Mistress Block Vineyard - The Studio
Absolutely beautiful studio that overlooks a valley filled with Kangaroos, Rabbits and plenty of birds. Driving into this property i was blown away by how gorgeous this place is in person. The studio gets plenty of sun, and is less than a 5 min walk away from Audrey Wilkinson. The location of the property is perfect, as it felt very private yet was so close to everything that Pokolbin had to offer! Sally was very responsive, making our check in & stay feel seamless. She also recommended some local eateries, and was very kind and welcoming. Genuinely can’t recommend this place enough, the whole experience was a 10/10 and i’m looking forward to coming here again. Thank you so so much Sally and Iain for hosting us!

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!

There was plenty to do at the bnb with the pool and hot tub being especially big hits. Would definitely recommend!

Seals Way - An iconic A-frame.
Our second stay at fabulous Seal way and we had the best time. Lucked out with some fine weather after all the heavy rain and even did some stargazing on the first night around the outdoor fire pit. The only bad thing about this house is that you have to leave !!!! We will be back for sure Thanks so much

Wanda Wanda Luxury House for Singles and Couples
Beautifully appointed, squeaky clean, comfy and light, this modern 2 storey home is a short walk from a lovely beach and sunsets. The local shops are a bonus, walking distance with everything we needed. It rained while we were there but the spa and fire pit looked inviting.

Castaway @ Nelson Bay
We had a fantastic stay at Marcus and Helen's property. The decor is absolutely lovely—thoughtfully chosen and welcoming, creating a real home-away-from-home vibe. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed, including quality crockery and utensils. The furniture throughout the house was very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. On top of all that, the location was ideal—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see and do. Highly recommended!

Beach across the road•Firepit, private location
Perfect Weekend Getaway! We had a wonderful weekend stay at Naomi’s place! The location was fantastic, just a 10-minute walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun. The place was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the large outdoor living area. The host was friendly and responsive, making the entire experience even better. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the beach!

Walking distance to the bay & surrounds. Andrew was informative and responsive throughout our stay, would highly recommend this property.

‘The Med’ at Bianco on Shoal - 3 Bedroom escape
What a beautiful and incredibly well designed house. The style and finishing touches were just perfect. I literally couldn’t fault a thing it was just perfect.

Vue One Nelson Bay Waterfront Luxury
Absolutely magic. The location is next-level — peaceful, private… and those views! Aside from the property being spotless, beautifully styled and with every amenity you could possibly want, Andrea made us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we booked. Incredible communication, fresh sourdough from a local bakery on arrival and our groceries picked up and unpacked for us — the greatest luxury! We travelled in late Autumn, but that didn’t stop us swimming in the beautifully heated pool and curling up on the balcony with blankets. The board games were such a fun way to spend our evenings and the dog treats and beds had our pups feeling like royalty. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for all of your care during our stay Andrea!

"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!

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.

Lagoon house with a view!
Easily one of the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at. You can tell Adrian & Fiona really care about the guest experience, everything was thoughtfully arranged, from the amenities to the cozy touches around the space. The place was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. Check in was easy and the communication with the host was smooth. Thank you for such a lovely experience. We will be back!

Onda at Shoal Bay Beach
Onda is a beautiful house with everything you need and so much more. Modern and extremely well appointed. Close to the beach and not far from amenities, this is the perfect holiday home for a large group. They even provide beach umbrella, towels and beach bags. Giuseppe and Rosa were also very helpful and responded immediately to questions. We love Onda!
