the 2 houses. Place is walking distance to Wests Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay Beach, Tomaree Head summit walk. The place can accommodate 8 cars max on premise (4 in the garage) and 4 on the carport.

The Drift
Great location and property, everything provided that you could need, just a couple small maintenance issues.

Sojourn at the Cove - opposite Heros Beach
The house was very clean and comfortable, and the nearby cove was fun to paddle in on the stand up paddle boards provided, with a short walk to the shore. North Arm Cove is a peaceful suburb and there are some fire trails through the bush behind the house, but no coastal walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking very easy. We had fun using the billiard table and car racing simulator. It is a 20 minute drive to Coles, surf beaches, and excellent restaurants in Tea Gardens.

Spacious Retreat in the heart of Nelson Bay
The house was spacious and as described. Location wise is close to town and amenities . Michael was a very responsive host.

Sandy Feet Retreat
We had a great stay in Hawks Nest at Kristina’s place. The accomodation was stunning and perfect for a get away from Sydney. The doggo loved the space to be able run around in the garden. It really was the perfect set up to be able have some home cook nights in and also local to the shops is there was anything we need. Would highly recommend and we will be back for sure.

Port Stephens - Pindimar Beach House
We had a great experience. The place was lovely and clean, with beautiful water views that made the stay even more relaxing. There was plenty of space, which made it perfect for unwinding and feeling at home. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and spacious getaway.

Birubi Blue Beach House. Sun, Sand & Surf.
Samantha’s place was the wonderful retreat that we needed. The location is excellent, being close to beaches and parks, and the place itself was very clean, beautifully presented, and was decked out with all that we needed for our stay and more. We didn’t need to ask any questions because instructions were so clear and communication was proactive. We instantly relaxed and will definitely be booking a mini break there another time.

Anna Bay Beach Hut
Beautiful location, great house. We loved the fire pit, the extra accomodation out the back and the comfy beds. Thanks for hosting us 👌

Box Beach House, Shoal Bay
A great, spacious house with everything you could need. We loved being so close to both the bush and the ocean. It’s a quiet, peaceful location with easy walking access to the beach. The host was very helpful with local tips and quick to answer any questions we had.

Cozy cottage close to beach
Stephan's place is lovely. My wife loved the decor. Some very pretty touches that helps to make you feel relaxed and in a home away from home. Convenient location for what we wanted to see and do in Nelson Bay. 15 minute walk along the bay foreshore to the shopping centre and marina. Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll be back around the same time next year.

Sul Mare -Ocean Views, Heated Pool, Sauna, Fire Pl
Sul Mare is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The house sits a great location with ocean view. Checking in and out was very easy. The house was squeaky clean, everything the bathrooms, the beds, the kitchen, etc. It’s a nice neighbourhood as well; very peaceful. Jaymie was very proactive and left very clear instructions about everything. My family LOVED the house❤️ I would absolutely recommend this home to any visitors to Nelson Bay!
