Description

"BEST VIEW IN PORT STEPHENS"
Breathtaking views across the Bay and all the way up the coast to Seal Rocks lighthouse.
This magnificent 4-bedroom house (sleeps 10 people - maximum of 8 adults) features BAY & OCEAN VIEWS from all the living rooms, the library and the front balcony. It's luxury all the way with two huge eat-in kitchens, formal dining room, and enormous lounge room - all facing North for maximum sunshine (winter warmth and summer cooling orientation). There's also a home-theatre room, and four big bedrooms (3 queen beds plus 4 single beds - house sleeps up to 8 adults and 2 children - or fewer adults and more children). The master bedroom boasting a lavish ensuite with spa bath. Note: you are NOT renting individual rooms, YOU ARE RENTING THE ENTIRE 2-STOREY HOUSE. It is about 15 minutes walk (3-minutes drive) into the vibrant heart of Nelson Bay - close enough to enjoy the buzz but far enough to be quiet and tranquil. And it's about a 5-minute walk (1 minute drive) to the closest beach.
This is NOT a Party House, it is a Sophisticated Holiday Home for the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of all that the Port has to offer (sorry, no Schoolies allowed). Magnificently furnished and delightfully decorated, this house is an absolute privilege to holiday in.

Here's what some recent guests wrote about "Mansion by the Bay":
"Fantastic change of pace from the city rush. Thanks for sharing this treasure of a home with us. Our whole family had a great time - loved the walks and sunsets."
............................................................J.P., Melbourne
"We loved all the space in this wonderful house and, of course, the views are marvellous. We recommend the IMAGINE cruise. We did the 3 hr. snorkel/dolphin trip on our first day and their 2 hr. Sundowner trip on our last evening. We saw lots of dolphins and both trips were extremely relaxing. Fingal Bay is stunning for sand and surf, and Bub's (near the Fisherman's Co-op at the Nelson Bay marina) fish & chips are the best in the Bay. Don't want to go home."

  • "the home was definitely the wow factor..it was great and very impressive. we had 8 ladies celebrating a 50th birthday and had the best time. the home is large enough to find your own space if you need it but the views are to die for. i would definitely reccomend this property to anyone who wants to feel pampered in this magnificent property."

  • "Spectacular home with exquisite views! In addition to great location and furnishings, the house had the little knick-knacks that makes it a home - eg. full kitchen stocked with essentials, little card/board games for the children, dvds cds for entertainment! Certainly one of the best i've stayed at "

  • "I defintely enjoyed my stay at Mansion's by the bay. The view was beautiful, and I never knew the house was so close to the beach, it was great for my family and I, so just go in and out of the house, no hassel at all. The house was great!!! A lot to do, for the kids especially. Thank you so much, and I'd like to come back some time. I would reccommend this house, especially to big families."
