Bar Beach Apartment - 300m to sand, surf & cafes
This place is beautifully decorated, we enjoyed staying here. Clean, comfortable and fully equipped for anything you need. Loves the coffee machine š

Water Views of Shoal Bay Beach!
Location is perfect. Amazing view and verandah. Lovely to wake up to and watch the sunset. Super close to the water and walking distance to all restaurants and cafes. Spacious and all amenities you need. Comfy lounge, good tv, modern look. Could do with some new pillows and the shower needs updating (temp regulation not great). Otherwise recommend and would stay here again for sure.

Shoal Bay Shores, modern beachfront unit + Wifi
A beautiful apartment with the most stunning view. The apartment was extremely clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay with our girls. Emma was an excellent host.

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrianās place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didnāt want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience weāve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Boomer's Beach House
Boomers Beach House! Amazing. Took the family fora little getaway and the place was amazing. The Balcony is exceptional! Phenomenal Views. Very large and so well put together with the shade available. Loved our stay, short walk to all the beaches even for my 2 y.o. Cafe's also in walking distance. Thank you again Tony.

Lalapanzi Beach Shack
We LOVED our stay here! The water pressure is the best Iāve ever felt. The beautiful back deck is covered- I sat out under the pouring rain while sipping my coffee and it was magical. Itās right across the road from the beach and the neighborhood is quiet and so pretty with eucalyptus and palm trees everywhere. Definitely coming back!

Serenity on the Sand!
We had a wonderful stay at Serenity on the Sand. The location is absolutely stunning, just steps away from a beautiful, quiet beach perfect for a peaceful weekend getaway. The home itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was the ideal spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty around us.

Luxury BeachFront House @Redhead Newcastle
Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

Beach House. Book 2 nights, stay 3rd FREE!
Beautiful and spacious home that had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. Great communication and received all the information we needed for our stay. Would highly recommend this property for families and friends wanting to enjoy a weekend by the beach!

Beach House Getaway
a great place in a great location! Everything was as mentioned. Joel 's a good communicator. Everything went smoothly. Definitely recommended

Caves Beach House
My partner and I, and our 3 kids (between 5 and 8) had a great time! The house has a hot-water outdoor shower to get properly clean after a day at the beach. You can watch the beautiful sunrise across the ocean from the large living room windows. The kitchen has PLENTY of cooking utensils and crockery. TV has all the apps. The ping pong table downstairs was also worth it. It's useful to know that three of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs, and one queen bedroom is upstairs where the rest of the action is. The front balcony is nice and spacious, and the deck out to the back is HUGE! The location is extremely quiet, you can hear the waves on the beach. It takes about 3-5 minutes walk to get to the beach, it's very, very close.

Nelson Bay home on the beach!!
The property is at very good location, walkable to the beach and viewing Sunset from the front of the house Cleaned and cosy, feeling like our home. Well prepared of kitchen facilities. Weāre very happy with our stay there. Weāll be back there for our future trip

Spacious villa with water views (includes linen)
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 š

5 minute walk to stunning Newcastle Beach
Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when thereās a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

Luxury Beachside Apartment, Recently Renovated
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.

Bills on Boomerang
We have been on a lengthy road trip and Billās place was our favourite out of every where we stayed. The views were amazing, everything we could need was catered for and we felt very comfortable and at home. Would have extended our stay if we werenāt on a schedule so will have to come back another time. Not sad about it-a wonderful part of the world and an awesome accommodation option š

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
Thanks so much Mark & Leah for a wonderful stay. The view from this appartment is just stunning and the appartment itself was spacious, spotless and so comfortable for our stay. Bed was super comfy too and despite being right on the front the place was very soundproofed. Mark was very responsive when we were getting in and on the lead up to our stay. Thanks!

Relax in a stylish retreat by the beach and ocean
hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money

The Deckhouse
Absolutely incredible views! Iāve 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 š

The Laneway Lodgings
10 stars! The longer you stay in Keranās studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnbāers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutesā walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.
