Fingal Beach ME - family stay - 3min walk to beach
Sabina and Jeff's place was nothing short of amazing. I stayed there with my husband and group of friends 13 adults and 1 toddler. We loved how upstairs and downstairs are completely self contained. There was a door at the top of the stairs that we could lock so the little one wouldn't hurt himself on the stairs. The pool, tramp and spa were added bonuses and well used. Sabina's communication was fast and thorough. Would 1000% recommend Sabina and Jeff's place. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

The house was very nice and in a great location for anyone with dog's. Only 5 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach and half an hour's walk into town. As we haven't been to the area before, Clare's recommendations of things to do were excellent for the whole family.

Spacious Retreat in the heart of Nelson Bay
Michaels Airbnb was the perfect weekend getaway for my friends and I. Perfect location.

Kings Cottage - Dog Friendly - City Fringe
A delightful cottage, clean and equipped with all the basics you need for a short stay. The back verandah and yard were pleasant areas to relax in. Our toddler grandson was fascinated by the birds in the trees and the skinks darting among the leaf litter in the garden at the top of the yard. The high chair and portable cot provided on request were perfect and saved our daughter & son-in-law having to find a way to cram theirs in their car and bring them along on the trip.

Maryville - Tiny Urban Tranquility
Wow! I have a lot to say about this bnb experience.. First and most importantly, Sarah is such a wonderful host - she allowed us to have an extremely flexible check-in and check-out. She went above and beyond and her hospitality was honestly spectacular. She was so flexible when we requested to stay longer and even gave us discounted rates. We were shocked at the incredible value her bnb was. It was like walking into a friend's home; such a well stocked kitchen, 10/10 beds, amazing bathroom and shower, beautifully decorated home and all the homely touches that make being away from home extra special. I cannot recommend Sarah's place enough. It exceeded our expectations and Sarah is honestly the perfect host.

Communication was smooth and easy throughout our stay. I truly felt welcomed and would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially families, visiting the area. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
