YOUR SECRET OCEANFRONT RETREAT!! (at Fishermans Bay - near Anna Bay, a short drive from Nelson Bay).
MESSAGE FROM THE OWNERS; "The perfect house for your perfect summer holiday. "Heart's Nest" is one of the most amazing and popular holiday-rental properties in the entire Port Stephens area. But don't take my word for it - please READ THE GUESTBOOK ENTRIES, further down and to the right of screen".
"Heart's Nest" has the most spectacular ocean view you will ever see! Nestled between the magnificent Pacific Ocean and the beautiful Tomaree National Park, "Heart's Nest" is the perfect place from which to discover all that is magical about Port Stephens. What's more, it's so romantic; this is one of the few places on the east coast of Australia where you can watch the summer sun set over the ocean. And we have a great family beach a minute's walk away (photo in gallery).
Here's what a recent guest wrote in our guest book: "A long drive from Melbourne - but so worth the trip. Such a comfortable home with the ultimate view! Thrilled to see whales breaching and dolphins passing by - right in front of the house. Our sand dunes thrill-seeking adventure with driver 'Swampy' had our hearts racing and the kids shrieking - so much fun! One week at 'Heart's Nest' is definitely not enough - but would any stay ever be? We are already planning our next trip up here. We all LOVE 'Heart's Nest'. P.S. Look forward to booking our next holiday with you Phil - you were spot-on about what a great time we'd have. Thanks so much."
Note: This property SLEEPS 6 people in total: MAXIMUM of 5 ADULTS... in 2 queen bedrooms plus a third bedroom which contains a set of bunk beds-ideal for the kids. Minimum weekend stay is 2 nights, minimum mid-week stay is 3 nights.
While staying at "Heart's Nest", it's likely you'll see HUMPBACK WHALES (May to September) and dolphins (all year round) playing in the waves right outside your front door, or you could see a pair of echidnas waddling out of the national park at your back gate.
Invest in some downtime or be as active as you like. Sunbake on the front porch while seabirds dive on passing shoals of fish, pack a picnic lunch and trek to your heart's content along the pristine sands of Stockton Beach, laze in the cool shade of the Norfolk pines in the back garden, or visit a modern air-conditioned mall (just a short drive away) for some well-earned retail therapy. Then there's whale watching, bird watching, swimming at the safe family beach about a minute's walk away, tennis, 4-wheel-driving, sand surfing, golf, horse riding, cycling and boating. The choices are virtually endless, while the decisions are nothing but tantalising.

Here's what a recent guest wrote about "Heart's Nest":
"Amazing views. Just what we wanted, even better than shown on the internet. Large living areas, and so relaxing."

"Fantastic retreat. Very nicely appointed, great facilities. We loved it, especially having a bit of space after 2 weeks in a caravan with 5 people! Love the blue juice Cafe, loved the deck. On our last morning we saw about 7 whales (including calves) breaching, waving, spyhopping, jumping, playing, spouting, for about 2 hours all while sitting having our breakfast, most exciting thing I have ever seen in my life, much better view than the boat cruise!!! We would love to return sometime. Thanks so much."

And another...:
"Thank you for opening your home to us - literally - it doesn't feel like a holiday rental, it feels as though friends have left their home for us to enjoy. All our needs were met, having a few extras like olive oil and vinegar, soap powder and body lotions made our holiday luxurious. We also saw whales within 15 minutes of arrival. It was wonderful to view them from the verandah. Thanks again."
Sally,
Annangrove, NSW
And finally:
"This is a truly lovely, peaceful and capricious haven. Our first day was amazing with loud crashing surf and dolphins leaping in and out of the waves. It blew us Dutchies completely away. The next day, with flat surf and blue skies, we only had peace and relaxation. This is a definite 'come back again' place."
