Merewether Excelsior
We had a beautiful time! We didn’t spend much time at the BnB since we were out exploring — it’s super close to everything! It has all the great facilities you’d need if you just wanted to stay in, including dinnerware, a cooktop, and a COFFEE MACHINE! The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and everything was super clean, tidy, and spacious. Jennifer is so lovely and created an amazing stay for us!

Corona Cottage - A Private Oasis
Definitely one of the best AirBnB we have stayed at. Judy and Bruce were welcoming, helpful and friendly, even allowing us to check in an hour early (after a very early start for an early flight). Corona cottage is delightful and has everything you could need for a relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was rather squeaky, but comfortable according to our adult son who slept on it, and the queen bed was very comfortable. The grounds are perfectly maintained and the pool looked lovely (although we did not get to use it due to rainy weather). A nice touch was the fresh fruit bowl and continental breakfast supplied. Overall, an amazing place for our family to relax and unwind, I highly recommend it if you are visiting the area.

TWO DOORS || Chic, vineyard cottage
Stayed for two nights with my partner. The property is located on a beautiful spot with vineyards, ponds, trees, and views of the surrounding valley. The welcome gift was very much appreciated. Would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for hosting us!

Waterfront guest house on absolute waterfront
From the moment I arrived, Tracey’s attention to detail and exceptional communication made the entire experience a dream. Warm winter sun, huge uninterrupted views, privacy and extremely well appointed accommodation, is but a few of the benefits of staying at this Airbnb.

Modern beach house
Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a perfect location. It’s like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Granny’s Pool. The outdoor dining area was our favourite place to sit and enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax for dinner in complete privacy. The amenities are modern and everything you need - we didn’t want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!

Beachside cabin + solar heated pool @ Spoon Bay
Justine was friendly, helpful and promptly responsive. The cabin was clean, cozy and very comfortable, with all the essentials of home. Loved Forresters Beach, a beautiful sanctuary and very picturesque!!

CAMPBELL'S COTTAGE, Seal Rocks
Cozy place with everything you need to settle right in for either a short stay or a longer holiday. Quiet street and very short walk to the lookout over boat beach down the road. Christine is a lovely person and made a great effort to make sure we were looked after in every way. I would love to stay again

Private granny flat
Tania was lovely - really friendly. She was very responsive and provided tips on things to do during the stay. She has the makes herself available if there are any issues (we had a tiny issue with the key, which was resolved immediately), but otherwise ensures that she doesn't intrude on your stay. She is very mindful of this.
Guesthouses with a patio

Stunning Lake front studio Guesthouse.
The place is great w/ pool. Great staycation place. Do note that you’ll be sharing the building with owner who lives upstairs.

The Poolhouse Port Stephens
We had a wonderful stay at Josie’s pool house. Everything was excellent. Josie was super friendly and proactive with wonderful recommendations and always available for any requests we had. The pool house is properly relaxing, the pool, hot tub and mini golf were a lot of fun, we enjoyed spending quiet time and star gazing at night while enjoying the hot tub! We enjoyed all the little extras Josie left for us in the pool house too to make our stay extra comfortable. This is an amazing place to stay when visiting Port Stephen’s, fabulously located close to everything but still very private - the view was stunning. We loved Josie’s café where we enjoyed some yummy brunch - thank you for the extra coffee coins! We will definitely recommend!

Coastal Farmstay
My mum, my brother and I had a great time at Karen’s self-check-in accommodation in Bobs Farm. My wife and I got married at the winery and restaurant Sunset + Vine a few km down the road from the place, and the place was perfect for our needs. Karen was an amazing responsive host, and even assisted with picking up my mother and brother at the end of the night after the ended celebration to ensure they got home safe. Would highly recommend.

Shelly Beach Guesthouse Retreat
Our second stay with Tye and Emma. Such a comfortable spot, and great hosts! Very friendly and accommodating. Thanks guys!

Palms boutique accomodation
The space had a cosy, homey feel and communication was clear throughout. The listing had Megan as the host, but we were greeted by Nick and mainly interacted with him. He was warm and friendly and even made us a fire, which was very cool. Their dog barked when we arrived but relaxed quickly, our 4-year-old loved him. We did notice some noise from upstairs (footsteps and muffled conversation), but it wasn’t too loud or disruptive. A pleasant spot for a to stay.

THE POD - Newly built studio with ocean views
Great spot! Thanks for having us :)

The Ettalong Tree Tops | Winter discounts
Great Pet Friendly accommodation. Excellent communication, great location and exceptional value. Highly recommend and will stay again when in the area.

Salty at Forresters Beach with Hot Tub
Lovely place Beautiful quiet clean. Super comfy with all the kitchen needs readily available. Walking distance to the beach and the nature reserve. Our dogs were so happy especially when we took them to the off leash beach about 10 mins away. Really appreciated the milk bread jam and choccies. Definitely enjoyed the spa under the stars Looking forward to another visit. Thank you Ella

Whalewatching winter special amazing ocean view
Our second visit and Aimee certainly did not disappoint! Her home and hosting is totally next level. The attention to detail, cleanliness and her responsiveness sets some of the highest standards we've experienced for value. Thanks again Aimee, we look forward to another anniversary experience where perhaps the weather will also delivery on your excellence! No mind, love it anyway.

The Soluna Studio
We loved our stay at Soluna Studio. The hosts were friendly without being intrusive and provided helpful information. They were very responsive, for instance bringing olive oil when we asked! Their dogs are adorable but weren’t intrusive either. The space is surprisingly quiet considering the location. Would stay again.

❤ Lazy Hans cabin 12min Walk to the Ettalong Beach
This was our second stay in the cabin and definitely not our last. I can't speak highly enough of the host, the space and the location... everything is just wonderful. The Cabin is very well decked out and feels like a private retreat. It's the perfect size for a beach side getaway with pooch in hand. The hosts are extremely welcoming and everything is a short walk away. Thanks for a great stay.

The Lakehouse
We were so pleased with The Lake House, from sunrise to sunset. Cannot beat that waterfront deck for relaxation and photo opportunies! We were comfortable and felt at home; nice to have home comforts like a dedicated parking spot, a kitchenette, comfortable couch and streaming TV services . Michelle and Jeff communicated clearly, were very firendly and offered local recommendations. Restaurants and shopping were in walking distance, too. This was the weekend we needed. (If there's a next time we must get out with the kayaks!)

Merewether modern beachside studio loft
A light fresh, spacious, well appointed and private studio in a quiet street that is a minute or so stroll from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our very personable host, Elizabeth. We particularly appreciated the opportunity to walk from Merewether to Bar Beach, stopping for coffee and snacks along the way. There's also an easy walk to The Junction for dinner and supplies.

Sunray @ Nobbys - Beachside Studio with Spa
Loved this place. The spa bath was lovely! Close to Flynn’s beach and a short drive to main beach, restaurants. A really cosy place. Needs instructions on how to operate the blinds though hahaha we figured it after a while.

Loft Style Self Contained Apartment
Had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Jennifer was responsive and welcoming, making check-in and communication super easy. The location was great—close to everything we needed but still quiet and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again!

New Luxury Loft Guest house with private Spa
This was a wonderful place to stay with my partner and dog. The place was new, clean and had everything we needed with the added benefit of the Spa.
