Beautiful location. Modern house with stylish decor. Loved our stay and would highly recommend. Only minor adjustments needed. New coffee mugs and some bedrooms only have one bedside lamp.
Incredible location, great set up for multiple families, great to have kayaks at the property. Beautiful views.

We were a family of 9 adults and 2 children gathering from around the world for the first time. The house was perfect for this with the various living annd break out areas, kids’ toys games and books and access to the beach where when using the kayaks we were surrounded several times by curious gentle dolphins. The kitchens are well appointed and the barbecue very useful. Good luck working out how to use the microwave. We gave up even using the instructions! We were able to walk to the Anchorage one night for a fabulous dinner and the playground a few metres away came in very handy. The beds are super comfortable and the outdoor area perfect for all our meals at this time of the year. We would definitely return.

Clean, comfortable and convenient. The property was perfect in all areas and made our stay in Port Stephens very enjoyable. The location, near the Anchorage resort and marina, was excellent as was the access to the beach and wonderful gardens on the waterfront.

On behalf of the team at Stay Port Stephens, I would like to thank you for staying with us!
Beautiful house, perfect location - we are a group of women in our early 60’s who stayed 3 nights at this wonderful house.The only negative we gave is that the BBQ was filthy - rodent poo and dirt on the hot plate. Downstairs toilet had not been flushed properly and smudge marks in the bowl.

Hi Catherine,
Thank you for your kind words about the house and its location — we’re so glad you and your group enjoyed your stay overall.
We sincerely apologise for the condition of the BBQ and downstairs toilet upon your arrival. This is certainly not the standard we aim to uphold. Please rest assured that pest control has since attended the property, and we’re hopeful there will be no further issues with rodents going forward. We’ve also followed up with our cleaning team to ensure greater attention to detail in the future.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again for an even more enjoyable stay.
