Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Port Stephens Council

We absolutely loved Annie’s house! We had a peaceful and relaxing stay along with our 2 kittens. The pantry is fully stocked with essentials. It’s 2 mins drive to town proper where Woolworths is. It’s 10 mins drive to salamander shopping centre where you can find Kmart, Aldi, Woolworths etc. it’s 11 mins drive to sand dune where all tourist activities are located such as sand boarding and camel riding. Beach is super close too! If you’re looking for a relaxing and affordable place, this is the place to be!

Listing was clean, spacious and well equipped. Host was always responsive and was gracious with a late check out. Complimentary chocolates was extremely thoughtful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a weekend away.

Natalie was a great host - we booked last minute and were accommodated very well. Home was clean and well stocked in a lovely location. Communication was fantastic, and check in instructions easy and clear. Would happily stay again - thanks Natalie!

This is a lovely retreat which makes you feel on top of the world - with incredible views north over the Port Stephens peninsula. At night the stars are incredible. The house itself is modern, clean and fresh with everything you'd need - and the beds are very comfortable. The communal spa and pool is beautiful - and the water temperature was perfect. The whole place feels like a mini private resort. Jane was very communicative with clear instructions. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Michelle and Andrew’s beautiful place! The décor was stunning, and the house has a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Everything was spotlessly clean and wonderfully tidy, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, with so many extras provided to make our stay incredibly comfortable and easy. Best of all were the accomodations and little touches for dogs throughout the house. We (and our pup) loved the welcome package 🐾 It truly had everything we needed — and more! We would highly recommend the home to anyone looking for a relaxing and delightful getaway.

Jay and Rod’s home was beautiful! We had a wedding to attend at the Little Beach Boathouse, and this place was the perfect location as we could easily walk down to the venue. Would definitely recommend!

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

Great stop half way on a long trip to Canberra from NNSW. Just 1km from the highway, with nearby pub and bistro, and Foodworks. Comfy, clean and pet friendly. Easy walking paths for the pup nearby.

We loved it here. The unit is close to all amenities, clean, tidy and has everything we need. This is our 9th time staying in Nelson Bay and we change places every time. This is the first place my husband said he wanted to come back again.

A beautiful air bnb! Would definitely recommend!

I treated my son and his girlfriend to a weekend getaway, and since it was their first trip to the area, Sue was incredibly helpful with recommendations that made their stay both smooth and enjoyable. The kids had a great time, and the place was exactly as described. If I ever make it to the area myself, I’ll definitely be staying here.

Lovely clean apartment would highly recommend

My friend and I had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weekend sans kids and husbands. I would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a relaxing stay, with magnificent views and in walking distance to all Shoal Bay has to offer, in Shoal Bay.

Fantastic spot, lovely apartment easy access and private. Would stay again

Perfect home away from home, close to the beach. Good communication with hosts. Bicycles are a nice addition to explore the area and EV charging port is super useful too.

As 3 generations staying in the apartment, we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much and would comeback again. We had some trouble finding the right lift as whilst there were many long instructions, sometimes shorter, simpler instructions are easier to consume when balancing grandparents and excited kids :-). That aside, the apartment is spacious and had everything we needed, the balcony was great and the whole place comfortable. Thanks very much Susan for a lovely stay!

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

Perfect little stay for the long weekend. House had everything we needed, and it was convenient to walk along backyard through along the waterways.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

We had a wonderful stay at Adam's place. Loved the large deck - great for kids and adults alike. Everything was as per the description and photos on the website. It is a lovely open plan space. Everything you might need is within walking distance supermarket, bakery, Cafe, Golf Club. Playgrounds and of course the beach and river. Hawks Nest is a beautiful place we will be back.
